Installation Instructions for HSFX Version 6.0 released June, 2012

Whats in HSFX 6.0 ?

See this PDF file for the content in HSFX version 6.0 - http://242sqn.com/Temporary/HSFX_6_Readme.pdf

Installer

The HSFX 6.0 install package is an all-in-one installer, that includes all the content from previous HSFX releases with version 6.0. NO other patches are required.

Recommended Installation

We recommend that you should make a copy of an existing IL-2 folder and it's sub-directories to install Version 6.0 into, in case you have any problems. If you do have problems, you need a good version to copy from, to start again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Filenames and Size

The installer for HSFX History Mod Version 6.0 consists of the following files ;

You need to download each file and place them all in one folder together.

- HSFX_Version_6_0.EXE - 650 Mb.
- HSFX_Version_6_0.W02 - 650 Mb.
- HSFX_Version_6_0.W03 - 650 Mb.
- HSFX_Version_6_0.W04 - 41 Mb.
- Part2_Ver_6.EXE ..........- 650 Mb.
- Part2_Ver_6.W02..........- 650 Mb.
- Part2_Ver_6.W03..........- 604 Mb.
- Part3_Ver_6.EXE..........- 650 Mb.
- Part3_Ver_6.W02..........- 85 Mb.
............................. total - 4,630 Mb. (4.6 Gb.)

This is a three part install, due to the size limitations of the installer software used. The part2_Ver_6.EXE file is the second part, and
Part3_Ver_6.EXE the third, both are executed automatically by the HSFX_Version_6_0.EXE. To start the installation run HSFX_Version_6_0.EXE

This is a very large release, because it contains all Mod content from the very beginning of HSFX History Mod.

Steps required to install HSFX History Mod Version 6.0

You must follow the sequence below.

Step 1 : Use the jsgme switcher, and disable all installed mods, including the HSFX Mod.


Step 2 : Ensure that version of IL-2 that you are updating with HSFX 6.0, has already been updated to IL-2 Version 4.11.1, the Team Daidalos
patch. If you have just installed the 4.11.1 patch run it at least once to be sure it is working.

4.11.1 Available here - http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=29039

Step 3 : Install HSFX version 6.0 Run HSFX_Version_6_0.EXE and answer the questions displayed by the installer, Ensure that when the installer asks for which folder to install Version 6.0 into, that you point it at the folder for the Il2 Sturmovik 46 directory you want to update.

IMPORTANT : For users with previous versions of The History Mod and any other Mod packages installed, the Version 6.0 Installer will delete the previous versions Files and all files, and rename the Mods folders (jsgmemods), as they must be updated to work with the IL-2 Team Daedalus 4.11.1 patch to function. If you want to keep these folders, you should rename them, or move them before running the Installer.

Step 4 : Use the jsgme switcher, and enable the HSFX History mod.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a detailed Read Me.doc with all the features included in Version 6.0 installed into your IL-2 Sturmovik root folder.

Any questions, problems should be posted in the IL-2 Mod Forum.
