I recently installed HSFX 4.0. When I start up il2, everything is in cryillic. But the more serious issue is that about ten seconds after it loads it shuts down completely. No warning, no error message, nothing. Then I turn the history mod off in the jsgme and it works fine. I don't get it, what am I doing wrong :???:
You may have to do a reinstall, it took me about 5 times but now it works like a charm.....Try running the game with ONLY HSFX History enabled and see what happens, then add mods through JGSME until you run into some issues.
For the Russian/crylic I installed this: English Career Language Fix
Here is the list of files installed on a Win7 to the C: drive NOT PROGRAM FILES NOR PROGRAM FILES (X86)!! :
CD install, 4.08, 4.09, HSFX 4, HSFX 4.1, 4.1 HOtfix, English Language (in that exact order)
Hope this helps
