I have the HSFX and the installation includes a mods folder- I have been able to add just about any mod I wish, except new aircraft. The JSGME utility allows me to disable any conflicting mods if I run into compatibility problems online.
I do understand that one can add aircraft, but it means changing the buttons file, and can therefore cause compatibility issues.
I installed and tested UP 1.8, first impressions:
- very bad sounds
- gun sound poor
- overall feeling poor
I will make full report later esp. aircraft positions
Jimdandy,
You are incorrect, look in your IL-2 folder and you will see 52 .SFS files the game is compressed and encoded into
HSFX people finally figured out how to take the loose files of mods and 'recompress' them into their appropiate .SFS file names .. the game seeks "loose" file names first, then the .SFS file that should have the file inside .. so the more 'loose' files in folders you have, the more work your computer does in finding a file(name)
So it takes more time to load the game, hurts framerates a bit and contributes to 'drawing' pauses to have ( GBs of ) loose files replacing a games compressed and encoded volume files
I used UI 1.x since my active return to IL-2 about 6 months ago, really like it and look foward to AAA's (apparently) working with HSFX to put out what we all appreciate about AAA community mods combined with 4.09m and compressed in .SFS files where practical to do so
There is no problem adding new mods or aircrafts to packs like HSFX or UP.Just search better for what you think is not possible. :wink:
Here is the wrapper order
quote:
For additional mods just follow the usual procedure and drop them in the MODS folder. The mod folder work exactly as before and the wrapper will load this folder first so whatever is there will have priority. The wrapper order is MODS folder (alphabetical order), Files folder, sfs files (as indicated in the ".rc" file). Any mod dropped in the mods folder is active (no need to use jsgme) and as usual if you want to inactivate just insert a "-" in front of the folder name or delete the folder.
