What happens when you start the game with the exe inside your 4.0 folder?
well actually the first time i installed the mod it kinda messed up my game. the shortcut on my desktop couldnt find il2fb.exe and asked if i wanted to remove the shortcut. i copied over another il2fb.exe from my backup which is 4.08m, maybe this is the issue? should i get another clean patch and then try again?
-> just tried enabling the mod and running the exe in the folder, didnt work either. it launched the russian one and crashed soon after

Try installing 4.07m Clean install from disk--
then the 4.08m clean-- then 4.09m clean. NOW INSTALL HSFX .
WATCH the game path close when you install the HSFX.
Check and run game after each install to insure all works as you go.
ok its solved ! i dont know which one of this steps did it but it just worked ! i copied my backup 4.08m and patched it to 4.09m then put in HSFX 4 then 4.1 and the fix and it worked!!!! Thx for ur help and replies :wink:

Did you have the Zuti mod ACTIVE?
It located in the JSGME.
i had this 01_carrier takeoff mod 5.3.3 enabled. is there anyway i can choose to start on a carrier instead of landing on one everytime?
You must be on a carrier that actually has a catapult- not all of them did.
The carrier takeoff mod is included in the Zuti DS v1.01_UP, you do not need to have both enabled.
To start on a carrier's deck, you need to to have a mission where you start on the deck, either a single or coop mission or a "scramble" type mission for that map in your QMB.
theres no scramble mode for coral sea map. and i tried it on the royal navy carrier illustrious or something ? and which is better? the carrier takeoff or zuti ds?
