Installation Instructions for HistorySFX Version 5.0
1: Patch il2 Sturmovik 46 to Full 4.10.1 m
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detail : The HSFX 5.0, requires an install of Il-2 Sturmovik 1946, plus Patches 4.08 and 4.09 4.10 & 4.10.1.
No other previous Patches are needed. Version 5.0 includes all the HSFX developments from the beginning, plus the new content of version 5.0.
For user's with previous versions of The HSFX installed, the Version 5.0 Installer will replace the previous versions mods & files folders if present.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 : If you downloaded IL-2 (Digital version), instead of installing from the CD, get update Patch.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detail : If you have the digital download version of il2 Sturmovik 1946, and have not installed from the CD, you will need to download and apply this patch :-
SAS special patch :
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,1531.0.html
You should do this, before installing HSFX V 5.0.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Download the Installer files.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detail : The Version 5.0 Installer has been split into multiple 650 mb. Files. This has been done to reduce the possibility of file corruption when downloading. Also if a downloaded file is found to be corrupt, it reduces the size of the file that you must re-download.
The files to be downloaded are ;
HSFX_Version_5_0.EXE - 650 Mb.
HSFX_Version_5_0.W02 - 650 Mb.
HSFX_Version_5_0.W03 - 609 Mb.
Part2_Ver_5.EXE - 650 Mb.
Part2_Ver_5.W02 - 650 Mb.
Part2_Ver_5.W03 - 650 Mb.
Part2_Ver_5.W04 - 34 Mb.
You will need to place all seven files in one folder to run the installer, as they are in actuality one large file.
A small utility program, to calculate "hash sums" to verify the file downloaded, can be downloaded at - http://www.slavasoft.com/hashcalc/index.htm
Each of the files can be downloaded via the links below (links updated June 3, 2009) ;
The hash sums, used to check for a corrupted download, for this file are ;
MD5 -
CRC32 -
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Point the HSFX v5 installer at your il2 Sturmovik 46 Installation directory and click Install.
The installation itself takes up to about 5 minutes depending upon your PC.
You do not need to manually activate the Part2 exe. This is utilised automatically as part of the install process.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5: Look on your desktop or in the il2 Sturmovik 46 folder for JGSME.exe
In JGSME you will see several options on the left. The important one is to enable is the
HSFX HISTORY MOD
(apply it so that it moves from the Left window to the Right)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intention
This is a ‘unified’ set of additions.
Providing all players use the same it is possible to play on servers with Checkruntime =2 enabled. So that we have security and also know that others are playing with similar set up.
IF you download & add other components or in other ways alter the content of your own install you will quickly no longer have an identical install to others (unless you are very systematic about it with your own installers etc.) and you will loose the ability to join missions there UNLESS you know what you are doing and can disable your additions when required.
If you play offline this makes no difference whatsoever anyway.
This remains a WIP and if you notice anything that it may be possible for us to improve or incorporate, please post on the relevant forum.
Our emphasis and focus is on WWII and close thereto, including 'everything but the kitchen sink' is certainly another approach (more valid in the early days) but there is a point when you have to define what it is that you do. If you try and be 'all things to all men' you generally achieve none of those things.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Languages:-
(you can get some different GUI languages now from AAS without affecting compatibility if you wish, so if you
wish to see menus in another language look around here :- index.php )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Readme’s detailed readme’s by the authors are contained in a new
HSFX V5 Tools & Read me's folder created during the installation in the il2 root folder.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sound: -
This is a hybrid system but is most heavily based upon Tiger Sounds II, although very heavily streamlined, reduced and optimised to work Ok using default settings and Hardware acceleration. The engine sample sets are now composed of a larger number of (smaller) samples so the engine state/rev bands are far more differentiated than before. These Samples were mostly Tigers but reduced to 2s loops, which is the il2 default.
Tiger introduced a couple of great innovations: -
In game it is to set distance restrictions for external sounds and this helps to stop 'Sound radar'. You are unlikely to hear an enemy aircraft unless it is very close.
A fundamental problem with a flightsim is that you don't experience the same kind of feedback that a real pilot does. Its impossible obviously to recreate this, however sound can be used more effectively to do this than it has been so there has been a conscious effort also to expand upon this aspect with new sounds for new functions and more Stress and G force related sound cues.
Huge thanks to Tiger and the original team (Josse coding ?) that made TigerII sounds. (and RollnLoop for his input also with us in relation to this a while ago). Also to Freddie for the breathing effect and some of the extra G cues.
Note:- In cockpit sound may at first be pretty loud if you are using settings from a prior installation of HSFX. Turn down the general sound volume a little and all will be good.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics: -
Recommended that you enable S3TC compression in your graphics card setup.
Launch il2 Setup, select Video tab, Choose Custom. Check ARB texture compression box and then select S3TC compression.
The mods have increased the amount of textures and their sizes considerably and this really helps those with older PC’s and graphics cards to avoid a CTD during mission loading or game launch on a few of the very texture rich new maps.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JGSME SWITCHER OPTIONS
HSFX v4 gives the user a few options depending upon preferences and Hardware:-.
We have used JGSME to do this as its simple.
To turn ON any of the below options :-
start JGSME
and move from LEFT to RIGHT :-
To turn OFF any of the below options :-
start JGSME
and move from RIGHT to LEFT :-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPERT mode
Highly recommended that you try this.
Developed for SEOW but the same changes should be universally applicable.
This Switcher Option activates Aachens FULL FM's. (see full explanation below)
Custom ini's (see below, Ground and Ships) reduce load and we believe, make the ground and naval war more realistic. Tanks, Guns & Infantry perform more efficiently and historically in relation to each other. Outcomes of Naval battles are more as you might expect them to be, naval AAA uses effective rather than maximum ranges.
Ranges are usually less and reload times longer, so you can have more objects in missions or you can turn up the RoF settings.
The blast radius of larger Kilo bombs are equalized out so that IJN and Soviet bombs display similar blast characteristics to LW ordinance. (Not sure why they should have been so radically different, the power is similar, but the blast radius were radically different for the same amount of explosives.
Because this is its own unique net version we were able to enable a few extra opening Canopies for this option as the incompatibility that creates the smoke bug should not arise.
This is NOT compatible online with the Stock Game (you will not be able to join), it effectively turns HSFX into its own Net version. You will not be able to join Stock games with it, and stock games will not be able to join you. Host and Client both have to be running this Option with its own HSFXv5.0 net version to use this compatibly Online.
This Option allows us to explore a lot of new options without compromising the stock game, Oleg's FM's or the online community.
( note : If you drag the buttons or other files from this into your stock game version piecemeal because you like a specific FM etc, you will get a no boot.
This is deliberate. )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perfect Map Textures
Beautifully retextured versions of most of il2’s default maps by VpMedia, LAL_Rhone and Gilb57 (winter Textures) and Slade (Russian maps).
These look lovely. And if your PC can run il2 in ‘Perfect’ graphics mode, it is definitely worth using this option.
If you use this option and don’t play in ‘perfect’ you may possibly experience imperfections & little glitches on some of the maps.
If you don’t use this option your game remains compatible with others who are running the textures but the older maps will look ordinary.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6do MOD for TIR users (Shr)
Allows 6do in il2.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carrier_Takeoff_5_4 (fireball)
HSFX5.0 see's the very welcome return of Fireball with a comprehensive update of what many regard as one of the 'must have' mods.
See read me
This alters the carrier line up sequence and allows a lot more aircraft to start on carrier decks.
This is separate from the Catapult aspect which is always on whether this is enabled or not. (It’s a mission file parameter and so is very highly tuneable anyhow)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock 4.10.1:-
In normal circumstances just disabling all of the options with JSGME (moving to the left side) should return you to stock 4.10.1
If all else fails try this Switcher. (NoCD exe included).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tiger's Flybys
Included but in a very stripped down form. These can be pretty spectacular when watching tracks or in external views (press F3) for Flyby.
For sound synchronisation of flyby's set your config.ini to:-
[HookViewFly Config]
timeFirstStep=2.9
deltaZ=60.0
For maximum sound quality with flybyes you could add Tiger's original loose Flyby samples. (only the flybye samples & presets, the code etc is already contained in HSFX )
(For CRT checks, then the client and host must both have flyby's set to the same setting with jsgme (ON for all or OFF for all) It is better to leave as much as possible optional. Flyby's are great for offline, watching tracks or making movies, but they do use resources and some people have no use for them (or may not like them.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sounds Default:- (SAS_Cirx)
Reverts il2 to Stock sound. But still allows you to use all of the other content and should be CRT compliant
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effects Low:-
Reverts il2 to simple stock graphical effects (smoke, explosions etc )
Hakenkruz enabler (Brigstock)
Simple and self explanatory switcher option so as not to offend or upset in some countries.
Content in HSFX V 5.0
Game performance increases
SFS Files
I think we demonstrated pretty conclusively the advantages of this format in V4 +.
We continue to expand upon our previous work because there is no need to 're-invent the wheel' is there. The last two years during which many many of you have used hfx SFS archives, in one pack or another, speak louder than words.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naming convention:-
Non Stock Aircraft/Ships/Vehicles/ Loadouts are all denoted by a *
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GUI changes
Old style IL2 Sturmovik game menus. (Fly Zo)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
128 Player co-op (FC)
This version includes the code that allows up to 128 players in an on-line coop mission. The actual number of players that play without excessive lag and micro pauses, etc. depends on the performance of the server that is hosting the coop.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hidden Co-op Slots 2.4 (UF_Fernand)
Hidden Coop Slots 2.5:- UF_Fernand
Add the following to the bottom of the mission file. (Server is important if the missions run on dedicated co-op servers.)
The other names should be relevant to the squads/groups that fly the mission.
[MODSLOT]
Server 29Sqn R IAF (etc etc red groups)
JG27 22GCT B 6s (etc etc Blue groups)
Players without any of the above will not see any aircraft at all.
Missions without [MODSLOT] etc at the bottom are not affected by this at all.
Look at the 4.10 DF read me for the conf.ini server parameters available in 4.10 to disable various items in the in game Score table (eg Aircraft players are flying etc)
Bomb Bay Doors + 2.5 (Fireball)
Rewritten by Fireball for 4.10.1 & HSFX.
Players need to assign a key to open their Bombay doors and also can control a number of other functions not usually available.
Also adds a variety of new Server defined views (which are incredibly useful.)
This version incorporates Fireballs HUD alterations also so that you can define speed and altitude units that you see displayed initially with an conf.ini entry.
See enclosed HSFX_BombBayDoors_for_4.10_README.txt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ai V3.0 (Certificate)
An improved version of the AI routines for the AI controlled aircraft.
This has had to be modified a fair amount to incorporate 4.10 routines and also HSFX specific aircraft but we hope it does justice to Certificates work.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carrier Catapult Mod (Fireball)
See Carrier Takeoff read me.
You don't need to have CTO on for this to work, it is there by default.
But you have to add the correct parameters to your mission file to enable this.
Taxi forward to the catapult track. Put chocks in and you will snap to the catapult track.
Throttle up and deploy flaps etc, when you release chocks the catapult will fire you forward.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radar for Ground and ships (Maraz, Manu & 4Shades)
See SEOW read me. This is a seow specific feature.
This allows placement and operation of working Radar networks within missions.
For ground networks you have to place Radar chain High and Radar Chain Low stationary objects or ships with working Radar, ( all Carriers, Cruisers and Battleships + later US Destroyers) into the mission and then the
RadarControl SEOW (Early Type)
or
RadarControl Late SEOW (this type is more accurate 44 +)
for the Host.
Data is then output to the Radar display pages of the SEOW mission planner.
(Contact us for extra details, several folders also have to be manually added.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ship damage Logging (Shades , FC, Mrz, Fireball)
Outputs damage to ships and new speeds due to damage to the Log file so that SEOW can parse cumulative ship damage & Speed reductions between missions.
(seow feature...although any other 3rd party system could make use of this with a simple eventlog parser. Damage can be applied between missions then reflected later with a simple reduction in speed and ROF )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Factory Plates
New invisible circular ‘plates’ to represent factories. (show up in red in the FMB to help positioning but are invisible in missions) These also output cumulative damage to the Log file for SEOW to parse .
Strategic damage no longer need be defined by ‘brittle’ point targets (trucks) ...you will have to identify target areas realistically and then drop large quantities of bombs on them to destroy them !.
These work fine in any context, the large ones are Tough ! (An extra seow feature is that they do output damage to the event.log, although any other 3rd party system could make use of this also with a simple eventlog parser. )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wingtip smoke altitude (fireball)
Toggling Wingtip smoke now also outputs Altitude to the eventlog.
This is to make the reconnaissance system in seow more realistic, but again any parser based system could utilise it.
Creditation ( a foreword) :-
This in some cases is becoming EXTREMELY complicated.
Many things by now have involved large numbers of people over time and the improvements have been incremental. What we may now have in many cases bears absolutely no resemblance at all to earlier incarnations, however those involved early in the process were integral to where the whole thing has got to now, take them out of that progression and there may well not have been a 'now'.
So if possible we will try to list those involved in the progression as well as those directly involved with the most recent versions of some work.
Also over time, tracking who did what and where everything came from becomes very complicated. So apologies to anyone that got overlooked, it certainly is in no way deliberate. We try to give full credit to the best of our knowledge. We have also included specific read me's etc wherever it is stipulated or sensible to do so in folder created within the il2 root directory.
We do not in any way claim anybodies work, what we have done is simply to put it into its native format, update and make compatible with new il2 versions as/when necessary and make it freely available again in this new format.
Why do we do this ? Because the squads, groups and individuals that are involved in many of the events that we like to participate in do not consist of people that are necessarily that technically adept with mod installation. It would have been inconceivable to get everybody to the same point to play the kind of events that we have played unless we had done this. Some of the features included now also are pretty complex and are reliant upon a combination of other things being present. Not all that many people would be able to do this. Il2 'modding' is becoming more complex and more specialists.
The spin off is that this may also be useful to many others who do not have time or wish to learn about the 'mod' world but enjoy all the benefits of that world.
In many ways the same can be said about SEOW. Because you don't play it does not mean that you don't benefit from many of the 'innovations' that come from the kind of microstudy of ‘combined arms warfare' that come's from seow. The EXPERT Mode switcher option is the culmination of this and we think it makes for a much better il2 experience however you choose to play il2. (Please try it and see what you think.)
Better still, take the plunge and get involved in some seow events themselves.
If you like to fly offline campaigns, seow is as close as you can get to it online but all of those aircraft can have real pilots...and there are real people planning the naval and ground war, production and strategy and tasking your missions.... (It might even be you that does the tasking after a while.)

Installation Instructions for HistorySFX Version 5.0
1: Patch il2 Sturmovik 46 to Full 4.10.1 m
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detail : The HSFX 5.0, requires an install of Il-2 Sturmovik 1946, plus Patches 4.08 and 4.09 4.10 & 4.10.1.
No other previous Patches are needed. Version 5.0 includes all the HSFX developments from the beginning, plus the new content of version 5.0.
For user's with previous versions of The HSFX installed, the Version 5.0 Installer will replace the previous versions mods & files folders if present.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 : If you downloaded IL-2 (Digital version), instead of installing from the CD, get update Patch.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detail : If you have the digital download version of il2 Sturmovik 1946, and have not installed from the CD, you will need to download and apply this patch :-
SAS special patch :
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,1531.0.html
You should do this, before installing HSFX V 5.0.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Download the Installer files.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detail : The Version 5.0 Installer has been split into multiple 650 mb. Files. This has been done to reduce the possibility of file corruption when downloading. Also if a downloaded file is found to be corrupt, it reduces the size of the file that you must re-download.
The files to be downloaded are ;
HSFX_Version_5_0.EXE - 650 Mb.
HSFX_Version_5_0.W02 - 650 Mb.
HSFX_Version_5_0.W03 - 609 Mb.
Part2_Ver_5.EXE - 650 Mb.
Part2_Ver_5.W02 - 650 Mb.
Part2_Ver_5.W03 - 650 Mb.
Part2_Ver_5.W04 - 34 Mb.
You will need to place all seven files in one folder to run the installer, as they are in actuality one large file.
A small utility program, to calculate "hash sums" to verify the file downloaded, can be downloaded at - http://www.slavasoft.com/hashcalc/index.htm
Each of the files can be downloaded via the links below (links updated June 3, 2009) ;
The hash sums, used to check for a corrupted download, for this file are ;
MD5 -
CRC32 -
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Point the HSFX v5 installer at your il2 Sturmovik 46 Installation directory and click Install.
The installation itself takes up to about 5 minutes depending upon your PC.
You do not need to manually activate the Part2 exe. This is utilised automatically as part of the install process.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5: Look on your desktop or in the il2 Sturmovik 46 folder for JGSME.exe
In JGSME you will see several options on the left. The important one is to enable is the
HSFX HISTORY MOD
(apply it so that it moves from the Left window to the Right)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intention
This is a ‘unified’ set of additions.
Providing all players use the same it is possible to play on servers with Checkruntime =2 enabled. So that we have security and also know that others are playing with similar set up.
IF you download & add other components or in other ways alter the content of your own install you will quickly no longer have an identical install to others (unless you are very systematic about it with your own installers etc.) and you will loose the ability to join missions there UNLESS you know what you are doing and can disable your additions when required.
If you play offline this makes no difference whatsoever anyway.
This remains a WIP and if you notice anything that it may be possible for us to improve or incorporate, please post on the relevant forum.
Our emphasis and focus is on WWII and close thereto, including 'everything but the kitchen sink' is certainly another approach (more valid in the early days) but there is a point when you have to define what it is that you do. If you try and be 'all things to all men' you generally achieve none of those things.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Languages:-
(you can get some different GUI languages now from AAS without affecting compatibility if you wish, so if you
wish to see menus in another language look around here :- index.php )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Readme’s detailed readme’s by the authors are contained in a new
HSFX V5 Tools & Read me's folder created during the installation in the il2 root folder.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sound: -
This is a hybrid system but is most heavily based upon Tiger Sounds II, although very heavily streamlined, reduced and optimised to work Ok using default settings and Hardware acceleration. The engine sample sets are now composed of a larger number of (smaller) samples so the engine state/rev bands are far more differentiated than before. These Samples were mostly Tigers but reduced to 2s loops, which is the il2 default.
Tiger introduced a couple of great innovations: -
In game it is to set distance restrictions for external sounds and this helps to stop 'Sound radar'. You are unlikely to hear an enemy aircraft unless it is very close.
A fundamental problem with a flightsim is that you don't experience the same kind of feedback that a real pilot does. Its impossible obviously to recreate this, however sound can be used more effectively to do this than it has been so there has been a conscious effort also to expand upon this aspect with new sounds for new functions and more Stress and G force related sound cues.
Huge thanks to Tiger and the original team (Josse coding ?) that made TigerII sounds. (and RollnLoop for his input also with us in relation to this a while ago). Also to Freddie for the breathing effect and some of the extra G cues.
Note:- In cockpit sound may at first be pretty loud if you are using settings from a prior installation of HSFX. Turn down the general sound volume a little and all will be good.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics: -
Recommended that you enable S3TC compression in your graphics card setup.
Launch il2 Setup, select Video tab, Choose Custom. Check ARB texture compression box and then select S3TC compression.
The mods have increased the amount of textures and their sizes considerably and this really helps those with older PC’s and graphics cards to avoid a CTD during mission loading or game launch on a few of the very texture rich new maps.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JGSME SWITCHER OPTIONS
HSFX v4 gives the user a few options depending upon preferences and Hardware:-.
We have used JGSME to do this as its simple.
To turn ON any of the below options :-
start JGSME
and move from LEFT to RIGHT :-
To turn OFF any of the below options :-
start JGSME
and move from RIGHT to LEFT :-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPERT mode
Highly recommended that you try this.
Developed for SEOW but the same changes should be universally applicable.
This Switcher Option activates Aachens FULL FM's. (see full explanation below)
Custom ini's (see below, Ground and Ships) reduce load and we believe, make the ground and naval war more realistic. Tanks, Guns & Infantry perform more efficiently and historically in relation to each other. Outcomes of Naval battles are more as you might expect them to be, naval AAA uses effective rather than maximum ranges.
Ranges are usually less and reload times longer, so you can have more objects in missions or you can turn up the RoF settings.
The blast radius of larger Kilo bombs are equalized out so that IJN and Soviet bombs display similar blast characteristics to LW ordinance. (Not sure why they should have been so radically different, the power is similar, but the blast radius were radically different for the same amount of explosives.
Because this is its own unique net version we were able to enable a few extra opening Canopies for this option as the incompatibility that creates the smoke bug should not arise.
This is NOT compatible online with the Stock Game (you will not be able to join), it effectively turns HSFX into its own Net version. You will not be able to join Stock games with it, and stock games will not be able to join you. Host and Client both have to be running this Option with its own HSFXv5.0 net version to use this compatibly Online.
This Option allows us to explore a lot of new options without compromising the stock game, Oleg's FM's or the online community.
( note : If you drag the buttons or other files from this into your stock game version piecemeal because you like a specific FM etc, you will get a no boot.
This is deliberate. )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perfect Map Textures
Beautifully retextured versions of most of il2’s default maps by VpMedia, LAL_Rhone and Gilb57 (winter Textures) and Slade (Russian maps).
These look lovely. And if your PC can run il2 in ‘Perfect’ graphics mode, it is definitely worth using this option.
If you use this option and don’t play in ‘perfect’ you may possibly experience imperfections & little glitches on some of the maps.
If you don’t use this option your game remains compatible with others who are running the textures but the older maps will look ordinary.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6do MOD for TIR users (Shr)
Allows 6do in il2.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carrier_Takeoff_5_4 (fireball)
HSFX5.0 see's the very welcome return of Fireball with a comprehensive update of what many regard as one of the 'must have' mods.
See read me
This alters the carrier line up sequence and allows a lot more aircraft to start on carrier decks.
This is separate from the Catapult aspect which is always on whether this is enabled or not. (It’s a mission file parameter and so is very highly tuneable anyhow)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stock 4.10.1:-
In normal circumstances just disabling all of the options with JSGME (moving to the left side) should return you to stock 4.10.1
If all else fails try this Switcher. (NoCD exe included).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tiger's Flybys
Included but in a very stripped down form. These can be pretty spectacular when watching tracks or in external views (press F3) for Flyby.
For sound synchronisation of flyby's set your config.ini to:-
[HookViewFly Config]
timeFirstStep=2.9
deltaZ=60.0
For maximum sound quality with flybyes you could add Tiger's original loose Flyby samples. (only the flybye samples & presets, the code etc is already contained in HSFX )
(For CRT checks, then the client and host must both have flyby's set to the same setting with jsgme (ON for all or OFF for all) It is better to leave as much as possible optional. Flyby's are great for offline, watching tracks or making movies, but they do use resources and some people have no use for them (or may not like them.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sounds Default:- (SAS_Cirx)
Reverts il2 to Stock sound. But still allows you to use all of the other content and should be CRT compliant
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effects Low:-
Reverts il2 to simple stock graphical effects (smoke, explosions etc )
Hakenkruz enabler (Brigstock)
Simple and self explanatory switcher option so as not to offend or upset in some countries.
Content in HSFX V 5.0
Game performance increases
SFS Files
I think we demonstrated pretty conclusively the advantages of this format in V4 +.
We continue to expand upon our previous work because there is no need to 're-invent the wheel' is there. The last two years during which many many of you have used hfx SFS archives, in one pack or another, speak louder than words.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naming convention:-
Non Stock Aircraft/Ships/Vehicles/ Loadouts are all denoted by a *
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GUI changes
Old style IL2 Sturmovik game menus. (Fly Zo)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
128 Player co-op (FC)
This version includes the code that allows up to 128 players in an on-line coop mission. The actual number of players that play without excessive lag and micro pauses, etc. depends on the performance of the server that is hosting the coop.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hidden Co-op Slots 2.4 (UF_Fernand)
Hidden Coop Slots 2.5:- UF_Fernand
Add the following to the bottom of the mission file. (Server is important if the missions run on dedicated co-op servers.)
The other names should be relevant to the squads/groups that fly the mission.
[MODSLOT]
Server 29Sqn R IAF (etc etc red groups)
JG27 22GCT B 6s (etc etc Blue groups)
Players without any of the above will not see any aircraft at all.
Missions without [MODSLOT] etc at the bottom are not affected by this at all.
Look at the 4.10 DF read me for the conf.ini server parameters available in 4.10 to disable various items in the in game Score table (eg Aircraft players are flying etc)
Bomb Bay Doors + 2.5 (Fireball)
Rewritten by Fireball for 4.10.1 & HSFX.
Players need to assign a key to open their Bombay doors and also can control a number of other functions not usually available.
Also adds a variety of new Server defined views (which are incredibly useful.)
This version incorporates Fireballs HUD alterations also so that you can define speed and altitude units that you see displayed initially with an conf.ini entry.
See enclosed HSFX_BombBayDoors_for_4.10_README.txt.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ai V3.0 (Certificate)
An improved version of the AI routines for the AI controlled aircraft.
This has had to be modified a fair amount to incorporate 4.10 routines and also HSFX specific aircraft but we hope it does justice to Certificates work.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carrier Catapult Mod (Fireball)
See Carrier Takeoff read me.
You don't need to have CTO on for this to work, it is there by default.
But you have to add the correct parameters to your mission file to enable this.
Taxi forward to the catapult track. Put chocks in and you will snap to the catapult track.
Throttle up and deploy flaps etc, when you release chocks the catapult will fire you forward.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radar for Ground and ships (Maraz, Manu & 4Shades)
See SEOW read me. This is a seow specific feature.
This allows placement and operation of working Radar networks within missions.
For ground networks you have to place Radar chain High and Radar Chain Low stationary objects or ships with working Radar, ( all Carriers, Cruisers and Battleships + later US Destroyers) into the mission and then the
RadarControl SEOW (Early Type)
or
RadarControl Late SEOW (this type is more accurate 44 +)
for the Host.
Data is then output to the Radar display pages of the SEOW mission planner.
(Contact us for extra details, several folders also have to be manually added.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ship damage Logging (Shades , FC, Mrz, Fireball)
Outputs damage to ships and new speeds due to damage to the Log file so that SEOW can parse cumulative ship damage & Speed reductions between missions.
(seow feature...although any other 3rd party system could make use of this with a simple eventlog parser. Damage can be applied between missions then reflected later with a simple reduction in speed and ROF )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Factory Plates
New invisible circular ‘plates’ to represent factories. (show up in red in the FMB to help positioning but are invisible in missions) These also output cumulative damage to the Log file for SEOW to parse .
Strategic damage no longer need be defined by ‘brittle’ point targets (trucks) ...you will have to identify target areas realistically and then drop large quantities of bombs on them to destroy them !.
These work fine in any context, the large ones are Tough ! (An extra seow feature is that they do output damage to the event.log, although any other 3rd party system could make use of this also with a simple eventlog parser. )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wingtip smoke altitude (fireball)
Toggling Wingtip smoke now also outputs Altitude to the eventlog.
This is to make the reconnaissance system in seow more realistic, but again any parser based system could utilise it.
Creditation ( a foreword) :-
This in some cases is becoming EXTREMELY complicated.
Many things by now have involved large numbers of people over time and the improvements have been incremental. What we may now have in many cases bears absolutely no resemblance at all to earlier incarnations, however those involved early in the process were integral to where the whole thing has got to now, take them out of that progression and there may well not have been a 'now'.
So if possible we will try to list those involved in the progression as well as those directly involved with the most recent versions of some work.
Also over time, tracking who did what and where everything came from becomes very complicated. So apologies to anyone that got overlooked, it certainly is in no way deliberate. We try to give full credit to the best of our knowledge. We have also included specific read me's etc wherever it is stipulated or sensible to do so in folder created within the il2 root directory.
We do not in any way claim anybodies work, what we have done is simply to put it into its native format, update and make compatible with new il2 versions as/when necessary and make it freely available again in this new format.
Why do we do this ? Because the squads, groups and individuals that are involved in many of the events that we like to participate in do not consist of people that are necessarily that technically adept with mod installation. It would have been inconceivable to get everybody to the same point to play the kind of events that we have played unless we had done this. Some of the features included now also are pretty complex and are reliant upon a combination of other things being present. Not all that many people would be able to do this. Il2 'modding' is becoming more complex and more specialists.
The spin off is that this may also be useful to many others who do not have time or wish to learn about the 'mod' world but enjoy all the benefits of that world.
In many ways the same can be said about SEOW. Because you don't play it does not mean that you don't benefit from many of the 'innovations' that come from the kind of microstudy of ‘combined arms warfare' that come's from seow. The EXPERT Mode switcher option is the culmination of this and we think it makes for a much better il2 experience however you choose to play il2. (Please try it and see what you think.)
Better still, take the plunge and get involved in some seow events themselves.
If you like to fly offline campaigns, seow is as close as you can get to it online but all of those aircraft can have real pilots...and there are real people planning the naval and ground war, production and strategy and tasking your missions.... (It might even be you that does the tasking after a while.)
