[Fireskull]

Thanks Fireskull for a better explanation...I found I needed to "install" all the new folders in a separate folder & then "paste" them into the game main folder manually.This may be just a fault of my install in that the usual point installation to my game folder didn't seem to work ( I know it should have - I have no explanation..) Having said all that this is an amazing patch improvement.In initial run thru I notice nice improvements in map textures & sounds...terrific default effects as well...so much so that i recommend you go slowly with importing "old" effects,because a.) you might not need them & b.) they may cause conflicts. As a PM response so aptly commented "Its been out only one day & you are already adding mods to it?"
I did need to add widescreen4.10 for sure & will add a few planes for campaigns I started elsewhere- this will be the place for my default game play.So much good here its hard to know where to start!
On the small problem side ( & this just might be me) egine start exhaust when viewed from insude the plane ( esp in one of the lovely perfect 109's) is very horsey looking...very much like smoke in original Il-2 from way back.I'll take a screenshot if anyone wants to see this effect.
In any case- big thumbs up!

Dietz,

Yeah, me too: HSFX 5.0 will be my main base for mods and flying, though I will try 1 or 2 other mod pack releases.

Sometimes there is more than one way to install a mod, as I am sure that you know. Did you do the hash count? That is very important.

Anyway...

Your glowing report on how you like it makes me more eager to explore this mega mod pack.
