Thank You, Fireskull, for this appreciation. ( sorry about ...kk: meant that I struck the wrong keys. LOL ). :roll:
Update about: using SAS 3.6 in a UP3 install:
1- You can use UP3 if you activate it in JSGME and choose ULTRAPACK 3 in the selector itself.
2- you must DEACTIVATE UP3, can activate DiffFM_4.101m, select SAS Modact3 to use SAS Modact 3.06 as if it was a separate game.
3- you can do the Weird thing that I did, wich is to "upped" my SAS install, because it seems to work better then the UP3 side, itself.
( this involved letting UP3 activated, and use all of UP ini files from #UP# into #SAS file and mount all of UP.sfs files by adding proper lines
in the SAS3.06 .rc file. Tricky, but it can be done. This gets my Hurricane cockpits to open-up, ha!).
However, one BIG point of UP3, revealed in Dark Blue World post at SAS, is that UP3 is not MOD friendly.
My findings ( after trying everything for 3 days ), are that DiffFM_4.101m just doesn't work with UP3, when UP3 is activated.
The above mods, DH-89 and AT-6 will only work in option 2. Or in a complete separate install. If you go into WEIRD option 3, there is no turning back,
and you cannot use DiffFM any more. That is because air.ini ( from #UP#, transferred in #SAS ), will crash the game if UP3 is not activated. Same goes
for all the other .ini, and the all.ini for maps... For me it is just an interim thing, till FULL-UP3 or getting everything I want, from Dark Blue World.
( Also I can still use SAS modact 3.06 in a separately installed game, but then I don't have the UP3 package for it. )
( I must have used the external FULL COPY of my game at least a dozen times, since things can get very confusing when a simple test go wrong... )
4- Dark Blue World wants itself an UP+SAS joint effort to create an OFFLINE ultimate modding/modded game, leaving aside UP3, to be the ONLINE
compatible game, hence a not to be so much modded game...

- The GOOD NEWS is: "DBW" comes with a the brand new DiffFM I was hoping for! Summer time! Pool time! Ready to plunge into the Dark Blue World ?
:OO :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
