IL-2 Newbie Guide
#19

Fireskull Wrote:Hi,


There are several ways to add mods with or without a mod pack, depending much on the mod and what patch is the base, too.

For adding an invidual mod, I recommend contacting the modder who created the mod, looking at his thread where the mod was published, and making a strategy based on the types of mods which you want to add. Many mods are not compatible across different IL-2 patches, though some are cross-compatible.


Here are some examples which show a wide diversity of methods for adding mods:

1) This thread gives very basic methods of adding mods:
HSFX 5.0 & 5.01 Simple Mod Guide
http://allaircraftsimulations.com/forum ... 06&t=31573

Yes: I understand that you are asking about adding individual mods and not mod packs, but many times the target area to place the mod is the same whether with or without a mod pack - some exceptions, of course.

2) Another system of adding mods is the Mods Activator ( ModAct for short )

For ModActs, take a look here at these examples:
Free IL2 Modding Forum - Mod Activator for 4.11 - Diff FM for 4.11 - TBD Flyable 4.11
http://allaircraftsimulations.com/forum ... 89&t=33293

Special Aircraft Service Forum - IL-2 1946 4.09 SAS Custom Install Modding Guide
http://allaircraftsimulations.com/forum ... 84&t=27664


Okay, so I showed here that there are a bunch of methods for adding mods. Many mods are for 4.09 or 4.10. Some are compatible across IL-2 patches, but many are not. IL-2 4.11 will have more mods available for it than exist for it now - coming soon - so keep that in mind, as well.

The bottom line ( pun intended Big Grin ) is that we need to know what mods for what patch do you seek and then we can take it from there. Big Grin

Thanks a lot...

I gave it a new try and installed UP-3 now... it worked!!! - don´t know, why it didn´t work earlier...

But the problem with the mod I wanted to get to work still exists. I wanted to install this Mod from Caldrail I think - CAL_Tarmac_Plates, it´s about having airfield-plates as additional objects, I think that would be very useful for all modders who want to build their own airfields... I´ve tried everything from your tips and anywhere else, it doesn´t work!

If I could use this as a suggestion for a new mod or getting the mod to work with UP-3 and 4.11... that would be very useful, it´s really a great mod and it worked earlier,
I really need airfield plates to make my own airfield! :wink:

Thanks anyway
