I've installed the 0.8(previously had the 0.6, deleted the presets and samples folders, put the new ones in the files folder, replaced the wrapper, the buttons file, the preload file and the il-2 exe) and it crashes at 60%. Any suggestions?
OK, there is no ==>files.SFS
Yes you need files.sfs. Install mod activator first. Before start i recommended off all others mods.
If you have old version, delete presets, samples and buttons file. Or off them (if it old SFX).
If i put the old buttons file(from sfx 0.6) the game starts, but i think the sounds are the old ones. So there is something wrong with the buttons file in my case(obviously there isn't second file, because when I change to the sfx 0.6 button file it works).
Hmmm. i think yes... Don't forgot about possible buttons file conflicts.
OK, this is what I'll try:
1. Move my existing presets, samples folders, and buttons file to temporary backup folder. (From whatever version it is I have)
2. Download and install latest version of mod activator.
3. Install SFX 8.
Will see if this works...
Ok some explain how it need install if you have old version, like soundmod etc..... Most simple variant.....
Rename "Files" folder in something like "Files1" and "filelist.txt" something like "filelist1.txt". Check Mods folder, off all mods. Check il2 on start. If il2 start ok - unpack SFX mod to game folder. Possible game return in russian, copy directory i18 from files1 folder in mod folder.
P.S. i highly recommended learn how works mods, it help you find some mistakes hurry.
There is a conflict somewhere between this and my other mods and I can't find it.
I got the new sounds, but only if game reverts to 4.08, is in Russian language, and none of the other mods are enabled :lol:
As soon as I try to "on" my other mods, it will CTD. If I replace with my original buttons file, then the game will launch. But only with default sounds and no weapons sounds.
I really don't want to go through the process of starting from scratch with a fresh install, but I see no other option if I want these new engine sounds.
Okay, I use the 0.6 SFX sound mod, I renamed the Files folder Files.bak, and made a new Files folder, installed the files and also the new buttons file. The sound mod works great, I love the Corsair sounds, the P-47 sounds like crap. The Mustang also sounds anemic (whimpy). P-39, P38 are great too. But in the end I uninstalled the sound mod because all of my graphics are in Russian, which I do not speak, read or understand in the least. Is there some way to fix this issue?..... Otherwise I will have to let a great sound mod gather dust in the recycle bin.
