Installation Directions:

IMPORTANT!
READ THIS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING! SPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NEW TO MAPMODS:

This map have been tested with both IL2 1946 4.10 SAS Moddact 2.5 version and 4.09 UP.2.01 versions.
You need virtually all the objects available for modded maps, so best way is to install Boomers objectpack.
It has all objects in one pack:

00_Objects.7z ----------(122.03 mb)
http://www.mediafire.com/?rscgji00b44alh8

00_Objects_I.7z -------(132.72 mb)
http://www.mediafire.com/?jh00hd8dyyd6l8g

00_Objects_II.7z -----(142.23 mb)
http://www.mediafire.com/?n52esjp8myxaeu6

00_Objects_III.7z ----(83.57 mb)
http://www.mediafire.com/?th7eh4f68874egr

00_Objects_STD.7z ---(61.1 kb)
http://www.mediafire.com/?ro6pj73joy461v2

Read the installation directions carefully!!!
You will also need Friction Mod:

Download (v0.3):
http://www.mediafire.com/?5bppduzj8w4g5yh

Next:
Exctract downloaded map File and copy MODS folder to your game/MODS/ Owervrite when asked.


This file includes 2 folders:
1) _Text folder, which has all the textures for the map It goes here------>(/MODS/MAPMODS/Maps/_TEXT)
2) ag_Kt_Karelia folder, which is the actual mapfile It goes here------>(/MODS/MAPMODS/Maps/ag_Kt_Karelia)

Check that you find them in right places, othewise the map will not work!!

Add these lines Copy/paste) to MODS/MAPMODS/Maps/all.ini file:

ag_kt_Karelia ag_kt_Karelia/load.ini
ag_kt_Karelia_autumn ag_kt_Karelia/load_autumn.ini
ag_kt_Karelia_winter ag_kt_Karelia/load_winter.ini
ag_kt_Karelia_winterH ag_kt_Karelia/load_winter_ice.ini

Notice: This map is huge and it takes long time to open, Be patient. But if the map does not load and you get load.ini error message, you are missing textures. If you can open the map in FMB (takes a long time), but can't save the mission, you are missing objects.
Once again:
This is so big map that it takes few minutes to load. I have tested it with my very average rigs:
Athlon 5400 2x and 4gig RAM and nvidia 8800 GT+win 7
and Acer Aspire 5738DZG laptop with 2.1 pentium processor and 4 gigs of RAM abd ATI mobility Radeon HD 4570 512.
Map works flawlessy with these machines.

Team International Brigade hopes you enjoy the map!
I will post mediafire link later today too!

VERSION 1.0:
Here is the latest Version 1.0:
http://www.gamefront.com/files/20154746 ... ia_1.0.rar
or:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ddfaaqxy95odzh1

Just replace old files with this new one.
Several bugs fixed:
-Airfield waypints corrected
-New texts-file by Jami ( Thank you)
-3 new airfields added
- trees removed from rivers (not all)
This version uses only 1 actors.static file. It looks best only with perfect settings. If you use excellent settings, there will be green treerows on wintermap..
Those who can't run perfect, might want to use old version of the map. It looks better for old PC
This map will be edited by a members of Finnish squadron and Jami. They are aiming for Historical accuracy. It will most certainly take some time, though.
Team International Brigade releases this map as it is now. Teams has some new plans....
Known bugs:
Some green bushes (kust) on wintermaps..
Trees on water (floods and beavers)
We hope that you have fun flying on Karelian skies!!

Thanks Kap (+team) for your great work.

I downloaded and installed it and all the stuff that is needed according to your information.
After installation the map opens as it should in FMB, but saving a mission won't work. I've met this problem also with Zuti's MDS, but I got it solved, so I thought if I've done something wrong with Zutis Friction Mod.

I tried to install ZFM into MODS folder and then into JSGMEMODS folder and activated it in JSGME, but the result was all the same: when exiting FMB I'm asked "Would you like to save the new mission file?". When I answer "Yes" nothing happens but the same question appears again and again. When I choose "No" I can exit FMB, but nothing has been saved. So, what should I do ?????? What went wrong ?????

The map is "a dream come true" and I'd like to start making my Tiiksjarvi campaign, but ...

You are missing some objects. Do you have boomers pack installed?
Try to hit + and you will see what causes the error.
I have Friction mod in my MODS folder and it works. I can quarantee that.
Just pe patient and try again.
Others have the map working, so it wil work for you too.
If other maps work allright, it can't be MDS problem.
Try that first.
Then Download and ínstall the LATEST version of Boomers object pack.
And check that you have the latest version of Zutis friction mod.
What version of ILs you are using+
Here is a link to Friction mod:

Download CTO version (IL2 4.09):

Download STAND ALONE version (IL2 4.10):

I have UP 2.01. I downloaded the Boomers packs according to your link (hope it is the latest). I have 1525 objects in my list. I've installed Zutis Zuti_AirfieldsFriction_STD_v0.4 and 01_Zuti_CTO_Friction_GAttack and tried them both. The last line with tab+shift is "timeout 60000 file il2stab.rcu".

All other maps work fine. What should I try next???

You don't have all the objects:

You need to copy static.ini file from 00_STD/com/maddox/il2/objects/static.ini
to
MODS/STD/com/maddox/il2/objects/static.ini
Back up original static.ini file before !!!
Then IL2 engine can find all the new objects!
static.ini file is a list of objects´.

You can then try to disable STD_v0.4 mod by renaming it .
I have 01_Zuti_CTO_Friction_GAttack and it is working with my UP2.01.
Hope that this helps.
I think the il2stab line is for IL2 Stab program...It is not an error message, I believe.

Very nice map, indeed !
I installed it successfully in my HSFX4.1 +SAS modact install.
Can bear the loading time.
I have some questions, just being curious, beginning map-maker :
1. why is actors.static file so large ?
2. which of the presentation of Leningrad is closer to reality : yours, or the stock one at FinnsGulf map ?
Especially Kronstadt ? They seem to be very different.

I did use Google Eart as a reference for Leningrad,.. But i did also used artistic freedom. So IMO ours look better.
Actors.static is so huge because the map is so big... We did i in purpose. Even with this amount of objects, the map loos really empty...
Kronstandt is guite realistic but in real it has more variations of houses of course.

@Uzin: You can still open the map with 4gig. exe in mapbuilders FMB, if you want to study it.

Thx, kapteeni,
ever ready to learn at masters !
Unfortunately, I have only 2 GB RAM at WinXP home ed., so something is not yet available to me.
Am going to buy more RAM.

EDIT:
Just my 2pence - aerial photo of Kronstadt in WWII:
