..meanwhile, in the IL-2 1946 MOD R&D labs...

They need to unite the clans! Unite them!

I've always played vanilla IL2 46, I love all the mods and they look and sound great but I wish there was just one giant mod install where it has the best of everything. Until they do that I'll stick with Cliffs of Dover.

Thing is the installers have a jgsme for #UP# but not HSFX 6. HSFX is only in folders so I can't add it as a jgsme installer. If there is a jgsme installer version for HSFX 6 I'd appreciate it (as-well as the viewing distance mod at the other forum!).

Would love to get these effects in HSFX 6. Cheers, MP

Ghegis Khan style! Indeed. One of the reasons I was glad to see the back of IL2:1946 fb + mods was you had to have at least 3 installs of the game with different mods... Its stupid...

It's been tried.

Too many egos the size of Siberia.

Ya, not so much.
Wonderful thing about so many mods, there are tons of options.
'Best' is different for everybody. There is no way to make one big pack of the best stuff because the best stuff is different for every single user.

But seriously, what is so hard about adding a modact? Nothing. What about downloading and dropping certain mods into said modact? Nothing.

How about adding a pack like DBW, HSFX, or UP? Nothing. It just boils down to how much your willing to put into reading/how lazy you are.

And when you've installed all those different mods you have to find a server that has enough players in it to make the mods worthwhile.... but so many mods and options have fragmented the online player base into splinters.

Then play stock.
Modact is primarily for offliners, end of story.

Really simple:
Online=HSFX/UP
Offline=DBW/Modact

Of course any can be used in whatever way you wish, but above are the packs and their target audiences.

Nothing would fragment the IL2 "Community" more than limiting it to the stock game. I dare say it would be long dead by now.

Point is there are options out there for any and everyone. Make an informed decision instead of just being lazy and bitching about why no one plays an ugly, cartoonish decade old game anymore.

I have and did...Have had mods installed since day one, still came over to CoD...from day one also

But I still see 46 as a bird with far too much make up on, yea sure she looks nice and you would do the deed but when you get down to the nitty gritty and take of the make up?

However..The newest Mods are sweet...I installed the gurners FX pack (think thats what it was called) and it has Sound bugs in it when in cockpit, its these things and ive had plenty of them that put me off it all.

Bird? Wearing makeup?
I just had a mental picture of bigbird dressed as a street walker.

If you understood the file layouts and mod folder layouts properly (and what impact the respective files have on the game) these issues are fairly easy to iron out at this stage of 1946 modding.
I just fired up my old 4.09 modded install, and everything is faultless.

Overmodding (installing say five effects mods on top of eachother) is what leads to small bugs.
