thats because this was made for offline players who would like to add mods to UP2.01, and would therefore have no need to switch to HSFX. But as you said, disabling the mods folder will solve that. There is no conflict, this mod folder was simply made for UP2.01, and so it's air ini contains a ton more planes than is in HSFX for SEOW. Hence, crash.

Many thanks for the explanation, there is still much for me to learn,   :)  and with the help of everyone here it is an enjoyable experience. I understand now you mention the offline parameter that it makes sense.

I only intend to use UP 2.01 anyway as 99.9% of my flying is offline, I have tried online but the group I fly with [very occasionally] have trouble working out each other’s real world time zone so it is not a regular occurrence.

Again many thanks to you and all here, who have proved to me that at 63 years old I am still enjoying learning new things. Keep up the great work and coming up with all these great Mods.

Regards
Peter

This is a great addition.

Is there a way to create a switcher housed in a JSGME Mod to place the "-" in front of an active MODS folder so that with one installation you can fly online? I believe someone achieved it recently by changing the name of the MODS folder to "mods" and placing a new "MODS" folder (housing STD, buttons etc.) within a "Files" folder in a JSGME housed Mod. Does that make sense to anyone?

I know it is better to have a separate online install....but I was just wondering if it could be done and it may prove useful to those with limited disk space.

Edit:- I found the ref. re the creation of a JSGME entry for the above:-
http://allaircraftsimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=106&t=28228&start=15#p330539


Using the above method I have tested it and found it to work well with the SAS Modact/folder for UP201 housed inside a JSGME Mod as indicated in the picture below.

I have renamed the "MODS" folder to "mods" as in the post above but I'm still not sure of the necessity for this. The original "MODS" folder in the root directory is replaced with a "mods" folder.

To check CRT=2, I have logged into WOP and it is fine with the JSGME "mods" folder  de-activated.

So basically you can have the benefit of UP201 clean install for online use and additions of SAS aircraft, buttons etc for offline use all in one installation and controlled through JSGME.....

But I guess many of you knew that anyway!

Can't get SAS mods to work in UP 2.01?
« Reply #19 on: November 30, 2010, 10:30:15 PM »

I'm using UP 2.01, and I loaded the SAS modact for UP2.01 using the link.  After following the instructions, ie making a MODS folder in the game directory, I had a CTD at 70%, which was due to the presence of the 'MODS' folder.  After deleting MODS, I tried again using the "'mods' embedded in the JGSME folder" idea that was previously posted.  I enabled the 'mods' using the JGSME program.  While this allowed the game to run ok, it did not enable the SAS mods I had loaded (a map and the Ki-44 Shoki).

At this point, I'm starting to run out of ideas.  I'm new to this, so I'm sure I'm missing something basic out of ignorance.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

I do not understand very well how can this happen unless your MODs folder had already a few mods added.

Most mods are meant to go in MODS folder and consequently will NOT work if installed in jsgme.

In any case, all you need is a bit of patience before trying to install everything, do some study and try understand how the game structure works, study all links provided here and you'll have a better picture:
