************************************

This is a release of a green screen map for IL-2 4.10(1); this may be useful tool for screen shot and video capture purposes.
This mod contains two green screen maps; one for land based planes and one for water based float planes.
The green screen maps are available in the Quick Mission builder, Multiplayer Dogfight mode and in the Full Mission Builder.

==============================
    REQUIREMENTS
==============================
- IL-46
- patched to 4.10 / 4.101
- SAS mod activated

Recommended mods for smooth take off and landings:
- Zuti_CTO_Friction_GAttack


==============================
    INSTALLATION
==============================
1 --> Open the Greenscreen410_v3.rar (if you are not sure, use 7zip or WinRar)

2 --> Extract the "#SAS" + "Missions" + "Quicks" folders into your IL-2 Sturmovik game folder
      (click "yes" to overwrite if asked (though this mod does not alter any stock files).

3 --> Browse to [your IL-2 Sturmovik folder] \#SAS\MAPMODS\Maps
      and open the "all.ini" (if you are not sure, use notepad) and add the two lines below:

Greenscreen           Greenscreen/load.ini
Greenscreen_Water     Greenscreen/load_w.ini


4 --> Browse to [your IL-2 Sturmovik folder]\Quicks
      and add the two lines below to the "QMBMaps.ini" :

Greenscreen
Greenscreen_Water

5 --> Done. Now the greenscreen maps should be available to play with in the quick mission builder, multiplayer (dogfight) and of course ready to edit in the Full Mission builder.


==============================
    NOTES
==============================
Best settings: time set to 12:00 and no clouds.
The distance haze remains present, I have tried everything I could think of but I was unable to get rid of it, so you are somewhat limited with the angles you can use.


==============================
    DISCLAIMER
==============================
This is work of an enthusiastic but rather thick amateur modder. Use at your own risk, bla bla..
My sole intention is to add a useful feature to your IL-2 Sturmovik game.

Wishing you happy screen shooting in the green skies :-)

I'd really like to know where you're getting the background pics from

I'd really like to know where you're getting the background pics from 

Heheh, all background are in-game mate    Hmm, I wish.
The background pics are from my personal photo collection. If you are really, really interested in the locations:
#1 - Dunes of the Dutch island of Schiermonnikoog (near the remains of the ww2 German Wasserman radar site)
#2 - Duxford, UK, airshow 2004
#3-  Water from the amazing Poole Harbour, Dorset, UK
#4 - Saline grasslands, Schiermonnikoog island

Thanks mate   
I don't know if this topic should be moved, technically it is a map and should be installed as such. I see your point though as it could be considered more of a 'modworxx' type of mod instead of a conventional map.

[Verhängnis]

I can't get it working, I placed the map files in my #SAS folder and Added the lines to all.ini but in my install I didn't have a QMBMaps.ini so I made one and added the 2 lines and it showed it QMB menu but it wouldn't load, I tried the FMB and my game crashed.

Make sure you have your quick missions folder set up correctly.
So in your [il-2 folder] Missions/Quick/ there should be the "Greenscreen" folder containing: GreenscreenBlueNoneN00.mis and so on.

It seems though (as you get an load.ini error) that the load.ini point at files which aren't in place, so check in your #SAS folder/mapmods/maps folder if the Greenscreen folder is present containing: actors.static and so on.
Hope this helps.

[Verhängnis]

Well they are in the right places that's for sure.

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Main Install~4.101\Missions\Quick\Greenscreen
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Main Install~4.101\Quicks
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Main Install~4.101\#SAS\MAPMODS\Maps\Greenscreen

Thats where all the files went when I installed it.

[michel_boonstra1974]

And have you copied the Greenscreen's  "_Tex" folder to your C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Main Install~4.101\#SAS\MAPMODS\Maps\
Also, make sure no previous Greenscreen version (4.09) files are left in your 4.101 game.

I tried to reproduce your issue but have no errors here.

[Verhängnis]

Yes also in the right place. 
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Main Install~4.101\#SAS\MAPMODS\Maps\_Tex\Greenscreen

[michel_boonstra1974]

Sorry that it is not working for you Verhaengnis, I've been playing around here trying to see what might cause your problem but I haven't got a clue.
Sure you have installed the GreenScreen_410_v3 version and removed all left overs from the previous versions right?
Otherwise I don't know what's going wrong there.

[Verhängnis]

I definitely have the 4.10 version and I never had the previous version so there should be no conflict.
