THIS Is a tutorial and not a request.OK, this is the last time I am going to write this all over again on how to install this if no one has read what I wrote before.
It is getting very tiring for me to have to write this all over again
I have installed this into the VP-Modpack which also uses the game version 4.12 - it is working good for my game.
As always , I suggest to read the instructions which come with each download, because it explains very easy how to install
these new mods. It is VERY EASY.
............................
The way I got these airplanes to fly good in the VP-modpack is simple - but also a bit trick and you must
take your time to do it... slowly.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS also as seen on that page -
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,20351.0.htmlIf you are using the VP-Modpack you will need
the version for game 4.12 ---------> Pack V 4.12.2 (ModAct 5.30)
...The link is on that page at the bottom.
DO NOT Use "Loadout Fixes by StefanSG" for the moment. These still need some fixing. You can use it later on
when you know better how to mod stuff.
.............
PAY ATTENTION because this takes time and you need to MOD your game personally.
It seems like ALOT of trouble n work- but if you want everything to look better and work better, you do it.
First make a folder outside of your game and you will place into it ALL of the files you will be SAVING from your VP-Modpack.
Its a "Save-Safe" in case something goes wrong , you will have all the old files saved to place back !
You will be using the windows
NOTEPAD alot to copy and save stuff, so use it.
Go to your VP-Modpack #SAS folder and copy the entire folder named STD
and save it outside of your game.
Copy ALL the files you see and save them ! - If something goes wrong you can go back !Do this NOW.
..........
Next,
you are going to open the files in E:\MAX2015\__IL2_1946_412\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\#SAS\STD\com\maddox\il2\objects
and you will see
Air.ini ,
Stationary and
Technics - open each file and make a search using notepad
for Fw-190 and Ta-152
and when you see these names you are going to write into those files the names of the new airplanes.
PLACE THEM IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER !
I will put here my personal VP-Modpack air,ini list for you to use as an example. I wrote the names in alphabetical order.
(use it if you wish)

Now for the technics and stationary ini files you must open and look at those files and search where each
of the old airplanes are written down. Place the new versions into them.
As seen in the package you downloaded of the Fw-190 series.
NEXT
go to your Weapons. ru files
inside the folder... E:\MAX2015\__IL2_1946_412\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\#SAS\STD\i18n
Copy what you see on the files from the download pack and paste them using notepad into this weapons file.
I suggest placing them next to the old airplane entries.
IF You take your time like I did, so things will work better, place all of these new entries into each files in
alphabetical order (as seen in the Air.ini - as posted above) and you will have them working perfectly. TAKE YOUR TIME and
place them correctly
All of the airplane-mods are already FREE, but it takes time for each person to install them correctly.
~In your VP-Modpack inside the folder #SAS you are going to make a new folder named
#00_Fw-190_FamilyPack_412inside this folder put all your New airplane from the Claymore package download .
This folder named
#00_Fw-190_FamilyPack_412 MUST come below 2 other IMPORTANT folders for PA_Jeronimo´s better fixes for
wheels and cowlings.
I named these 2 new mod folders with the names...
#00_3dFix_CowlingsEnginesProps_412#00_3dFix_Mod_Wheels_412.....
Inside each of these folders you will place into them the following MOD-Fixes you need !
This is IMPORTANT. YOU NEED THESE !Your new and old Fw-190 and Ta-152 series NEED these extra fixes ! They were made after the Claymore pack was made available,
so they have EXTRA FIXES !!!
--------------------------------------- USE THEM !! --------------------------------
#00_3dFix_CowlingsEnginesProps_412 -- download here --
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,25142.0.html#00_3dFix_Mod_Wheels_412 -- download here --
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,34533.0.htmlIn this download you need to downlad the Focke wulf fixes seperately , or do like everyone has been doing and
download ALL of the airplane fixes and put these mod-wheel-fixes into this folder I named #00_3dFix_Mod_Wheels_412
When this is done...
... make another special download -
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,51272.0.htmlDownload my recent retextures as in my post and place them into the 2 PA_Jeronimos folders as you see them.
This will upgrade your new wheels to an even better detailed look. Trust me, you will like to see what I have done for
all of these new Fw-190 series. You may overwrite all the fles inside the PA_Jeronimos folder with my versions.
Just overwrite and you will be ok. They are NEW skins.
........................................
This is how my game folders look like a few weeks ago.
This is only my personal game set up and you do not have to do this to yours.
Each game is different according to each persons needs and the mods installed. I left most of the VP-Moppack folder structure
as was from the start, as this is a great setup and makes the mod-content installed work very nice.
Some folders you see have a "-" (minus sign) on them because I am doing some tests with the the files inside and painting new skins,
so those mods are on stand-by, until I activate them by removing the "-" minus sign. But they are working with this VP-Modpack.
If you look closely at the screenshot you will see that the FW-190 series family pack from Claymore are placed below the
PA_Jeronimos Better cowlings fix-mod folder and the PA_Jeronimos Better wheels mod.
The Claymore FW-190 family of mod-airplanes must be placed and loaded first before other airplane mods.
...........
NEXT step and NOT to be missed is to go to
E:\MAX2015\__IL2_1946_412\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946
and look for a folder named SAS_SFS
Place inside this folder the 2 files you see named...
fb10_clay01.sfs
and
fb410_clay02.sfs
and there should be an extra file inside named sas_ai_3do01.sfs (LEAVE IT!)
You should now have 2 files inside this folder named SAS_SFS
AND
then go to open your .rc file which is inside.... #SAS\STD\.rc
and open the file named you see (which is the .rc file)
and at the very bottom write into it ....
@sfs MOUNT SAS_SFS/fb410_clay01.sfs
@sfs MOUNT SAS_SFS/fb410_clay02.sfs
--------------------------------------
if you wish to add more skins for each airplane, you will need to go into the Paintshees SKINS section and
write the same name you on teh Air.ini for a new skin folder for each individual airplane.
It is the FIRST words+letters you see on teh air.ini
example...
Fw-190A-2 air.FW_190A2 2 g01 SUMMER
the skin folder is named... Fw-190A-2
.......................................
Once this is done.
RE-start your pc. wait until it starts up again and reads the files properly and then start your game.
If all of the steps taken as I have writen above, have been done, you should be flying with
all of this huge collection of Fw-190 and ta-152 series !
ONLY on 3 airplanes you will see the pilot sitting sideways, but this is an error in the files and
need to be corrected by copying the same written lines from other files of other aircraft of the same type
and re-writing them into the problemed versions with pilots sitting wrong.
ALL of these airplanes should also appear on your stationary airplane drop-down menu list when you are looking at a
map and place an airplane on it.
You can place ALL of the airplanes on the map and look at them
without a pilot inside (because they are parked) and you can see the details and fixes on them better.
I inspected each individual airplane one by one when I painted the skins for them and retectured the
new wheels for each aircraft. All of them now have diferent wheels and diferent wear and dirt on them
according to each version and if they were used more often on a dirt runway or on a cement runway.
These wheel+ rims skins can also be exchanged for others if you wish. It all depends on how much dirt you
may want to see on them, or if you just want to see very clean wheels on them.
AND
That is it.
I am not going to explain again on how to install these airplanes.
The instructions have been written already before.
