SAS "Modact" for HSFX 5
by
SAS~CirX
------------------------------
This is a modfolder for your HSFX5 installation. It was made with the permission of CharlieChap.
What this does:
It gives you a functional mods folder, with all the files needed to build a customised HSFX 5 installation, by adding mods and planes of choice.
It brings support for using SAS Buttons in this modfolder (SAS buttons for 4.101, version 8.4 or later), but, the installation has an original HSFX5 buttonsfile. Update this with the latest SAS Buttons as required.
Remember to disable your mods folder by placing a "-" in front of it, before using HSFX expert mode or playing HSFX servers online. You cannot use customised installs for online play with other vanilla HSFX users.
This also includes the language fix for those who need it (campaigns and ranks in russian). That is what is in the DGen adn Missions folders. Careers Fix by Potenz, raf ranks fix by McWolf
Also included in the MODS folder is a little mod that reduced the volume of aircraft stress sounds. Discard it if you wish.
Also included is a customised Air.ini with placeholder. Beware that customising the air ini likewise in the files folder, and disabling the mods folder, will crash your game. Included is the original HSFX air ini for those who wish.
About the JSGME mods:
Included are two essential ones. One is for use when you choose the "Default Sounds" jsgme option that came with HSFX, while using an SAS buttons. If you choose this option, also enable the SAS patch for it. The other is for if you choose the Tiger Flyby option that came with HSFX. Enable this is you enable the tiger flyby's while using SAS buttons. It also fixes the FOV bug in the default HSFX version, so , pure HSFX users may think of using it also.
Lastly, I also put in the screenshots as jpg's mod. Discard it if you wish.
-----------------------------
Installation:
Make sure all your jsgme mods are disabled before installation. you can enable again afterwards
Drag the folders in the download ( MODS, Dgen, Missions, jsgmemods ) into your main IL2 directory. When asked about replacing files, say yes. Update your buttons at SAS if you want to install new planes. (https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,97.0.html). Only version 8.4 for 4.101 or later will work.

Have a Nice Day!

Thank you Cirx,
This empowers a lot of good people out there to put together the il2 that they want.
Superb stuff !

I have a 5% crash with it :(
Is the Modact only for HSFX 5.0?

I have a 5% crash with it :(

......yes. What did you install it into?
-
Thank you) I installed it into 5.1 Hotfix.
-
it works fine with the hotfix
-
I've just re-installed the HSFX & Hotfix, now it works good! Maybe, I installed sth wrong earlier...
-
Thanks 4 this, Cirx :)
4 those who want the Ki-44 Hei & Otsu must add multi45A154D6D2322C60 and 333C115CAC4A0572 class files to the the MiSfiTs Ki-44 Hidden_Cutouts_Beta.7z
SAS Rulez!

I'm running HSFX5.0.1 Dedicated Server.
It is well.
In another folder and Port, can I run HSFX5.0.1 with this Modact and newest button, "1956 The Jet Era", Dedicated Server?
I wish to run "1956 The Jet Era"'s Dedicated Server.
-
Remember to disable your mods folder by placing a "-" in front of it, before using HSFX expert mode or playing HSFX servers online.
If I understood correctly, it's incompatible...
-
Kinda confused about something,I can install clean and patch all the way up to HSFX5.0.1 and that's what I see down in the corner when I start the game HSFX5.0.1 but,after I install this Modact for HSFX5.0 what I see in the corner when the game starts is HSFX5.0.By installing this Modact do I lose the 5.0.1 Hotfix or is it still there? Im using the 4.101 SAS Offline Buttons file if that makes a difference.
-
what if i have already added mods to my game folder? do i just place these files in and overwrite them?
plus if i have this mod act will i b able to run the il2 1956? :)
-
Fully updated with this and every other updated patch,buttons too...everything works like a charm & am delighted...really.... :)but having no luck getting properly installed new aircraft to show up anywhere in QMB or FMB .Yes have been selective in only trying the few SAS planes rated good for 4.10,but still no joy.I do have an STD folder in Mods folder,with the three files you would expect & have tried to use these while the remaining one on the 'Files" folder have been either enabled or disabled with no luck- I've even tried loading the required aircraft texts here as well with no joy.I'm not a Noob ,and have installed dozens of planes in diffeent encantations of Modded games,but I am only too human & may have missed something here or didn't read the proper readme that describes a different process...or maybe something else? ::)
This is my default game play location so I 'd like to get all the bells & whistles up & working...
Thanks!

Gumpy, no, you fdont loose anything. When you have SAS modfoder enabled, it shows you that loadupscreen to tell you on top in red that you should disable it before online play. And when I made the spashscreen, HSFX was still on 5.0. Chalrie is a lazy shit, he should have put the version number in a classfile :D. So, all that is happening is that you are SEEING a 5.0 splashscreen. But you are fully in 5.01.
what if i have already added mods to my game folder?
We dude, then you dont need this, do you?

Dietz I know of no specific problems. When making this modact I installed the whole Jetwar pack in HSFX without a hitch. What specific planes are you talking about here?
Have you been updating the air ini in the HSFX Files folder..?. obviously something is a amiss, because properly installed planes do by definition show up in QMB and FMB.
-
So far have tried only two the Lancaster & the Me-262B Nightfighter,both rated good for 4.101...of course what I'm really driving at is full use of the Pro Mission Combo to use new planes as well....and getting some of the planes that work in 4.09m like the SeaHurricanes ,etc.,when they come on line for 4.101m & HSFX 5. This version offers alot of promise ( until or unless a UP version comes along...) , I enjoy the built in effects , maps etc. and normally SAS mods go in without a ripple ,so I'm really going slow with things- not trying to do everything all at once so to speak...so I guess it might be the planes I'm trying to load?
BTW Slightly OT I'm really more glad than ever about SAS & AAA too for that matter....both have made this sim sooooo good that most effects appear to be better than CoD which is currently having some apparent "Birthing Pains..."
Thanks again! ;)

I suppose you refer to these mods:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,12278.0.html
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,4359.0.html
?
I am duly downloading them and will atempt to install in HSFX 5 with this modfolde. Will report back.
-
Did not have the slightest problem. That lanc is scary and loud though! :D
Tried them with and without MissionPro. No problems.
I think the problem is probably with the liveware.
-
Thanks a milion from the bottom of my and my friends heart SAS~CirX :)
Works great with UP Hellcats and the Jet era pack(have two F86-A in plane list :))
Loudest cheers fro me 8) :D :-* !!!

Thank you to all involved in compatible HFSX & SAS mods. Yust a question/request: it is possible to have compatible HFSX game version with 6Dof + ecranwide mods? I have tried w/o any result :(
-
CirX,
many thanks to you and Charlie! :)
one question- with the SaS HSFX activateed I have the jetwar working fine.- but, with the Mods folder active, none of the HSFX maps will save properly (tested Cannon,352,etc). Can this be corrected or did I miss something as usual???? :(
Jack
PS when Anto corrects the 56 1.1 button, hope you enjoy our efforts!
-
If the maps are not saving most this is most probably originated by some missing objects. Check your ini files and make sure that you have the good versions in the mod folders.

Hello all,
I am new to Il2 and just installed the game along with HSFX 5 and love it like this!
I do not really want to install more mod right now, but I have the problem of russian fonts in the career mode, so I came here for Sas Modact as it is said to solve this problem.
However, after installing it I still have the russian fonts in career...Could someone please help me with that?
Also, I would like to clarify something. I would like to continue using HSFX with Expert mod so I did not update the SAS buttons because I want to keep HSFX one. Maybe it is the problem? I am not sure to understand what expert mod does actually do. I am thinking it works offline and online to have more realistic handling of aircraft and otehrs objetcs in the game. Am I right? I do not play online right now, so I guess that I can use it along with Sas Modact?
Thanks in advnce for your help!
Best regards,
-

I made an error with this and SAS Modact 2.72's translation from the russian files, so some campaigns will still be in russian.
I will post an update in a day or two, just busy with something here.

Is it possible that you installed the 4.09 buttons instead of 4.10?
-
Also make sure that you don't have 'Expert' Mode enabled. The Universal buttons are not compatible with that and will give you a no-boot (CTD)
-
After installing Hsfx 5 with the hotfix< I noticed that none of the pilot careers work. I click ok for the the new pilot career and it goes back to the main menu? Any Thoughts?
-
~S~
Hey Charlie m8, what's missing from Expert mode enabled from just plain HSFX enabled, besides the obvious of being able to use a modded HSFX ?. Also, can I copy paste some of my modded stuff from DBW into HSFX ? saves downloading again & also copy/paste air ini? to update that list ?, oh yes and add maps into the Maps too from DBW, & ie: All ini., umm I'll find something else to ask later LOL
thanks fellas.

I try using this SAS Modact for HSFX5.
LOADING: scene shows me SAS Modact for HSFX5 is enable.
OK.
Next I try to install 1956 The Jet Era pack.
But I can't use 1956's airplanes.
Crash doesn't happen, QMB menu 1956's airplanes choosable, but Loadout window is white - no menu list.
And error log show me Cannot read /3do/.../Hier.him .
I write thise 2 lines
4) Add the following lines to your .rc file in the STD folder (insert before @sfs MOUNT sasup_decals_01.sfs):
@sfs MOUNT sasamt_jetwar_01.sfs
@sfs MOUNT sasamt_jetwar_02.sfs
in STD/.rc but it seems sasamt_jetwar_01.sfs isn't read by HSFX5.
Then I try unpack sasamt_jetwar_01.sfs and paste MODS folder.
OK. Every 1956's airplanes choosable, Loadout menu correct, I can fly.
I thi my way right?
or is it The detour?
-
Sounds Good Western :-)
( errors sound like an unzipping error (common with win7 unless you give admin permissions to installers).
I don't have Jetpack so can only really respond to your post and not from experience.

Hi guys sorry to be a pain (I just know this is my fault!) but O.K I was running HSFX 5 and in it i had a mod folder with all the usual gubbings in it (Mod aircraft, std) what i mean to say is where after this install do you find the Air file? buttons file, where do you put the new MOD aircraft, and for my sins I allowed this install to overwrite as requested and my old MOD,s folder has gone with all my Mod aircraft (ie Lancaster) Where has it gone to? or do i have to reinstall all my old mod aircraft?.....Fantastic idea trying to clear up IL-2 with one main system, but it just seems you get used to one way of adding things to the game then someone comes out with a differant way of doing things....Thanks for all the hard work, the game runs fine, but now i havn't a clue where everything is
-
O.K panic over, like I said it was me. Ruddy Mods folder was in game all the time just out of sight off the edge of the page....Anyway thanks for all the hard work guys and for putting up with burks like ME ::)
-
Is it HSFX v6.0 compatible?
-
Try it...it dosent bite you... ;)
-
Try it...it dosent bite you... ;)
Yeah!
I downloaded it, compared it with the 6.0 files and discovered not too much differences...so all I did was create a new "MODS" folder inside my HSFX 6.0 installation. Then I tried several 4.11.1 working mods and voilá....IT´s working :)...
No need for anything except a folder called MODS...nice and easy
-
Very usefull, thanks but is possible add RAM setting it will be perfect!
-
Why not? Just remove the stock exe and the HSFX one in the JSGME folder. then copy the new exe from the modact in the main IL2 game,enable HSFX, fire up the selector choose "classic mod Game" ,make your RAM settings,and then...start your engines gentleman! :D Easy!
Enjoy!
-
I have try this solution some days ago, isn't a good solution because the selector were built for SAS and UP and in apparence all work well, but for example if it is active in FMB the Stationary Planes not load as in the precompiled mission, the new wrapper is not for HSFX, and so on. The only way will be that an expert modder convert the selector also for HSFX.
-
I have used hsfx 5 mod activator and the autodiff fm can get planes in and fly but when you go to auto pilot in cockpit view game freezes but gun postions are fine just aheads up
-
Try this, includes a mods folder for HSFX 6.0 and also Diff FM for HSFX 6.0

Thanks to ton414
-
On the SAS Modact for HSFX5 there was a FOV bug fix if Tiger Flyby was enabled . It fixed the external view of the plane back to the correct size . Anyone knows which file was and if it works with HSFX 6.0 ?
Thanks.
