This is another very nice and less than usual plane for a flight sim ... something different ...

And it does indeed work perfectly in 4.10 if you follow the above advice ...

Thanks to all.

How to use it in my #DBW installation?

Hi Guys,
How to use it in my #DBW installation?
Will it work at all?
Thanks in advance.

I've installed it in DBW (essentially  a 4.10 install). And it works like a charm.

Download the flyable version, add the lines to the air.ini as usual.
Copy the Bristol Beaufort folder to #DBW

and then - here is the part necessary for 4.10 to work:

copy the one single file from your Diff_FM mod folder (in my install the folder is named: '00_PAL-AutoDiff'), into the Bristol Beaufort folder. In my install/version the file inside 00_PAL-AutoDiff has the following name:

294ABC86A89FAEB4

Copy the above into your Bristol Beaufort folder ... then boot up and take it for a flight ...

Well... if you have the '00_PAL-AutoDiff' mod installed in yourf game, there is no necessity to copy the 294ABC86A89FAEB4 in every plane's folder... just have it once, it will work perfectly !

I tried that too - it does not work. However if you follow the original instructions above (i.e. copy the file into the beaufort folder), the plane works perfectly in DBW...

Hi guys

I've tried several combinations but no result, I still have the 60% crash.

I've patched my game with the "DBW super pack" so I've got a DBW 1.71-modded version.

In my #DBW folder I have :
- the "plane" folder with 3do, cod, some .sfs files (are they .sfs?) and the BFORT_FM
- the "weapons" folder with 3do and four .sfs files

I didn't put the Diff_FM file (the one included in the DBW pack) in the Beaufort folder, I have installed some aircrafts and I didn't need to do so. I may be wrong though.

Any idea?

Well, I followed the advice given to put the one classfile from the 00_PAL-AutoDiff mod into the Beaufort's folder. The file is named thus:

294ABC86A89FAEB4

Just copy it into the Beaufort folder. It works perfectly for my version of DBW ... try it out. If it won't work for you there is nothing lost, just delete and try something else.

Strangely, I have 294ABC86A89FAEB4 but  I can't find any folder concerning AutoDiff... It must be somewhere because I had no problem when I added the Do 17 or the Me 262 pack.

Note : I've tried with both BFORT_FM files, adding the 294ABC86A89FAEB4 file into the folder. 60% crash.

I have no idea ... but you can always disable it first by simple renaming it to -294ABC86A89FAEB4 ... then see what happens.

#DBW-NewTFM-24 file download now available, contains beaufort 409 with  294ABC86A89FAEB4 already in it; works fine in my DBW.
I installed manually (for entries:readme) and the needed mod(s) files in my #DBW folder. + USA-GB weapon's file.

subject: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,35424.0.html

BOMBER COMMAND UPGRADE

#DBW-NewTFM-24
1) 101tfs Lancaster Upgrade
2) New412 Wellington
3) New412 Bristol Beauforts
4) 24Bit_Skins

Thanks to 101tfs, SAS~Epervier and VPmedia for this major DBW upgrade.  #DBW-NewTFM-24 overwrites parts of Ranwer's Lancaster and replaces the previously installed Wellington.  So now we have an upgraded Lancaster 3D and the Wellington imported from V4.12.  In addition the excellent Beaufort Torpedo Bomber has also been imported from V4.12 and made flyable.  Also included in this pack are new FMB Stationary models for all three aircraft types.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Once you activate the Bomber Command Upgrade with JSGME you must delete the folder AIR_Wellington MK_III from #DBW.

New-TFM-24
https://www.mediafire.com/?npaz3toreyaus5r
DBW 4.101: do not use JSGME. Do not use-replace STD content. Do not use-replace  .rc file ( cause this is for a virgin brand new game entirely).
delete wellington refers to 'any not from-412' earlier versions, if you do add the newer 412for409wellington in 410.

Somewhere over Dutch New Guinea.  :D ;)

Works a treat in DBW thanks to Agracier's instructions.

However I copied the one single Beaufort main folder over into DBW and got a crash initially.

I then copied the two folders inside (01 and 06) the Beauforts main folder to the #DBW folder

Ags advice concerning the java file  ;D

Low and Behold  ;) :)

also at the beginning of this mission number 4 aircraft had an engine failure and both engines did not start is this a 4.12 thing? (No.4 return to base immidiately)i ended up with 3 Beau's in the air

Try to load this aircraft first, put a " ! " sign beforethe folders name. ( it should appear on the top of your mod list, same thing with the wellington).

I'm sure this is a mod conflict, I don't have this stationary mods and I'm using the gurner FX.

I met this problem some time with different aircrafts, and always an effect mod was the one which caused the problem.
The plutonium effect mod is quite old now, if the first trick i mentioned don't help please try to deactivate the plutonium effect mod delete it or put an "-" sign before the folder's name  like this: " -plutoniumeffect"  It's important that never use " space " between the words or characters.

Title: Re: Bristol Beaufort (4.09)
Post by: Mad026 on July 18, 2013, 12:32:51 AM
the beau mk I works and the other has the same problem?  I'm using maybe more than a hudred mod, mainly aircrafts with some effect mod, and some mapmod.  They use their own cockpit the beaus cockpit quite similar to the Blenheim's cockpit and the wellington hes it's own too.

You still haven't got so much mod try to deactivate all of them, then activate them one by one but start with the Beaus and with the wellington ( and of course with the weapons pack for these two birds), test them, try  to load a mission chechk the weapon loadouts, and do the same every time you activate an other mod.

This have to show your which mod has a conflict with the Beaus, and wellington.  IF you still have the problem when just the beaus and the wellington active, well I don't know then they should work, then please post your log file, if you don't know how to do that send me a pm and then I 'll help.

I tested flyable version under 4.10.1+DBW1.71+EngMod2.6RCfin
with untouched SAS FM from the package and it works :)
No auto-DiffFM changes needed if you have EngMod2.6RCfin
(http://jurzysta.com/paulus/Screens1/Beaufort.jpg)
(http://jurzysta.com/paulus/Screens1/Beaufort2.jpg)
(empty+30% of fuel)

Please be careful with 294ABC86A89FAEB4 as it is very important flight model class.
It is in DBW 1.71, overwritten by newer version in EngMod 2.6 RC fin (May-June 2013).
AutodiffFM has it too but as far as I checked there was no AutoDiffFM update for 4.10.1 after EngMod 2.6 RC fin was released.
It is not good idea to put it into plane folder as it is one of main classes.

If you have EngMod 2.5 you can go ahead with autoDiffFM (I think). But if you have EngMod 2.6 RC fin - you may mess-up your installation

... an incredible true story about a downed Beaufort crew hijacking a Cant Z 506B ... (from Wikipedia)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Beaufort

"Capturing a CANT

On 28 July 1942, a Beaufort of 217 Squadron was forced to ditch during an attack on an Italian convoy. The crew, Lieutenant E.T. Strever (SAAF-pilot), Plt Off W.M. Dumsmore and two New Zealanders, Sergeants A.R. Brown and J.A. Wilkinson, were later picked up by a Cant Z.506B floatplane. They were taken to an Italian base at Prevesa, Greece where they were well looked after overnight. Next morning the prisoners boarded another Cant Z.506B: the Italians decided not to use handcuffs in case the aircraft was forced down at sea.

Some 45 minutes into the flight, Sgt Wilkinson distracted the guard who was overpowered and disarmed. The five Italian crew were forced to surrender the Cant and Lt Strever took over the controls, altering course to fly to Malta. There were no proper maps on board and a rough heading to the south-west was set.

Eventually Cape Spartivento, the southernmost point of Italy, was recognised and a new course was set for Malta, some 100 mi (160 km) to the south. The aircraft was soon detected by radar on Malta and a section of four Spitfires of 603 Squadron was scrambled to intercept. They found the Cant about 10 mi (16 km) off the coast and forced it to alight with a burst through the port wing.

HSL 107 (an RAF High Speed Launch, used to rescue aircrew) arrived an hour later and found the five Italians and four Beaufort crew sitting on the wings enjoying wine and brandy provided by the Italians. Cant No. MM45352 13 of 139 Squadrilia was taken into service by the RAF and used for air-sea rescue (ASR) duties. Lt Strever and Plt Off Dunsmore were awarded the DFC and Sgts Wilkinson and Brown, the DFM."

Found photo of the Cant in St Paul's Bay and one of all the 4 Beaufort crew plus the 5 prisoners with arms around each other as if they were all old mates. His description was a bit sparce but with a bit of help from Google found this forum and your excellent description of events. Thanks for filling in the missing gaps

Post by: Mick on January 17, 2014, 01:13:59 AM
Welcome aboard Liz ...!  :D

If you please, you can post the pics you found to illustrate that incredible story ...  ;)

I found a much more detailed story here :

http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/archive/index.php?t-16818.html

... this also

Code: [Select]
Out of these gallant Beaufort attacks came a unique event in the air war in which two New
 Zealand wireless operator-gunners took full share. On 29 July 1942 Sergeants A. R. Brown32
and J. A. Wilkinson33 flew with their South African pilot and English navigator in an attack on
one merchant vessel and two destroyers off Sapienza in Southern Greece. The pilot, Lieutenant
E. T. Strever, fired his torpedoes at short range at the merchant vessel, since that was invariably
the prime target, but his aircraft was badly hit in the starboard engine, which eventually failed,
forcing him to land in the sea. Although the Beaufort sank within ninety seconds, the crew were
able to climb into their dinghy and paddle towards the coast. Presently an Italian Cant Z506
float-plane alighted about 100 yards away. The South African lieutenant swam over to it, and
was courteously received with brandy and cigarettes as he explained in pantomime what had happened.
The rest of the crew were taken aboard, and the three-engined float-plane taxied
 laboriously to a nearby island. Here they were given the use of the officers' mess for the rest of
the day and were treated to an excellent dinner and a lively party in the evening. In the morning
 photographs were taken and the Cant set course for Taranto. The crew consisted of first and
second pilot, engineer, and wireless operator-observer, the escort being one Italian corporal carrying
a revolver. Shortly before the flight began our men had discussed the possibility of capturing the
 aircraft. Sergeant Wilkinson was the first to see an opportunity. He was sitting facing the Italian
observer, behind whom sat the escort with his revolver at his waist. Attracting the observer's
attention, he hit him heavily on the jaw, jumped over him and seized the astonished escort's revolver.
Passing this to Lieutenant Strever, Wilkinson moved toward the Italian pilot using the Corporal as a
shield. Strever followed behind Wilkinson, brandishing the revolver at the pilot, who attempted to draw
his own and to put the aircraft down on the water. Threatened again by the Lieutenant, he levelled out
 the aircraft and submitted to capture. Meanwhile the English observer and Sergeant Brown trussed up
 the remaining Italians, and the South African took over the controls.


But the crew was now faced with the difficulty of flying a strange three-engined aircraft, besides
being without maps or charts and having little knowledge of their geographical position. The Italian
second-pilot was put in the pilot's seat and a rough course set for Malta. At length they recognised
 the toe of Italy, and although there was no way of gauging the amount of petrol left, they determined
 to try again for Malta. Finally the island was sighted, but the worst moment of the whole sortie came
when three Spitfires attacked as the Cant flew in at sea level. Brown spun the guns about as the
recognised signal to show the fighters that he was not going to fire, and the navigator waved his white
 singlet out of the cockpit, but the Spitfires still attacked, and when one of the wings was hit by
cannon and machine-gun fire, the Italian second-pilot was ordered to come down on the sea. As the
aircraft touched down the engines stopped for lack of petrol. Subsequently the party was towed into
Malta, where the Cant aircraft was put to good use on air-sea rescue duties. The South African
lieutenant felt in honour bound to supervise personally the Italians' comfort as the least return for their
hospitality. The captured crew cheerfully accepted the situation, although they had in fact been
proceeding on leave to the mainland, and one even produced from his suitcase a bottle of wine. It was
with mixed feelings that the Royal Air Force crew later heard a Spitfire pilot claim in the Mess to have

I'm sorry but I can not install the mod Beaufort on my DBW 1.71. The system crash at 70% loading.
Then I proceeded as follows:
1 ) I downloaded the file " Beaufort_412for409_FLY.7z
2 ) I copied all the rows from the "readme" file , respectively in air.ini , plane.ru and weapon.ru
3) I copied the folders " 01_Weapons_USA_GB ", " 06_Beaufort_412for409_FLY " in DBW
4) I copied the three folders with skins in the Skins>>>Paintschemes
5 ) I copied the file " 294ABC86A89FAEB4 " in the folder " 06_Beaufort_412for409_FLY "
6 ) At this point I launched IL2 1.71 DBW getting the crash to 70%
So, not being sure of what is the button that I am using ( SAS/UV2/UV3 ? ) I replaced the default BFORT_FM with the other BFORT_FM contained in the folder " _FM_409_buttons UV2_UV3 ."
So I run again IL2 DBW 1.71 , but the system always crashes at 70%.
I inform you to have already successfully installed other aircraft such as Ba mod 65 , BR 20 , RO 37 Breguet XIX, 24 PZL etc ... without problems.
Help! ? I do not know what to do ...

This Mod brings the "409" icon.
I nowhere mentions that it is compatible 410 and above.
I would say nothing more.

I hope that a user 410 (UP3/DBW/HSFX) can help you.

Download the flyable version, add the lines to the air.ini as usual.
Copy the Bristol Beaufort folder to #DBW
and then - here is the part necessary for 4.10 to work:
copy the one single file from your Diff_FM mod folder (in my install the folder is named: '00_PAL-AutoDiff'), into the Bristol Beaufort folder. In my install/version the file inside 00_PAL-AutoDiff has the following name:
294ABC86A89FAEB4
Copy the above into your Bristol Beaufort folder ... then boot up and take it for a flight ...

so, despite having seen the label 4.09, I thought it might go well for the 4.10 (1.71 DBW) ...

Hi Guys,
How to use it in my #DBW installation?
Will it work at all?
Thanks in advance.

I've installed it in DBW (essentially  a 4.10 install). And it works like a charm.

Download the flyable version, add the lines to the air.ini as usual.
Copy the Bristol Beaufort folder to #DBW

and then - here is the part necessary for 4.10 to work:

copy the one single file from your Diff_FM mod folder (in my install the folder is named: '00_PAL-AutoDiff'), into the Bristol Beaufort folder. In my install/version the file inside 00_PAL-AutoDiff has the following name:

294ABC86A89FAEB4

Copy the above into your Bristol Beaufort folder ... then boot up and take it for a flight ...

HELP!!! I am running DBW build 1.171 which was working perfectly but now I'm getting a CTD at 60%, I followed these instructions to the letter and it crashes, the only thing different is 294ABC86A89FAEB4 was in my #DBW\XTD folder.

Please help!

Did you copy 294ABC86A89FAEB4 file in "06__Beaufort_412for409_FLY" folder ?
The good flight model is in "_FM_409_buttons SAS" folder.

I do not provide any assistance to the not-Rebels ...
But I do not understand why you add this DiffFM to your DBW!
Traditionally it is stated that DBW already includes a DiffFM  and that should not change it!

I'm not quite sure what you mean. I copied the 294ABC86A89FAEB4 file into the "06__Beaufort_412for409_FLY" folder, ctd at 60%. Copied the BFORT_FM file from the  "_FM_409_buttons SAS" folder into the "06__Beaufort_412for409_FLY" folder, also ctd after 60%

just a little update for info that I finally got this working in 4.10 DBW!

I read in an earlier post it works if you have the "SAS Engine Mod v2.6RC Final" mod installed. So I installed that, fixed the no catapult problem then added the air.ini, plane_ru and weapons_ru lines, added the skin folders, removed the "-" from in front of the "06__Beaufort_412for409_FLY" folder in my #DBW folder and Bob is now your auntie's live in lover! All works beautifully! Now to get DCG to see it and I will be one happy camper!

have a little issue, originally I only tested the mk1 late in DBW assuming all 3 would work, the mk2 doesnt work in FMB, it shows in the list but when you select it the show plane window is blank and if you select plane 1 the select plane screen drops half way down the main screen and locks up the game completly. any idea what causes this?

Dear friends,

I try to use these aircrafts in my 4.13.4 SAS Modact 6.4 version. They are OK as AI, but the following problem occurs when I try yo fly it:

INTERNAL ERROR: HierMeshObj: Can't load HIM 3DO/Cockpit/Blenheim-Bombardier/BombardierBeaufort.him

Any chance to fix this problem?

Aucune !

It has been known for a long time: codes 409 for cockpits are incompatible with code 413! Thanks at DT!
And for my part, I only work for the Rebels!

Post by: Marat on January 09, 2019, 11:00:56 AM
Oh, I see!  o_O

So great aircrafts and no chance to have them in the upgraded version! Too pity! Logically, to my opinion, the upgraded versoin should have all aircrafts for previous versions compatible with, but in fact so incomprehensible lapse takes place ((

Nothing to do but to use them as AI ::(

You're right!
There are 413 things I can't use in my 409! I can't convert them!
Example: the new bombers' sights!
A scandal!  ;)   8)

The Beaufort fans among you probably have already seen Von and my production of three Beaufort campaigns at Mission4Today. The latest, 'Hornet's Nest', is an RAAF campaign where we had to use the Beaufort mark 2 as the Mark 8 is not modelled as yet. It is a great aircraft to fly and Sgt Fresh has even flown it on Youtube as a fighter in a 'Shipbusters' mission or two!

One day we hope to upgrade when the correct model comes along. Maybe the hundreds of downloads of our campaigns may inspire someone to create further models of this versatile aircraft for both 4.12.2, 4.13.4 and 4.14.1.

 ;D  Actually the Beaufort VIII  is already there! It would take an import virtuous to adapt it to Il2, as has already happened for many other 3D models ... from that precious jewels Hangar chew is War Thunder!

Hi guys. Apologies, Gabriel and I just had to come do a little sweeping. All sorted out now and as it should be.

@ stanislao & larschance : We hope perhaps one day someone will take up that challenge and make the VIII  :) Until then, we will love the others a little extra  :D
