Title: Update Pack 4 for "IL-2 SCW" ready for download!
Post by: SAS~Poltava on November 01, 2013, 02:11:33 AM
Now that almost all SCW aircraft have been made available with this Mod Pack, I've broadened the scope somewhat and turned to another important conflict during the Thirties: The Sino-Japanese War!

1. INTRODUCTION: “IL-2 SCW” is a simple compilation of different material, designed for the modded version of the game “IL-2 Sturmovik”, a pack containing everything you need to start simulating air combat mainly during the Spanish Civil War 1936-39, but also during the Sino-Japanese War.

The aim of “IL-2 SCW” is to provide a collection of mods that can be easily installed, without multiple downloads, editing of different ini-files etc. And as it is activated through JSGME.exe it can’t “break” your installation, but can be switched “on” and ”off” as the player pleases.

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD UPDATE PACK 4 HERE:http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=1808

As this is UPDATE 4 of the updated base pack, it means that you MUST have the Base Pack PLUS Update 1 PLUS Update 2 PLUS Update 3 installed first, and in that order, otherwise this update won’t work!

B.) The great Hankow map by Agracier - indispensable for any action over China!

C.) 55 new skins (mainly for the Sino-Japanese War) by Archie (a lot of them!), Murdoc, Hayate, Vongraz, Mission Bug, Imme, Graf, Jaypack 44, Friction, Highlander_262 and Sparty.

3. REQUIREMENTS: As this an update pack it will ONLY work if you already have the base pack of “IL-2 SCW” installed PLUS Update 1 PLUS Update 2 PLUS Update 3 (which all in its turn goes on top of a clean DBW 1.71 install. That is VERY IMPORTANT. Follow this procedure and it is almost 100% guaranteed to work. (And as mentioned: it can’t mess up your game, as it is activated via jsgme.)

4. INSTALLATION: First: Make sure to deactive "IL-2 SCW" through jsgme. After this the installation has three easy steps:
1. Uncompress the whole downloaded file. (Note: the format is 7zip. If you don’t have that program, it can be downloaded for free here: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html)
2. The two folders (“jsgmemods”, “Paintschemes”) are simply dropped in the root folder of your DBW install (for instance "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946"). Overwrite if prompted to.
3. In your IL-2 root folder click on the icon named “JSGME.exe”. You will find one entry named “IL-2 SCW Mod Pack for DBW”. Select it, then click on the top arrow button (“Enable selected mod”). The Mod Pack will then be enabled. After this process is finished, close JSGME, and start IL-2 the regular way. (To the disable the Mod Pack, simply reverse the process in JSGME.)

Many, many thanks to all involved modders - you guys rule!  :)
