I'm looking for a good Korean War mission pack or campaign for IL-2 4.11.1 and HSFX6.

If anyone knows of one, please let me know. You guys have a promising Forum here. Somebody has to have an answer.

umm... sorry to discourage you, but SAS doesn't support 4.11.1. We are in the 4.10.1 area. But it might be possible to find or create a Korean War campaign for HSFX.

 ???

Ah...Okay...Thank you anyway.

Can I ask why people choose to mod a certain version of the game instead of the latest version?

[Venator77]

i don't really know, but i think it's because of the time and work. making big mod packs like UP3 take a lot time. most modders here have limited time to make mods. so if they started making a big mod pack like UP, it will take months, if not years, to complete, which by the time the 4.12 patch may come out. everyone needs a rest now and then.

You could see if my "Mud Movers 1952" work in HSFX 6. Can't see any reason why it shouldn't.

I also have LS's DCG Korea campaign working in HSFX.  Requires mods to HSFX for aircraft, map objects, some shipping, and SAS Mod Act 4.0 but it does indeed work well.  I may release though have to work up a detailed readme and install guide for all the required mods.

And what is this?
SAS Mod Activator v4.0RC for 4.11.1m

I have Black Tuesday. It will run but it is extremely laggy and I can't possibly play it.

What do the ModAct things do exactly? And can someone explain what the SAS Buttons are?

[WindWpn]

if using hsfx, you can stick with the hsfx buttons for now.  Though the sas mod activator is essential for HFSX due the to memory mgmt features, otherwise HSFX will bomb if modded.  Basically, for hsfx, you use the "Classic Mod" option for the SAS Mod Act.  Though to use this will require a Mod folder created via a jsgme enabling.  Best for this is to simply use UV3 for HSFX as it adds a mod folder.

There are some other nugget requirements out there for HSFX and specifically for the korea map which ships with HSFX.  HSFX stock is missing a ton of objects required for the Korea map, and thus Boomers UP3 objects packs are required.  Luckily those are available on the forum here and there is a sfs option available to set them up in your hsfx install.  I piggied off the UV3 rc to mount those sfs packs.  Note, this can all be fairly complicated if not familiar with how the washing machine works under the hood of IL2; though I hope to release the Korea DCG campaign with a lengthy readme on how to update HSFX to support the requirements necessary to run the Korea map along with the aircraft (including autoDiffFM), ship, and object additions.

Currently though in the middle of a Med DCG campaign update for HSFX that will be released soon?!

KTO version or CY6's version of the Korea map?

I installed the CY6 version myself I just like it better than the other one, Though both are nice.

i meant that most mods on SAS are still on 4.10.1 (and a few 4.09). it might take time to move to 4.11.1.

KTO version which ships with HSFX.  This is the version used in LS's Korea DCG campaign so it works well with all routes in place.  Only downside is that HSFX does not have all the necessary objects for this map and if you do not have the objects you will see airfields with missing/checkered runways and lots of buildings missing and a long list of missing stuff in the java console.  Though as noted, these objects are all in Boomers UP packs and the thread noting those packs has all needed to get KTO working correctly along with other mod maps that ship with HSFX and/or installed separately.  I flushed the map though the static.ini checker program and it comes out clean with the packs installed (of course with the static.ini updated as well).

All in all, the DCG KTO campaign is quite good, and right up there with BoB but at other end of the decade!
