The Full Monty, New-TFM - Into The Future
THE JAVA WALLIn its current state DBW+TFM is basically the V4.101m Super-Sim with everything including the kitchen sink! For many this is a collection that rocks and has it all.
However, due to the outdated architecture of the original game, many of us with older operating systems, or just those pilots who enjoy massive furballs and pushing the envelope, may begin to experience slowdowns or other glitches as the whole sim becomes weighed down by the sheer amount of content, a problem often referred to as the 'Java Wall'. On an older OS the memory leaks really start to make themselves felt. A smaller Mods content will help performance in this regard, but what to keep?
In addition to numerous mod-updates since I started TFM, we now have Il2 patched to Ver4.12m with its new features, alongside future updates and the newer Jetwar and Engine mods looking towards further horizons.
SOLUTIONSA revised 'The Full Monty' builds on Dark Blue World, itself based on V4.101m/UP3, covering the period from WWII to Korea. This is called New-TFM.
Built from the ground up around the SAS Hotkeys & Carrier Mod integrated with Tiger33's Sounds and Pal's Cockpit Sounds, the result is an incredible sound experience inside and out, with additional functions like Steam-Catapults on the crucial Korean era aircraft carriers.
The New-TFM JSGME Packs are also amazingly small, focussed on key functions and a select group of new objects, maps and aircraft. The balance between content and features is finely tuned here; resulting in a very stable platform and the ultimate WWII/Korean Era Sim.
I still wanted a shitload of new objects for FMB as well as CY6's Command and Control Mod (V3.031), but in all areas New-TFM is very careful with the new objects and the planelist. Strictly WWII and Korea, many new aircraft and slots have been added, but still far fewer than the old TFM, with a close eye towards that Java Wall.
So what about Jetwar, the MiG-21 and Vietnam? For those scenarios we may be better off considering a new approach based on 4.12m/4.13m for all the newer stuff. So that's for another install and I will be ready! Right now, if you want to fly WWII or Korea, this is the set to have, and some campaigns about to be released will prove it!
SAS ENGINE MODSAS AI Hotkeys Mod V2.5 is used here in favour of SAS AI Hotkeys Mod V2.6. This is because I found perfect stabilty with V2.5 but was able to generate a CTD with V2.6. This is no reflection on V2.6, just the particular combination of mods in this setup that works better with V2.5 and can get wobbly with V2.6 on DBW/V4,101m. I personally recommend keeping it that way for this install, update New-TFM further at your own risk.
Because of the use of V2.5 over V2.6, the catapult on the I-400 Japanese sub has not been implemented. Its a great feature for later mod groups, but not vital enough to jerpardise the stability of this mod setup. Both the beautiful I-400 Submarine and the Aichi M6A Seiran are in New-TFM, courtesy of Ten010, and I will write a mission set for them soon.
SOUNDS, BEACONS & FLAMESThe integration of Tiger33's Engine Sounds and Pal's Cockpit Sounds works really well here. The sounds are so immersive and yet have no effect on performance. However, Pal's Cockpit Sounds uses the same classfiles as the Engine Flames Mod and also kills the Advanced-Nav Beacon Function. So if you wish to use use your radio stations in a mission or campaign, and listen to music while you fly, you must first disable (-) !00_PAL-CockpitSounds. This mod is easily switched ON/OFF from within #DBW, depending on your preference. While it is pleasant enough listening to period tunes as you cruise over Europe, there is also nothing quite like the urgent breathing mask sounds when you are working your Sabre hard over the Yalu, so its good to have the choice as long as we remember the switch.
DOWNLOADThere are now 37 New-TFM Packs (install in number order), and some Optional Extras, mainly because each is such a small download, with every pack zipped to under 200Mb. The whole set is over ten times smaller than the original TFM. Unzipped into JSGMEMODS each pack will take only a minute and a half to activate. To put that in perspective, the entire New-TFM is zipped up to 2.17Gb, which is the size of just one of the larger original TFM Packs! So New-TFM can be downloaded very easily and totally activated in an hour!
PERFORMANCEMaxxed out with Gurners FX (optional extra, see below), and Carsmaster's Water-4 (built into New-TFM), on a moderate PC with 6Gb RAM and an NVidia GeForce card gives you 60fps in any situation and absolutely stable! However, remember the Java Wall. We may upgrade some components as mods are updated, but let’s try to show a little restraint now! Of course, you can do what you like, but users should really not consider modding New-TFM further at this stage, that isn't the point. DBW was already the greatest Il2 Mod compilation on its release and New-TFM should be viewed as a performance based WWII-Korea enhancement to that wonderful set.
CREDITSAll original READMEs and credits remain within their individual mod folders. It has been the greatest privilege to message and discuss ideas with these guys and my only goal is to share ideas and the enjoyment of Il2 DBW with everyone who loves this sim as much as I do.
Many thanks to Bravo, for first downloading and testing New-TFM, and my good friend RDDR, who originally had the idea for TFM and has also helped to develop New-TFM. As mere compilers and test-pilots though, the last in the chain of events, we present to you the real creators of New-TFM below:

FINAL MAP UPGRADE#DBW_NewTFM-26Gilles Babin's wonderful Westfront maps.
Map Upgrades take up disc space but, since they only run one at a time, don't greatly effect performance. The huge Map packs from TFM original have been broken into reduced size pieces to maintain the small uploads and fast JSGME loading. This last one fills in a few gaps, they all work now!

EFFECTS & 3D UPGRADE#DBW-NewTFM-36-3D UpgradeSome wonderful new effects and 3D work have been developed over the past year. Careful testing with the previous TFM now allows these addons to be seemlessly integrated into your New-TFM install.
DBW-NewTFM-36 now has more great new environmental sounds that can be added in FMB as static objects. Stuka40 and CY6 have brought the airfields, coastlines, forests and cities to life with these wonderful environmental sounds! The extra sounds feature in many New-TFM campaigns, and it would simple to retro mission-patch any others, so don't miss out!

CY6's Command and Control is also very useful reading for those mission designers who want to push the envelope.

With this pack enabled you will have DBW-1916 and DBW listed in order as 'The First World War' and 'WWII to Korea New-TFM', with new mod folders also created for #SCW and #JTW. The #SCW and #JTW are actually Clean #DBW folders, ready for customisation. Ecran_Wide_4101 and PAL-MissionProCombo are already added.
On my setup #SCW is for Poltava's 'Spanish Civil War'. Simply extract the contents of his SCW pack to the #SCW folder in order to have it alongside DBW-1916 and DBW+New-TFM. The #JTW is intended for a future project; "The Cold War and the Jet Age", which could be released like the SCW and New-TFM sets if people want them.
Previous DBW New-TFM Mods remain unaffected. This Selector is simply an extra choice you may enable, safely with JSGME, anywhere in your mod sequence.
DOWNLOAD NEW SELECTORhttps://www.mediafire.com/?lu68ds7sp3edvpbUsing the Beacon FeatureYou can add lots of extra radio tracks and programs for your in-game Il2 Radio Stations:

With a throttle stick I assign the - and + keys on the keyboard. You will also need to set your sound menu to 'Play Music' but turn of In-Flight tracks so that all you have is the Menu Music. When you start your mission or campaign you must also select 'Realistic Navigation'. During long flights you may now access various radio broadcasts over different theatres of operation.

FIXES AND EDITSThe odd thing might still crop up, this is the place for some simple edits, fixes and tune-up tips:
1) FOLDER: ...#DBW/
_0_0GearDamageFX V 1.3 - delete the following class file: F5F37ACE5B99838E (defective).
2) FOLDER: ...#DBW/
!_0_0TigersSOUNDSforDBW - RENAME TO -
+0000_TigersSOUNDSforDBW for 3do improvements and fixes.
3) FOLDER: ...#DBW/
_Fix Cowling Engines & Prop Yak´s Spinners/Yak-3_VK107(Multi1) - delete the following files: gear2.mat - GearC1_D0.msh - GearL1_D0.msh - GearR1_D0.msh.
4) FOLDER: ...#DBW/
#DBW/_Fix Cowling Engines & Prop D3A - disable or delete this folder for 3D Mesh Fix.
5) texcompress=2: In your CONF.INI, be sure to check this line: texcompress=2. Switching it to lower values will adversely affect performance. Make sure you use it to avoid the dreaded slide show.

TIGER33 SOUND TWEAKI wanted to draw attention to this Tiger33 Sound tweak. On a DBW + New-TFM install the pre-recorded full throttle flyby sound is in place and sounds good. However, the standard setup is a single pre-recorded flyby for a number of aircraft. Its spectacular but here is a great alternative offering several advantages:
In your CONF.INI check and change these settings to these values:
[sound]
Attenuation=7
SoundMode=2
SamplingRate=2
NumChannels=4
SoundFlags.hardware=1
[Mods]
Flyby=0
(of course there are many other settings in CONF.INI, in these sections and others, I have just highlighted the ones to change)RESULTSAs the Flyby is now generated from the exterior engine sounds, rather than the pre-recorded flyby, you will now find several remarkable improvements:
1) Interior Cockpit sounds are louder
2) More variable flybys dependant on power and airspeed
3) Improved Jetsounds with greater harmonic range
4) Improved stability for flybys on ALL maps
5) Improved stability in very busy multiple flights
Thanks to 'greybeard', principally, for this tweak and RDDR for testing it -
HAPPY DAYS!
*****************************
THE CONF.INIWhile we are on the subject, CONF.INI has itself been modified over the years. The file, located in your Il2 root directory, should contain a [Mods] section which ideally would look like this:
[Mods]
BombSightAssist=1
BombSightAssistConf=3
MixedSpeedbar=1
FullSpeedbar=1
PALMODsColor=1
ShowSIToo=1
3DGunners=1
SpeedbarUnits=3

SpeedbarSpdMPH=1
SpeedbarSpdKnots=1
SpeedbarAltMeters=1
SpeedbarAltFeet=1

/AirShowSmoke=2 <----- white smoke
/AirShowSmoke=3 <----- blue smoke
Once set up it is also a good idea to make the CONF.INI
'read only' to avoid inadvertant altering by the sim itself. Remember, your new CONF.INI is now ahead of the game engine and a look inside those setup menus can send the whole thing back to the basic level. When you have new keys to assign, Fuel Dump, Beacons, Bay-Doors etc, take it off
'read only' status while you launch and enter the controls menu, then exit and revert to
'read only' before you start again.
