SR-71,
You need to install the complete DBW package in your 4.10.1 installation, then procede to install the New TFM packs into JSGME and activate them in serial order via JSGME.
Your selector will list DBW as an option.. select that then start game via selector.
New-TFM packs are best installed into a "clean" #DBW. The "clean DBW" included in JSGME is intended to be used to disable all (including New-TFM) mods.

Well, I'll try to write the complete process as I understand, with the problems I encounter:

1- Install, over stock 4.07 or 4.10, the "Stock 4.07m to DBW 1.71 SuperPack One-Stop Download & Install (the famous SAS F'nBigSuperPack !)" https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,21514.msg239532.html#msg239532 right or not?
2- Get the mandatory 4 sfs files and put into il1946 dir (easy)
3- The first problem: what must I do with the "Clean#DBW" folder??? Paste it in il1946 dir OR put in jsgme folder and activate as the first mod?  ???
4- Download and put all New-TFM packs as said by "BRAVO" (thx mate  ) This would be easy if I know what to do in 1 and 3
5- Dwnld, put in jsgme folder and activate the the  512-selector mod and start game with it... If I get to this point I think there would not be any problems 

So which is the right process? Thanks on advance guys 

Skip # 3 in your list. Once you install the full DBW in Step 1 of your list, you'll have a "Clean #DBW Folder". You can then procede to install the New TFM packs.

SR-71, you need to Install DBW on a full clean 4.101.m, here:   https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,21514.msg239532.html#msg239532
Then install New-TFM one by one.

Skip # 3 in your list. Once you install the full DBW in Step 1 of your list, you'll have a "Clean #DBW Folder". You can then procede to install the New TFM packs.

Thank you very much you two guys. I'll do so. The only doubt about all is what is the purpose of the file in the first post like this:

For Backup purposes and to ensure a Clean Vanilla #DBW Install
PLAIN VANILLA DBW 1.71 #DBW Mods Folder
DOWNLOAD - mediafire.com/?dre4yd3jof79twc

Start with a healthy enema! - Use this NEW Clean #DBW folder.

As said by you, it is not necessary if DBW is already installed, or perhaps is an alternative way to install DBW 1.71??

Meanwhile i'll try all your tips. Thx again! 

P.S. After observing it, I think it's only for replacing a modified DBW folder for a clean one; if DBW is just fresh installed is not needed.

Yes SR-71, that is correct.    if DBW is just fresh installed is not needed

Hey! After a big bunch of hours I've finally got New-TFM running OK! 

The only little problem is that with normal selector works fine, but if I activate and use the 512-selector I have CTD. Don't imagine why... 

Now the next step is to get Poltava's SCW mod to work.

Thanks everybody for your help 

EDIT: I've got 512-selector and SCW to run perfectly, only looke like a little problem with JSGME

Hello,

I have read and tried all of the above advice on installing TFM. I uninstalled IL-2 1946 and the IL-2 folder from the Ubisoft folder. I re-installed IL-2 1946 from the disk to 4.07m, then installed the DBW 1.71 Superpack to 4.101m. Success so far and DBW loads and flies. I installed the four files in the IL-2 main folder. I un-zipped the first 35 TFM files into JSGME and activated. TFM starts, loads to 5% then CTD. I've tried this process at least six times and am ready to jump on my sword. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

jastaace, sounds like an .sfs file problem (a compressed file that the game uses to load data).

Thanks, Marcost.

It must be the four sfs files, fb_clay 01 & 02 or tigersounds 1 &2, since DBW loads and flies OK. I'll do a new download and give it a try. These four sfs files go in the main IL-2 directory with the other sfs fliles, right?

[jasta11ace]

Marcost,

Thanks for the help. Replaced the Clay sfs files with new ones and TFM works!!!! For two weeks I've had to resort to flying CLOD. Even with Desastersoft campaigns it gets a little repeditive.

[jasta11ace]

OK, now that TFM works I downloaded "Ace of Spades". Got so excited that I forgot to start up my TrackIR. Quit IL-2 DBW-TFM and started TrackIR. Restarted IL-2 and TFM loads to 95% and stops responding. Turned off IL-2 and screen resolution went from 1280x1024 to 1024x768.

Repeated start-up with TrackIR shut off and TFM starts OK at 1280x1024.

Glad you got it fixed

Simon, just reporting in to say i finally got around to installing the New TFM last weekend, all went off without a hitch, and it's a brilliant package, mate - maybe my favorite to date!
thanks again for all your efforts with this, it's hugely appreciated, mate.
