Can you give me precise steps how to install Jet Era?  I really want to fly a modern jet in IL-2 environment!

Please read my first post in this thread.

Make a copy of the root folder of your IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 version 4.12.2 pure, and paste in C: \ directory.
Now install "SAS ModAct + Era Ajato" on this copy.

I managed to install SAS Engine Mod https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,37774.msg418151.html#msg418151

How do I know that it works?

I have also installed IL 1956 Jet Era 1.33 and flew Sabre.

But the max speed I reached was only 1050kmph?!

Have I missed doing something?

[asheshouse]

SAS Engine Mod must be installed ok or Jet Era Pack would not work.

I don't know much about the F86 Sabre, but speed of 1050 kph seems ok to me.
What do you think it should be?

[FNRennier]

That's right, if the engine did not work you could not operate the Ara Jet

No. Your doing OK. Congrats.
Engine mod gives new keys to program/assign in your CONTROLS section. Also more power-full catapults on carriers for jets are now available. Try FJ3M Fury. Try sidewinder missiles; you will love these ! They will tell you when to fire them with a going higher pitch buzzing sound !

Oh, okay then, ha ha, so that's all done, easy!

Are there any scenery mod?

Also do I need Ultra Pack?

I am not quite sure my Jet Era is completed actually Hubberranz, according to the instructions:

Installation for 4.12.2m ONLY:
1) Make sure you are running ModAct 5.3 on Il-2 4.12.2m
2) Make sure you meet the game requirements listed above
3) Extract content to your Il-2 directory
4) Then please copy the SFS archives from SAS_SFS to SFS_AUTO folder. By doing this, there is no need to touch the RC file
5) Add the latest Hotfix (if any)
6) Add the aircraft lines below NB: If you are new to modding, please read the following guides:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,15031.0.html
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,1353.0.html
7) If you wish to add the static aircraft, please use the stationary and technics entries AFTER backing up your .inis
 Run Il-2 with SAS ModAct and enjoy

I get stuck at adding the aircrafts lines.  I can't find the plane_ru and weapons_ru files.  Also when adding lines to the Air.INI, I don't get the years of the aircraft in-game.  Where is the plane_ru and weapons_ru files?

[Device6]

Also I put "!SAS_Engine_Mod" in #SAS and jsgmemods then run JSGME to activate it. Does "!SAS_Engine_Mod" need to be in #SAS folder?

[asheshouse]

Are there any scenery mod?

Also do I need Ultra Pack?

By scenery mods do you mean maps? Have a browse in the Mapworks section https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/board,12.0.html
Ultra Pack is not compatible with v4.12.2 and any further development seems to have ceased.
Are your interests mainly for offline use or online?

PATH: #SAS \ STD \ i18n \  ... . properties

In 412.2 plane_ru.properties and weapon_ru.properties are called PLANE.PROPERTIES and WEAPONS.PROPERTIES. Modders will always refer to them as ru files ( Russian game ) because ru files are just for estetics and are not critical. Yes this will provide YEARS info in game. Yes you can write/change what you want in plane.properties; you can create your own plane"ru" lines when modders do not provide them. Excess lines, from removed mods do not matter. It simply says this name: replace it by that name; so it does nothing when "this name" doesn't exist anymore...

Also I put "!SAS_Engine_Mod" in #SAS and jsgmemods then run JSGME to activate it. Does "!SAS_Engine_Mod" need to be in #SAS folder?

I did not use JSGME for installing engine mod. .. and Yes "!SAS_Engine_Mod" needs be in #SAS permanently.
You should have #SAS \ !SAS_Engine_Mod > Any-Mod-By-Any-Name\ 3do... Note the exact placement in this PATH for 3do and for classfiles like 00A5F952A58045D8 : this is the way to verify any mod is placed correctly.
A longer path wont work for any mod.
