    Hi, 

    I've been reading all these tutorials and they really helped me very much to understand how to install mods and other things. But I keep having the same problem.
    I installed yesterday my Ultra Pack 2.01 in a clean IL-2 4.09m install. I noticed the F-86 uses some other cockpit, so I decided to install the "Freddy_Cockpits_Sabres_HSFX_UP" which I already have in another IL-2 install that uses "SAS Activator V2". I can put to work every mod I get for "SAS Activator V2". No problem here.

    So, about "Freddy_Cockpits_Sabres_HSFX_UP". I downloaded the files and put them in the jsgmemods folder - C:\Program Files\IL-2 Ultra Pack\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\jsgmemods - Then I opened the "Generic Mod Enabler v2.3.1.132" and there I find the "Freddy_Cockpits_Sabres_HSFX_UP", ok so far. I selected it and clicked enable. It does the process and it appears now on the right side of the JSGME window. But when I launch the simulator and fly the F-86, it keeps the same old cockpit, no different one!!!

    I've been reading here and there in the forum but I find no answer to this. Maybe something has escaped my attention.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you

  I just noticed when I enable "Sabre Cockpits from Freddy for HSFX/UP", it creates a folder "3do" inside the main Il-2 folder, with the Cockpit folder inside. Here is the root to make it more specific - C:\Program Files\IL-2 Ultra Pack\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\3do\cockpit\F-86

  So, it seems it's not pointing to the right folder. How do I make it pointing the right folder?

  Thanks

  By the way, I already switched between Ultr@Pack and HSFX, using the Ultr@Pck PSwitcher, and I can't get those nice cockpits in the F-86.

  Thanks

When you put the folder in the JSGME-mods folder, did you make sure that it went JSGME-mods/Files/ and then the mods?
I haven't installed this mod yet in my JSGME version of the game, so I am not sure where it usually asks you to install it to. If you hadn't made the first folder a 'File's folder, then the mod will install to your route-rolder IIRC

   Hi philip.ed, Thank you for your reply.

   I don't have any JSGME-mods folder, only a jsgmemods folder. I don't think I'm following your idea, I guess my english is not so good.

   Here is the root describing the content of the "Sabre Cockpits from Freddy for HSFX/UP" folder:
   C:\Program Files\IL-2 Ultra Pack\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\jsgmemods\Freddy_Cockpits_Sabres_HSFX_UP\3do\cockpit\F-86

   I noticed that inside the Ultr@Pack folder there is a similar way, like this:

   C:\Program Files\IL-2 Ultra Pack\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\Ultr@Pack\3do\cockpit...... where all the other planes are in.

   So, when you say:
   "If you hadn't made the first folder a 'File's folder, then the mod will install to your route-rolder IIRC "
   Do you mean I must first create manually a folder named F-86 inside the cockpit folder?

   Thank you very much

   No, that didn't work either. I created manually a F-86 folder inside the cockpit folder and it installed again in the Il-2 main folder

redbat, put the Freddy's Cockpit folder in your Mods folder, don't try to use it with JSGME. So, it'll read IL-2 Ultra Pack\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\MODS\Freddy_Cockpits_Sabres_HSFX_UP\3do\cockpit\F-86
try that, and let us know. get back to me, please, because i'm also going to split these last posts of your into a new topic in Tech Help, i don't want to fill this guide thread up with one person's problem....

edit: okay, me and crazyflak seemed to be quite in sync on this one....

  HUURRAAHH!!! IT WORKS!!!

  "If you want this to work on jsgme, you need to create a "files" folder inside "Freddy's_cockpit_sabres_HSFX_UP" and then drag the 3do folder and all the classfiles into it. Ready to jsgme use!"

  OOOHH!! That's what philip.ed was trying to tell me!! to create that "Files" folder!!

  I really suck!! My english sometimes makes me go around and around, like a scratched vinyl record, cracking my mind!

  Okay guys, thank you very much on this one
