The new supermod for Il-2 '46 is now available

[33LIMA 972]

Details of the 'Community Universal Patch' are here...

 

http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,44975.0.html

 

Have just started downloading, using the torrent option.

[MrGoTime 20]

Wow, I had no idea this was in the pipeline. So are there custom campaigns to go along with it? Or is it just using the mission building?

[SayethWhaaaa 245]

Jay-sus!

[33LIMA 972]

This being a new platform based on the TD 4.12 patch, I suspect campaigns compatible with that patch may work fine and that others may, or may need tweaked eg something that played out ok with the old AI, plays out differently with the new and disturbs the flow of the mission. If theis becomes the new standard for Single player IL-2 I expect we'll see plenty of new content or older stuff undated as necessary.

 

Here's the list of maps included in CUP, from the user manual:

Amazing! 

[+Stary 2,427]

Ohhhh... my....

[+Stary 2,427]

ok, I'm on the old DBW install here that goes back to wheee around 2012 or so, 2.09 based IIRC

 

does have one step-by-step-for-dummies how to?

Quoting from the first post in the link above, this seems to be it. the only vaguely tricky bit seems to be ensuring you have a suitable base install, meaning I think Il-2 '46 with the latest official patches then patched to 1.12; then this mod activator thingy (ModAct 5.3). I haven't got that fae yet but it doesn'ty look any tricker than installing DBW. I will be keeping the latter install as well, until CUP has the sort of campaign content that I like with DBW.

 

BEST INSTALL ADVICE:

 

The C.U.P. Modules drop into any install of - Il2/1946 + 412 + SAS MODACT (5.3) and do not effect existing #SAS folders

 

ONLY THE BASIC SAS MODACT 5.3 IS REQUIRED

 

SAS IL-2 4.12.2m Mega Patch

http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,38443.0.html

 

SAS Modact 5.3 for IL-2 4.12.2m

http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,37662.0.html

 

The C.U.P. Modules will be updated in the usual way with subsequent additions, in SFS format, simply applied over the top of the existing install.

 

ALL ADDITIONAL OPTIONS ARE INCLUDED

Many JSGME tweaks and features may easily be added or removed, according to taste, whenever the player wants.  Each is prefixed according to its effects:

#CUP - Universal Option applies feature to all modules

#DOF - Option applies feature to ‘Dawn of Flight’

#WAW - Option applies feature to ‘World at War’

#JTW - Option applies feature to ‘The Jet Age’

 

DO MODULE ONE BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE

Get all nine parts of CUP Module One and UnZIP/UnRAR direct to your Il2 main Directory

 

NEXT APPLY THE FLIGHT ERA MODULES

Get them all or get the one that interests you most first off

Get ALL parts of the next module, currently 4 for DoF and JTW and 7 for WaW

UnZIP/UnRAR direct to your Il2 main Directory

 

Select the new Era with the new Selector and go fly!

[33LIMA 972]

Well, she's up and working. Downloaded the torrents and needed an overnight run for the maps and a few hours for the rest. Isnnstalled the maps and the WW2 package so far, but the sim wouldn't load, crashing at 70%. There's a couple of different fixes for those who get this on the CUP thread at SAS, see post 222 on page 19 - http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,44975.msg504335.html#msg504335Worked for me and I've started flying a few quick missions to see what's what.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So far, so good!

[MrGoTime 20]

Looks magnificent. I have it downloading as we speak.

 

 

Just to be clear - no campaigns have been updated yet, correct? This is (essentially) a planeset/mapset with a quick mission builder?

I think that's right - a 'New, improved' & expanded Il-2 '46 platform.

[33LIMA 972]

Took a little longer to get the WW2 ('Dawn of Flight') and post-WW2 ('The Jet Age') modules working. At first they locked up my PC trying to load the Quick Mission Builder but they work ok now, after following a tip and enambily the (included) 'Mission Pro Combo' mod (which also unlocks many more maps and other extras, in the Quick Mission Builder screen).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway it's all systems go, tho for me Il-2 will always be best for and at WW2.

 

 

 

 

 

[33LIMA 972]

Still going strong. Flying some Italian planes over one of the Spanish maps in a Quick Mission, I found myself statring in the air and having difficulty starting my engine, not using Complex Engine Management so not sure what that was about. Lots of nice scenery to admire, engine turning or not, tho the terrain objects like trees and buildings are still drawn in and out rather close. Below is Badajoz, complete with castle and bullring.

 

 

I haven't played much with 4.12 but the TD artificial intelligence seems somehow more human; fighting Mustangs over the wintry Ardennes in a long-nosed 190 was good fun.

 

 

One of the Amis I knocked down tried to out-zoom climb me twice, stall turning at the top each time, which I don't think I've seen before. Didn't do him much good in the end.
