Afraid I can only answer the first question. You can add any Mods you want to HSFX 4.0. You add them exactly the way you added Mods before. It simply overwrites the default HSFX function.

The only thing you cannot add, as far as I can tell, is new planes. These would require an updated buttons file. However, if you're willing to wait, I expect a patch will be forthcoming to add more of the new planes that are in UI 1.2.

Thanks 'Prof'

Whether I like it or not AAA seem to have been adopted by the servers we like to fly on in Hyperlobby, i.e. 'full' or 'nearly full' switch, preferably with some configuration control which is why I like CRT=2. Where would we find HSFX 4.0 servers of a similar standard? We are server whores and like to move around a few favourite servers

Just one more thing. I read in this Topic that HSFX 4.0 should be installed over a clean 4.09m but I also read that HSFX 4.0 can be installed over AAA 1.2 and it would remove AAA Mods and Files folders and leave the HSFX 4.0 install 'clean' and also switchable to vanilla 4.09m. The reason I ask is IL2-1946 CD doesn't give me the Install option (to create a second installation for HSFX) when it already exists on my PC, even if I rename the existing game folder. So I am faced with simply copying my existing 4.09m/AAA1.2 installation and installing HSFX 4.0 over that. I am not clear if this would work. Any advice?

easiest way to install HSFX v4 is over clean 4.09m, so if you have two installs 4.08m/409b1m/409m and AAA UI 1.2, I suggest that you copy your clean install of 408m/409b1m/409m to another folder, install 4.09m official patch over it and then install HSFX v4 into that folder.

Alternative way if you have only one install of AAA UI 1.2 is to copy that folder to another location, use switcher to apply 4.08m, install 4.09m and then install HSFX v4 on top (HSFX installer will delete files and mods folder automatically)


@Murph
patch will be forthcoming, creators of HSFX decided that AAA should have exclusive on this new planes (not to steal their thunder :)), I believe that all files are already included in SFS archives but not yet enabled in java....

cheers

Brillant package gents well done.

Minor Bug.

Cmicro, I would like to join your DCS server. It looks that I get a runtime error too. Once in a while I can get in and see the chat lines asking me to check the mod package. Please confirm that your server currently running ONLY the HSFX History mod.

thanks

I'll try the second route

Hi Kadin, it seems that we have a problem with CRT=2 on our server, there is some kiund of memory leak in mod package at the moment so the server works fine after restart and for some time after...., but after a few hours it starts giving timeout 1 errors with valid installs. we are investigating this, the fix will come out with first HSFX v4 patch in some time....

for now, I'll try and restart server regularly so you can try and join next few hours if you see this..., server will always run only HSFX mod for hosting, and all info about availability can be seen on already provided link...

cheers

...and also I have just discovered by playing around with my server that if the command line: (builder.PlMisMods) exists in the bldconf.ini of one machine it makes CRT=2 compliance impossible!!

I reproduced this in your machine too, just a few minutes ago. When my client has the line I get timed out. Otherwise, without the line, I was able to connect and issue commands and select missions.

A very thoughtfull addition, that mod, by the way. Secretly I wish for another command to be protected by the FMB mission saving: briefSound

Good luck with the memory leak.
Thanks for responding.
