IL2 Modifications - Page 18

No none taken.

The AAA group are quite sensible. They only make FM and damage models for new planes created for the mod.

Although I do bristle at them not altering FM models for existing planes that have been made playable I can kind of understand them.

AAA are mainly trying to increase the plane set and the number of maps for IL-2 rather than creat their own version of WWII.

Moving dogfight mod.

since this actually seems to enable AI aircraft in the gametype Dogfight I may have to get back to mission building if its easy as I think it is...seems to me you just have to put in AI's in FMB's save the map as dogfight and it should work
perhaps ground targets like vehicles and ships will get out of sync.

will see what I can manage to do with this...it gives me some nice idea's thought.

Just tried the Zephyr's camera mod that comes with the PAT smoke (or does PAT smoke come with it?

). Nice little mod, good angles available "out of box", fixed side views, views from front to back, view from the wheelwell area (this cool when landing/taking off). And the best thing is, you can put move the camera from these positions anywhere you like, want to see the bombs drop from the bombbay? Just move the camera there and watch the carnage. Of course, starting to play with the camera during the game would be suicidal, so best used with recorded tracks. Easy to use, F8 changes the camera position and F9 chooses between two camera movement options; 1 is forward/back + up/down and the other being for panning.

Sadly, you cant get the most out of this, because you cant get VERY close to the surface of the plane or you'll see right thru the mesh. But a good little mod all the rest.

yea its a good mod,been using it for a while,nice for bomber formations press the f9 and pan round for a good view of the formation,it'll come in handy for movie making

Yeah you read it right, I got the 6DOF mod from AAA to work. Step 1: Download the 6DOF mouse version 07 from the AAA forums, if you have this mod downloaded to your PC skip this. Step 2: Go to the MODS folder in your IL-2 directory and make a new file called 6DOF_mod_v07_sHr. Step 3: copy and which ever version of the mod (lookaround or XY) into the the folder you made. Step 4: go to the new 6DOF folder and open which ever version you placed in the 6DOF mod folder(example Lookaround) then copy and paste the files that are in there and copy and paste the in the 6DOF folder. Step 5: rename the folder 6DOF_Tracker_2_0_sHr and rename it so it has a - infront of it. Step 5: find the IL2VERSIONSWITCHER in your IL-2 folder and enable 4.09b1 Mod with 6DOF and run the game. The new views should work if you follow these directions.

It does seem to screw up the F2 external view though..

Good fun though I could see the smoke mod being used in dogfights to make someone think you have been badly damaged.

Task Force · 03-21-09, 02:48 PM

cool, but I think this should be in the mods thread. (and I dont remember if we are allowed to talk about how to install mods.)

XabbaRus · 03-21-09, 03:01 PM

Hunter will move it.

I read the rules and there is no rule that I'm aware of the prevents the discussion of the installation of mods.

Moved it, but

-We still will not aprove links towards the mods on this forum, also instructions on how to use them and implement them will not be posted.

Similar what I would mean with Installing instructions.. but the line is indeed a bit confusing so I shall edit it and let this thing slip between the fingers.

Task Force · 03-21-09, 05:44 PM

Yea. I knew I had heard that rule somewhere.

Hmmm. Now why is this mod still not working.

(hey Red Max. could you give me the step by step instructions on monday?

)

Kptlt. Neuerburg · 03-21-09, 05:49 PM

Can do Task Force

.

Task Force · 03-21-09, 05:57 PM

Thank you veary much.

Moving dogfight mod

Aaaarg...the AI fighters wont attack human spawned aircraft...

I've confirmed this by reading it over at the AAA,they know about this issue and think they know what causes this ...so fingers crossed they manage to fix this.

Heres a new mod for IL-2 called Forgotten Countries. This mod adds some new countries, as well as new squadrons to the pre-existing countries. Here is an example of a Bf-109E in the "Condor Legion"

If you want more info go to the AAA forums and look in the Beta mod d/l section. And yes this skin came with the mod.
