Installed HSFX 6.0 correctly. Opened the JSGME file in my IL2 folder. Flicked the HSFX history mod over to the right (with nothing else there).

Double click on the IL2 desktop icon...and goes straight into normal IL2 with 4.11.1 (i.e no HSFX splash screen). I can still play the game but isn't there supposed to be an updated HSFX interface???

Any ideas?

Yes there is......

OK, downloads, there are 3 HSFX Executables and 9 files to be downloaded and ALL 9 files must be in the same folder. Once you have these files double-click the Part1 Executable and stand back and watch! It will activate the other 2 executables as needed and install all 9 files. You are now at HSFX 6.0

Install the patch to update to 6.0.1 and then the Micro fix to go to 6.0.11

Now, download and install the Auto Updater. During the install you will be asked to either install or repair C++ Redistributable...this is a MUST. Do it!

Now that the Auto Updater is installed, open your Main IL-2 folder and find the HSFX_Client_Updater.exe. Double click and run it. It will take you from 6.0.11 to the current 6.0.16. It is a 539 Meg d'load and will take 2-3 hours!

You are finally ready to open the JSGME.exe GUI and move 'HSFX history mod' from left to right.

Seriously, if it doesn't run....YOU did something wrong!

Check the game runs at this point
Should start with HSFX screen showing v6.0
