New 1946 Install & Win 8

[lorenzoj]

Sitting inside while the snow gets cleared away here southwest of Boston. Seemed like a good time to continue with the HSFX 6.0 install.

Copied my whole freshly updated 1946 folder and renamed it with HSFX added to the name.

Ran the first HSFX 6.0 exe file from it's folder and pointed it to my 1946 HSFX directory. It did it's business, running parts 2 and 3 automatically.

Went into the directory root and ran the JSGME switcher program as instructed. Enabled the HSFX History mod. I noticed that there were 10 other mods listed. Which of those do I want to enable ? And what do they do ?

Ran the exe to start the main program. The splash screen showing the HSFX 6.0 designation appeared.

Started a new Finnish Campaign with those funky bi-planes. The overall scenery look has a different "feel" without any one thing jumping out initially. Looks good to me. Sound is greatly improved however. Nice !

On autopilot shortly after takeoff to allow the group to get sorted out into formation the leader in my pair ran into me tearing my wings off and trashing my fuselage. I said "Hmm. This is something new..." At that point the radio voice is ordering me back to base which I'm sort of trying to do but straight down and really fast.

Seemed like a good time to post this update before going back in to explore some more of HSFX. Should be fun !
