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 !

Nothing but good things seem to have resulted from the install of HsFx 6, so I figured that I'd go ahead an install the Auto-Updater. That was quick and simple - again just be aware of the correct directory where your 1946 / HsFx mods live.
Now in the process of running the updater which is in the process of downloading 714 mb of stuff. Installation is supposed to be automatic except that at the end you will have to re-activate at least the HsFx history mods through the jsgme.exe utility The professionalism of the crew that puts all this together for the community continues to impress me at every stage Edit: jsgme.exe ran automatically after the updates bringing my version up to HsFx 6.0.17 had been installed . I activated the HsFx History mod and one other, Perfect Map Textures. There were a total of 14 possible mods listed which could be activated. I would like to find out what each one does before just randomly activating them all I think. Missions seem to still load and run fine at this time. Last edited by lorenzoj; 02-10-2013 at 05:50 PM.

On a slightly different but related note, I continue to fiddle with older game installs in Win 8. I installed but could not get the original IL-2 Sturmovik to run. Didn't try very hard but kept getting some memory error... ?
On the other hand, MS Combat Flight Sim 2 from 1998 to 2000 installed and ran without a hiccup. Keeping the age in mind the graphics aren't bad and the gameplay is decent. I was also able to install Just Flight's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight from 2001 on top of MS-CFS2. That was also a very nice piece of work for the time. Remember really nice detailed manuals and docs that you could hold in your hand and prop up on your desk. I almost never had a computer that was really up to running these programs at the time I purchased them. Kinda fun seeing them on a system that far exceeds the required specs. The original Microprose Falcon 4.0 inc the 1.08 final patch installed and runs very well. I have the original 2 1/2 inch thick 3-ring binder version. You can still appreciate the "oh wow" reaction it got at the time and is still appealing today. Edit: Also easily installed the latest SuperPak mods which really add to all aspects of the game. Nice job. A couple of Rowan / Empire titles I have tried so far play the intro screens and setup ok but then go black when you try to run a mission. Last edited by lorenzoj; 02-26-2013 at 03:26 PM.
