Hack,
I've looked through my old files and see you sent me 4.10.1m clean install last time.
Can I go to HSFX7 from it also ... Stecher said we need 4.11 stock?!!!!

Make another copy of that 4.11.1m and patch it to 4.12.2 ,Then put HSFX 7 over it. That's what I did. Then drop the auto updater into that IL2 folder and you can use it to update to HSFX 7.01. (which I have not done yet).
I did not patch over HSFX 6.017 altho they say you can....

I put up all the links in the Admin News section. But I'll just list them all here too, along with uTorrent if you need it. Assuming everyone at this point has a 4.11.1 UNMODDED install backed up from when we went to HSFX 6. Here's everything you need from there. 4.12 mediafire.com/?2af5vj4fow3b5f7Extract the zip, then run the exe pointed to the main IL-2 directory. 4.12.1 www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&get=4371&mirror=6795Extract the rar, then run the exe pointed to the main IL-2 directory. 4.12.2 mediafire.com/download/5p6jomi38itw8fo/Il2_412_2_INT.exeRun the exe pointed to the main IL-2 directory. uTorrent www.utorrent.com/downloads/complete/os/winIf you don't already have a torrent program to download HSFX 7 with, you can use this. Run the exe to install the program. Pay attention to any extra crap it tries to install during the process. Don't accept their "special offer", don't install the browser bar, or anything else you don't need. Just uncheck the extra stuff and install the basic program. HSFX 7 (torrent file) www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&get=1785&mirror=2807After downloading the torrent file, run it with whatever torrent program you have. Make sure all the HSFX files being downloaded by the torrent are put into a folder where they are together. Then run the HSFX_Version_7_0.EXE file, pointed to the main IL-2 directory. HSFX 7 Auto Updater dl.dropbox.com/u/26976891/HSFX_Auto_Updater.EXEPlace this exe into your main IL-2 directory, and run it from there. It will create HSFX_Client_Updater.exe. This is the actual updater. Run this and it will take you up to 7.0.1.

When you guys complete the process, make sure you are getting the proper version in the bottom left of the loading screen. Something went bad with my first time through. I had just finished getting it to 4.12.1 with HSFX 7 and then noticed that they released the 7.0.1 updater that made it work with 4.12.2 a couple hours earlier. When I run the JSGME program, it seems to work, but I can't close it. It won't let me, throwing up some error instead. I have to use Task Manager to End Now. My version said 4.12.1 with HSFX 7, which was right. But now, after installing 4.12.2 and running the updater for HSFX 7.0.1, my loading screen still says 4.12.1 and HSFX 7. My JSGME still won't let me close it. And when I tried loading the game with Expert Mode, or the Unlocked FMB for modding maps, it crashes. So I'll have to restart from my stock 4.11.1 backup and try again. If you guys get it working, or run into any similar issues, let us know.

Sorry, I missed the last step. When you run the HSFX_Auto_Updater.EXE inside your main directory, all that does is install the actual updater exe. That doesn't do the updating. It will create HSFX_Client_Updater.exe. Running that will actually update you to 7.0.1. I'll correct the above steps.
That explains my version tag while loading, but it wasn't my main issue with the crashed loading attempts or the JSGME error. Something must have been corrupted in the original HSFX 7 install. On my second full attempt, JSGME works properly now, and it doesn't crash with Expert Mode. Getting 4.12.2 and HSFX 7.0.1 tags.

Crap! Everything seems right otherwise, but it's crashing on me when I try to load the Unlocked FMB mod. Can't find anything online about this happening to other people.

I just got everything up and running without much fuss, though I haven't tried joining a server yet.
The only weird thing is my HSFX 7 updater installer threw an error telling me my version of Microsoft Visual C++ was too new and it would not let me continue. However, it still put the "HSFX_Client_Updater.exe" in my game folder. When I ran that, it downloaded an update and did its thing.
When I load the game, it says IL2 4.12.2 HSFX 7.0.1, so it looks like all is well.

crap! I started over from 4.10.1m. used 4.11.1 ultra to save a couple steps. Same crap happens. Ran 6.0.17 all is perfect. 7.01 is porked. Not sure what to do. Re download 7.0 with torrent and try again maybe. I thought using torrent would get you un-corrupted files tho.... Maybe try re-downloading all 4.12 stuff as well. Everything up to 6.017 worked like a champ so there is a prob from that point on tired of screwing with it, thats for sure

Hey Hackl,
Let me know if you keep having issues. Maybe I can send you a DVD copy of my whole updated il2 folder since I know it works on my end.

Restarted from scratch from 4.07 thru 4.12.2 then 7.0 and 7.01 w/ auto updater. using Stechers links above. Installed my conf ini from 6.017 and User file. Freakin same thing ugh! Flicker show and weird textures. I did not try re downloading the torrent, but that is what I am suspecting might be the issue right now.

AH-HA-HA-HA!!!! boo-ya eureka! I figured it out by chance. compare my good version to new one and found atioglxx.dll was not in there. when I ran game after doing this all was happy I remember vaguely something being said about this file when I upgraded video drivers a while back and going thru similar crap. Figured it out by patching from beginning, restarting computer and doing a QMB each time. Right from the start something was wrong.So it had nothing to do with patching but seemed more a conflict with video drivers. Then it came to mind about that file. I installed this file in all my spare copies of il2 so it'll be there next time. Lesson learned
