Thanks for the heads-up on this Buzzsaw.

4.09 Final is a fantastic job, but I did miss the modded sounds and 6DOF.
Now with this HSFX, I have everything. Plus a load of things I didn't expect.

Installed without probs. Nice one Buzz Thumbs Up

Guys, discussing the mods is allowed. Specific help on installing, running, fixing, deleting, etc is not. Please abide by the rules or this thread may have to go bye-bye.

Sorry if it's been mentioned before, but can you add individual mods over this install?

I've been testing the HSFX Mod and i like it very much.
However i found a little discrepancy, the speed of the Bf109 F1 and F2.
Here is a little chart i've made:


Bf109 E1 with Mod 450 km/h

Bf109 E3 Original 500 km/h

Bf109 E4 with Mod 450 km/h without Mod 450 km/h

Bf109 E7/N with Mod 444 km/h

Bf109 E//Z with Mod 446 km/h without Mod 450 km/h

Bf109 F1 with Mod 435 km/h Original 486 km/h

Bf109 F2 with Mod 428 km/h without Mod 480 km/h Original 486 km/h

Bf109 F4 with Mod 479 km/h without Mod 480 km/h Original 526 km/h

Bf109 F5 with Mod 471 km/h

This date was gathered offline in the QMB, Moskau 1 Map with 100% Fuel
cooling flaps auto (same flight time for all)
Start in 1000 m, split s to 300m throttle advanced from 0 to 100% and waited for stabilized speed.
Sorry i couldn't do a nice chart here.
I think the F1 and the F2 should be considerably faster than the Emils!
The Original Data is from Kurfurst's page and flown with take off power,
that might be 110%.

Hi mate, I need clarification on this, I think I was misunderstood earlier

All I was saying is "what if I needed to alter or mod a texture of a cockpit?"

after this install I can override the SFS and instead load a folder of a mod?

As i understand it, anything you place in the mods folder, will overwrite the complied mods.

Its certainly worked for the few i've felt the need to add like the widescreen and orig qmb mod(i think its better than the 4.09 version.)

However, i imagine it's probally impossible to add planes themselves, because that needs a change to the compiled buttons file.

I've been extensively testing all new Stangs in 1.2 mods against the older ones. I just keep doing a QMB where I lead 4 Stangs against 4 Bf-109K4's and keep changing to different Mustangs to see if I notice much difference or do better with the newer Mustangs. Me and my 4 AI flight mates do as well with the old Mustangs as with the new ones. I fly with 25% fuel and notice a slight improvement in handling but not enough to make a difference. Stalling and snapping and other quirks is not a problem for me since I always fly the Mustang smoothly and never hamfist her. I never push it past the envelope it's capable of. The newer ones wobble a little less than before. You can get your guns stabilized on target about a second faster on average.

So for this reason, the new ones don't help me that much. Apparently it has little if any effect on the way the AI fly them also.

But is flying with 25% fuel realistic? IRL a Mustang pilot would well be on his way home at that point. If he wanted to get home that is. For my money that is the beauty of the newer Mustangs. You can fight them with a real life fuel load and still not suffer from the problems of the original IL2 P-51s.

First, let me congratulate the creators of this mod for their fine work. I downloaded the package via bit torrent in about 2.5 hours. The installation worked the first time, something that has not happened for me with the other mod packs. For the "tinkering challenged" like me this is a real treat! Thumbs Up

The game runs well and sounds fine too, even in mono.

On the other hand, and please don't take this as negative criticism, nice as they are, I still prefer the original cockpits and terrain textures.

So for me HSFX4 is a 9.5/10. Nice work! Clap


Good hunting,

Mmmm now this looks like a fantastic mod package,I really like the New engine mod with extra torque and warm up times needed.
As soon as U.I. 1.2 is 4.09 compatible I'm gunna try and install both into an install and create an ultimate offline capaign version! mwahahahaha

Great work to all involved bow Thumbs Up

Yeah but that second can mean the difference between making a shot and missing a shot.. That's what I like about them.. They only seem to correct the one quirk.. well the 2 quirks in the stock ponies if you consider the belting.. They don't turn the plane into a UFO.. or an UBER weapon.. in the hands of a hamfisted beginner (or vet for that matter) it is still a death trap.. but it is just a bit more stabel and in line with the historic Mustang.. which was all I ever wanted..

Yeah I always thought that torque/warm up thing was great..

Don't know about anyone else but i've got two new favorite planes from hsfx, which are new to me, having never had the ultrapack. And thats the fw190a2 and more surprisingly to me,the hurricane mk1b, it rocks big time, i prefer it to the spits at the moment.
