Modding Madness - Home of the Fusion Pack

Automatic Back Up For Previous Mods Installation

Starting with FP067, Fusion Pack won't delete your previously installed mods any more. Instead, if mods folders are found they will be renamed and saved.
The three directories that the installer will look for are Mods, Jsgmemods, and Files. If found they will be renamed to mods.bak, jsgmemods.bak, and files.bak.

Fusion Pack Installation

   *************************************    REQUIREMENTS:
   - Windows 2000 or higher. It works on WINE too, but beware of problems that may arise when installing on a *nix system (case sensitive) patches written for Windows(non-case sensitive).
   - IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 v4.07 or higher (up to 4.10.1m)
   *************************************
   INSTALLING FP:
   - Click on the FusionPack-SETUP.exe file. It may be displayed as FusionPack-SETUP with no .exe on some systems (it does NOT have a name ending in .bin, anyway).
   - Point the installer at your IL2 folder (if you don't know where it is, you can probably keep the default)
   - Click 'install'
   - Installation may take several minutes and up to half an hour on some low end PC's
   - Towards the end of the installation procedure, the setup program will spawn a 'DOS Window': DO NOT CLICK IT OFF! Wait for it to close itself (this may take more or less time depending on your PC performance and up to several minutes)
   ***************************************

Fusionizer Installation

   *************************************    REQUIREMENTS:
   - Windows 2000 or higher (works on WINE too)
   - IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 patched up to 4.10.1m
   - HSFX 5.0 or 5.0.1
   *************************************
   INSTALLING Fusionizer:
   - Click on the Fusionizer_Full.part1.exe file.
   - Don't change the installation path. A Setup program will be extracted to a temporary folder, then the installation process should start automatically.
    A full-screen black and red window should pop up (if it doesnt, browse to the FUSIONIZER folder and start the installation manually)
    The Setup program (big red and black window) will ask you where to install.
   - Point the installer at your IL2 folder
   - Click 'install'
   - Installation may take several minutes, especially on low end PC's
   - Towards the end of the installation procedure, the setup program will spawn a 'DOS Window': DO NOT CLICK IT OFF! Wait for it to close itself (this may take more or less time depending on your PC performance and up to several minutes)

storage

       BURNING FP TO DVD
   - FP fits on 2x standard 4.7GB DVDs.
   - Burn on DISK 1:
    - FusionPack-SETUP.exe
    - as many .bin files as you can fit on the DVD

   - Burn on DISK 2:
    - The remaining .bin files
    - upgrade and update packages, if existing (optional)
   - USE A LOW BURNING SPEED! (Not higher than 8x, even better 4x)

   INSTALLING FROM DVD
   - Pop DISK 1 into the tray, click FusionPack-SETUP.exe and install normally
   - You will be prompted to switch disks when appropriate
   - Installation time ~~may~~ will be even longer than installing from files on HDD (and a hell of a lot longer than installing from an SSD), due to optical drives being read more slowly. Have patience.
