I posted this here, in the 'Dark Blue World' discussion area, because 'The Full Monty' (TFM) series of Supermods has always been focused on supporting the DBW Project. With DBW2 certain to be based on V4:12 it is time to get up to speed with the latest version of our beloved sim.
TFM-412 will ultimately adapt to and enhance the DBW2 project when it is released. Meanwhile; TFM-412 will attempt to establish a comprehensive working 412 mods platform for all enthusiasts.
TFM-412 THE NEXT LEVEL
Presented with many thanks to my friends and colleagues at SAS1946.com; where it is a privilege to serve. This is clearly the most informed and supportive dedicated Il2 community site and a shining example to all others. Also to my good buddies AG51Hoss, Bravo and RDDR; who have advised on and tested this stuff over more than a year and put up with me on Skype and Email!
Chris created many new skins, for the Asian and European Theatres, and tested the full TFM-412 setup. Mike did a lot of mod compiling and content checking as well as flight testing and working on the Screaming Eagles Over Korea 412 campaign - This will soon be seen in the related TFM-412 Campaign/Missions post. Bravo did a great amount of direct testing, install tweaking and last minute bug-ironing. Thanks for a detailed and thorough job!
Lets not forget the SAS members and forum contributors who have helped to guide many enthusiasts to the path of complete joy that is a full Il2 modset.
THE MODDERS:
Within each separate mod in every set there is a README - All original READMEs have been included. Many are retained from the originals and others have been moved in order to prevent them from being over-written. As so many people work together at SAS, where ideas are often 'cross-fertilised', the list below is an additional acknowledgment of everyone involved. Our sincere thanks go out to the whole Il2 community.
TFM-412 also presents full and complete credit for every freeware mod used, in these posts, throughout this thread, in the documentation with each set and on the illustrations that accompany each set. If anyone is aware of a missing or incomplete credit in any part of TFM-412 please PM me; Monty27, either at SAS, M4T or the FM site, with any additional details to be included and I will ammend any offending credits ASAP.
THE VASTLY IMPROVED WORLD OF 412
UPDATED CODE
Everything about Il2-412 makes it look and feel like a new sim. Of special note here is SAS Modact 5.3, the best Modact so far, built with full AI support and a screen randomiser and presentation that towers above other flightsim programs.
BETTER FLIGHT FORMATION CONTROL
Even from a straight update; the improved 4:12.2m FMB is incredible. Aircraft can now start anywhere you place them and taxi into position. Takeoff can be set to single, pairs or line abreast; Battle of Britain style. Once in flight all waypoints specify a formation type and mission role.

THE VASTLY IMPROVED WORLD OF 412
UPDATED CODE
Everything about Il2-412 makes it look and feel like a new sim. Of special note here is SAS Modact 5.3, the best Modact so far, built with full AI support and a screen randomiser and presentation that towers above other flightsim programs.
BETTER FLIGHT FORMATION CONTROL
Even from a straight update; the improved 4:12.2m FMB is incredible. Aircraft can now start anywhere you place them and taxi into position. Takeoff can be set to single, pairs or line abreast; Battle of Britain style. Once in flight all waypoints specify a formation type and mission role.
IMPROVED AIRCRAFT STARTUP
Seaplanes may now be placed on any stretch of open water for Takeoff/Taxi and even launched from Destroyers (See the Mods). FMB Objects are labelled more clearly too, in fact, the improved FMB alone, renders all previous Il2 editions completely obselete for me! (Thanks Hoss, you 'told me so'!)
BETTER PERFORMANCE
Performance is improved across the board as old memory leaks and java errors have been dramatically reduced and tidied up. The scenery looks better and the lighting and water is much improved (ship wakes are really pretty).
UNLIMITED STATICS
Statics can be created from parked AI, which gives us a parked version of EVERY aircraft in the sim; each of which can also be individually skinned in FMB for each mission. In addition to that Mission Bug's new Static Aircraft Mod leaves nothing out!
DYNAMIC SCENERY
In addition to statics, ANY aircraft in the sim may be used as a taxiing aircraft in the scenery, for added ambience, eye candy and realistic hazards. The takeoff itself is no longer restricted to runways, hidden or otherwise! In 412, Helos can start/liftoff from forest clearings and Battle of Britain fighters line up 9/12/15 abreast on any handy looking flat-ground and smoothly (no sudden chock-jumping anymore) move into position and takeoff together. This allows for the creation of improvised strips and temporary FBOs.
THE FUTURE
Looking at so many marvelous mods, across a range of disciplines, it is clear that 412 allows for a greater expansion with more possibilities. It was a hard decision to make at first, but ultimately a great leap forward for all players who take the plunge. TFM-412 is designed to make it easy for anyone to aquire an extensively modded 412 install with a reasonable number of sequential downloads. There are 24 TFM-412 Packs and a number of non-sequential JSGME Options, or Switches.
4:101 IS OBSELETE (IMHO)
The new FMB, especially 'Formation Control', 'Taxi to Park' and 'Dynamic Scenery' represents a quantum leap for mission builders. With these features written into FMB missions (and to be expanded to QMB and DGen) Il2/1946 now feels like a proper flightsim as well as a great shoot-em-up ride. Try 412 and you will quickly see there is no going back!
A MODERN FLIGHTSIM
Taxiing AI and parked AI scattered about the scenery bring your airfields to life and make our dear old Il2 feel like a modern Flightsim with a busy environment. At this point it is down to the mission designers to manually place these features using their imagination and experience.
TFM-412 ADDONS
On top of the vast improvement that is V4:12.2m - TFM-412 adds CY6 Command and Control for in-flight mission goals and interaction, GCI, SAR and many other features. Also added are extra airfield and ambient sounds, from CY6 and Stuka40, plus many of our favourite maps, new aircraft, ships, objects and sounds. The latest SAS Engine Mod 2.7 is fully integrated for implimentation of Catapults, Jet Engines and more complex 412 prop conversions, such as Claymore's FWs.
