1.) Copying of files (depending on your game version):
1a.) Modact 3/4/5 users (IL-2 4.10/4.11/4.12): Extract the contents of this mod to the "#SAS" folder of your game.
1b.) DBW users (IL-2 4.10):                    Extract the contents of this mod to the "#DBW" folder of your game.
1c.) Ultrapack 3 users (IL-2 4.10):            Extract the contents of this mod to the "#UP#" folder of your game.
1d.) HSFX 5/6/7 users (IL-2 4.10/4.11/4.12):   Extract the contents of this mod to the "MODS" folder of your game.
1e.) Modact 2/Ultrapack 2/HSFX 4 users (IL-2 4.09):
                                               Extract the contents of this mod to the "MODS" folder of your game.
                                               Additionally download and install the 4.09 addon pack for this mod.

ATTENTION: You need some kind of "DiffFM" mod installed in your game.
           Modact 5 and DBW ship with DiffFM included by default, others need to make sure to have it installed,
           otherwise your game will crash at 60%.
           
           Some links for DiffFM mods (not comprehensive):
           4.09m:                http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,3988.0.html
           4.10m (incl. UP3):    http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,12169.0.html
           4.11m (incl. HSFX 6): http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,24777.0.html
           HSFX 7:               http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,38980.0.html

2.) Open air.ini (in Modact 5 you find this file at "<Your Game Folder>\#SAS\STD\com\maddox\il2\objects\air.ini",
    for other game versions this may differ, e.g. "<Your Game Folder>\MODS\STD\com\maddox\il2\objects\air.ini").
    Add the following line:

He-177-A3         air.HE_177_A3 2                       NOINFO  g01   SUMMER

3.) Optional: If you'd like to have nicer propeller meshes for screenshots, remove the "-" sign from the name
    of the folder "-He 0177 Screenshot Props" of this mod so that it's name reads "He 0177 Screenshot Props".

4.) Scroll down for further optional .properties file modifications.

This mod provides to you the SAS Flyable Edition of the famous HSFX 7 Heinkel He 177 "Greif".
It features the models "A-3" and "A-5" of the "Greif" with a total of 79 ordnance options.
Care has been taken to keep most of the ordnance options historically accurate.
Some ordnance options are not correct though, they're in this pack for one of two reasons:
1.) They've been in the initial HSFX 7 release of the "Greif" and remain in this pack for backward compatibility
2.) They serve as a stand-in for a very similar historical ordnance option.

This mod fixes a lot of bugs which were part of the initial HSFX 7 "Greif" release, e.g. wrong bomb hooks,
missing outer flaps, flap movement didn't represent the fowler flaps properly, gunners could shoot their own
aircraft, gunner coverage area was wrong, wrong gun types on turrets, bomb bay door touched ventral gun,
ventral gunner didn't change position in his seat, "floating" parts after ground impact, left prop was
rotating right hand erratically, landing light positions were wrong and landing light was not operable,
gear doors remained open when gear was in "locked down" position etc...

This mod implements a new Flight Model with some parameters fine tuned in order to match closer historical
data e.g. for max. ceiling, max speed at altitude etc. and fixes further failures like wrong fuel mass,
missing fire extinguishers etc.

The whole Java code was rewritten and a couple of genuine features have been implemented, e.g. automatic
prop feather (a genuine feature of german late war coupled engines).
All gunner stations are manned and can be operated by AI or manually as you like.

1.) Open plane.properties (Modact 5, can be found at "<Your Game Folder>\#SAS\STD\i18n\plane.properties")
    or plane_ru.properties (other game versions, officially unsupported).

2.) At the end of the file, add the following lines:
   
He-177-A3	           He 177 A-3/A-5, 1943

3.) Open weapons.properties (Modact 5, can be found at "<Your Game Folder>\#SAS\STD\i18n\weapons.properties")
    or weapons_ru.properties (other game versions, officially unsupported).
    
4.) At the end of the file, add the following lines (yes, it's 1264 lines to be added, seriously. We know
    that this is roughly 1/4th of the original stock weapons.properties file size. Trust us: It's worth it.):
