Hallo.

Ich habe mir doch das Dark Blue World installiert. Nun habe ich fest gestellt, das bei Missionen in denen die Sprecher ( ...."Gut gemacht, 7. Ein toller Schuss"...etc. ), sehr viel im Einsatz sind, es zu Ruckler kommt.

Nun wollte ich eventuell wissen ob jemand von Euch, dieses Phänomän auch schon bemerkt hat ?
Oder ob die Betreffenden eventuell sogar schon eine Lösung für dieses Problem gefunden haben ?

Wäre schön von Euch, wenn Ihr mir da weiterhelfen könntet. Und möchte mich schon mal im vorraus für die Mühe und Hilfe bedanken.

Zu meinem System:

Intel Q9550

Mainboard ist ein ASROCK mit 8 GB DDR 3 Ram

Grafikkarte ist eine Nvidia 570 GTX 1,.... GB

PS: Ich sollte noch erwähnen das DBW auf einer Externen Festplatte via USB 3.0 installiert ist.


Noch eine schöne Fasnachtszeit



MfG

This is a 7-mission static semi-historical mini-campaign showing exploits of the British fighter ace and writer Roald Dahl throughout his brief fighter pilot career in 1941.

This campaign was built on the Dark Blue World 1.6 (but should work with 1.7 and higher), which is a build on Ultrapack 3. (Could work for UP3RC4 on condition that you install the Middle East map by Nounette. This map is in DBW 1.6 (1.7), but not in UP3RC4.

Roald Dahl, a fighter ace
In November 1939, Dahl joined the Royal Air Force as an Aircraftman. After a 600-mile (970 km) car journey from Dar-es-Salaam to Nairobi, he was accepted for flight training with 16 other men, of whom only two others survived the war. With seven hours and 40 minutes experience in a De Havilland Tiger Moth, he flew solo; Dahl enjoyed watching the wildlife of Kenya during his flights. He continued to advanced flying training in Iraq, at RAF Habbaniya, 50 miles (80 km) west of Baghdad. He was promoted to Leading Aircraftman on 24 August 1940. Following six months' training on Hawker Harts, Dahl was made an Acting Pilot Officer.

He was assigned to No. 80 Squadron RAF, flying obsolete Gloster Gladiators, the last biplane fighter aircraft used by the RAF. Dahl was surprised to find that he would not receive any specialised training in aerial combat, or in flying Gladiators. On 19 September 1940, Dahl was ordered to fly his Gladiator from Abu Sueir in Egypt, on to Amiriya to refuel, and again to Fouka in Libya for a second refuelling. From there he would fly to 80 Squadron's forward airstrip 30 miles (48 km) south of Mersa Matruh. On the final leg, he could not find the airstrip and, running low on fuel and with night approaching, he was forced to attempt a landing in the desert. The undercarriage hit a boulder and the aircraft crashed, fracturing his skull, smashing his nose and temporarily blinding him.He managed to drag himself away from the blazing wreckage and passed out. Later, he wrote about the crash for his first published work.

Dahl was rescued and taken to a first-aid post in Mersa Matruh, where he regained consciousness, but not his sight, and was then taken by train to the Royal Navy hospital in Alexandria. There he fell in and out of love with a nurse, Mary Welland. An RAF inquiry into the crash revealed that the location to which he had been told to fly was completely wrong, and he had mistakenly been sent instead to the no man's land between the Allied and Italian forces.

In February 1941, Dahl was discharged from hospital and passed fully fit for flying duties. By this time, 80 Squadron had been transferred to the Greek campaign and based at Eleusina, near Athens. The squadron was now equipped with Hawker Hurricanes. Dahl flew a replacement Hurricane across the Mediterranean Sea in April 1941, after seven hours flying Hurricanes. By this stage in the Greek campaign, the RAF had only 18 combat aircraft in Greece: 14 Hurricanes and four Bristol Blenheim light bombers. Dahl saw his first aerial combat on 15 April 1941, while flying alone over the city of Chalcis. He attacked six Junkers Ju-88s that were bombing ships and shot one down. On 16 April in another air battle, he shot down another Ju-88.

On 20 April 1941, Dahl took part in the "Battle of Athens", alongside the highest-scoring British Commonwealth ace of World War II, Pat Pattle and Dahl's friend David Coke. Of 12 Hurricanes involved, five were shot down and four of their pilots killed, including Pattle. Greek observers on the ground counted 22 German aircraft downed, but because of the confusion of the aerial engagement, none of the pilots knew which plane they had shot down. Dahl described it as "an endless blur of enemy fighters whizzing towards me from every side".

In May, as the Germans were pressing on Athens, Dahl was evacuated to Egypt. His squadron was reassembled in Haifa. From there, Dahl flew sorties every day for a period of four weeks, shooting down a Vichy French Air Force Potez 63 on 8 June and another Ju-88 on 15 June, but he then began to get severe headaches that caused him to black out. He was invalided home to Britain. Though at this time Dahl was only an Acting Pilot Officer, in September 1941 he was simultaneously confirmed as a Pilot Officer and promoted to Flying Officer.

UberDemon's Quick (Aircraft) Mod Installer (UQMI) for UP3RC4
------------------------------------------------------------
by UberDemon, 19 February 2012

Let's face it, installing new plane MODs in IL-2 1946 can be a pain, especially having to modify the "ini" and "properties" files. This little set of batch files provides a crude way to help us through our struggle. UQMI complements JSGME.


COMPATIBILITY
=============
UQMI only works with UltraPack (UP) 3 RC 4:
http://ultrapack.il2war.com/index.php

It is also compatible with Self-Static planes from SAS~Epervier, if available.
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/t ... 399.0.html

For aircraft that need DiffFM, you will need that installed as well. You can find a working version for UP3RC4 here:
http://uberdemon.sushicereal.com/dzzmods/UPDiffFM.zip

Always install the latest "buttons" file from SAS from here:
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,97.0.html

It could theoretically work with Dark Blue World or HistoMod, or ModAct, but keeping multiple versions is a challenge, and in the case of DBW, the way the Air.ini is setup with dividers, it just does not work well for automatic updates. If somebody wants to modify this to work with those modpacks, have at it.


DISCLAIMER
==========
UQMI is not sophisticated, but I figure a quick solution is welcome. I have been using it personally for about 2 months and it works suprisingly well. Installing and uninstalling planes is much easier now.

This is meant for people who are adept at manipulating files in their computer. Be warned that editing files in your simulator may cause it to crash and never start again. If you do not feel comfortable with this, you may want to have multiple installations so that you can experiment with MODs, or you may simply not wish to use it. I am not responsible for any happiness or grief resulting from the use of this utility. Use as is. This utility contains NO malicious logic such as viruses, malware and such, and will NOT collect any personal information from your computer or your network, but using batch files can be unforgiving.


CONCEPT AND GENERAL USE
=======================
Assuming that most of the people who install their MODs do so through the JSGME interface, then you can install a new mod by creating a package that mimics the folder structure of your mod pack. Here I will only cover UltraPack (UP 3 RC 4), the most popular mega-set for MODs for '1946; it has arguably the best GUI, and it is a nice balance between HistoMod which is made for Online play, and Dark Blue World (DBW) which is for Offline only.

That is fine and dandy, but you still have to edit files like "air.ini", "plane.properties", "plane_ru.properties", etc. And as you remove the mods you have to keep track of what version of your files you are in, potentially causing CTDs (Crash to Desktop) when loading '46.

I created a set of BATCH files, yes, good old DOS-like legacy ".bat" files, to take care of this problem in a semi crude way, but it still works. Let's say a MODder creates a MOD package for JSGME, and includes the UQMI files, then all you would have to do after you installed the MOD through GME is to go to the "jsgmemods" folder in the IL-2 1946 folder, then go to the MOD's folder and subsequently to the "documentation" folder.

The "documentation" folder of the MODs in GME does not get installed or moved. Go there and run the proper batch file ("UP_installWithUQMI.bat") and VIOLA!!! I mean VOILA!!! Your config files are updated with the new airplane (or airplanes, because it can handle multiple aircraft packs).

And if you want to remove the mod, then remove it through GME as usual, then return to the "documentation" folder of the same MOD and run the "restore" utility ("UP_restoreLast.bat").

WARNING: For most cases, only uninstall from the most recent to the oldest, otherwise you may create an unstable environment requiring uninstalling and re-installing MODs. You could always uninstall a bunch of mods, say the last 5 mods with aircraft then just run "restore" from the last one you removed... that will work fine as well.

All UQMI packages install to one MOD directory, so they are all consolidated.


WHAT UQMI DOES
==============
UQMI needs JSGME to work. Once you install the core files with JSGME, then you use UQMI to update "ini" and "properties" files.

When you run UQMI, it takes some information from a few text files, then it inserts them in the proper files so that the new airplane will be available in IL-2.

The most important update it does is to Air.ini. It basically inserts the new plane in alphabetical order based on what team is its default (1 = Red/Allies, 2 = Blue/Axis according to original IL-2 configuration), it then reorganizes Air.ini in the following manner:

1) Red Team aircraft from A-Z based on the code abbreviation for the plane (not the text display)
2) Blue Team aircraft from A-Z based on same criteria above
3) Red Team Aces from A-Z based on same criteria above
4) Blue Team Aces from A-Z based on same criteria above

If information is available for Text display, weapons and self-static is included, then it will update those as well.

UQMI will update both default English files and "_ru" files, that way you don't have to worry about it.

Finally, it creates a backup of the last version of the "ini" and "properties" files.

If you uninstall a UQMI mod, then the uninstallation process restore the last version of "ini" and "properties" prior to aircraft mod being installed.


REQUIREMENTS
============
I - A PC running IL-2 1946 Modded with:

* UltraPack UP3RC4

II - MOD Folder installed and ready to go for your mod package:

* #UP# for UP3RC4 (if you have not done any MODs to UP, look at the UP installation files and you will find "#UP#SampleFolder.rar" - make sure you extract its contents to the IL-2 1946 folder)


DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION
=========================
Download core UQMI installation from:
http://uberdemon.sushicereal.com/dzzmod ... es/UQMI.7z

UQMI works best if you start from UP3RC4 stock settings. You will see that there are plenty of UQMI packs I created that you can use already and you will be able to convert your favorite plances to UQMI sets very easily.

If you have other planes installed, please uninstall them, through JSGME, and return UP3RC4 to its stock configuration. You DO NOT need to worry about other MODs as long as they do not use the "air", "stationary", "technics", "plane" and "weapons".

Extract the contents of the installation file you downloaded to the root directory of IL-2 1946. It will not overwrite anything so click "Yes" to anything Windows ask.

Go to the "jsgmemods" folder in Windows explorer. Note there are three new folders there:
1) #0_UP_UQMI_PlaneHolderDONT_REMOVE
- Creates a location for all UQMI Mods

2) #0_UP_UQMI_INIFilesDONT_REMOVE
- Backs up UP3RC4 files (through GME)
- Copies Air.ini files which fix issues with original UP3RC4 stock planes
- Copies "stationary", "technics", "plane" and "weapons" files from stock UP3RC4
- "stationary" and "technics" have self-stationary plane parameters

3) #UP_UQMI_Plane_NewIL2I(UQMISample)
- Sample Mod to try UQMI. It lincludes a MOD I previously released with the IL-2I with bomb loads, as historically it was able to carry (50/100/250Kg bombs). If you install my SuperAddon later, make sure you remove this, as it already includes it.

Start JSGME. Install following JSGME mods (using ">" button) in order:
1) Install #0_UP_UQMI_PlaneHolderDONT_REMOVE
2) Install #0_UP_UQMI_INIFilesDONT_REMOVE

Close JSGME.

The basic infrastructure is now installed.


INSTALLING YOUR FIRST MOD PLANE
===============================

Start JSGME. Install the following JSGME mod (using ">" button):
* #UP_UQMI_Plane_NewIL2I(UQMISample)

Close JSGME.

In Windows explorer go to "jsgmemods" folder in the IL-2 1946 folder. Now go to folder "#UP_UQMI_Plane_NewIL2I(UQMISample)"; then go to "documentation" folder.

**** IMPORTANT ****** READ BELOW ********
IF IL-2 1946 is NOT installed in default "C:\Program Files (x86)" or "C:\Program Files" in Win Vistal or 7 then follow CASE 1. (The easier CASE)

IF IL-2 1946 is installed in default "C:\Program Files (x86)" or "C:\Program Files" in Win Vistal or 7 then follow CASE 2. (I highly recommend installing IL-2 1946 anywhere but in that directory, because it is impossible to edit files in those directories without Windows giving you every grief possible.)

*** CASE 1
* Double Click on the proper installation batch file to run UQMI (UP_installWithUQMI.bat for UltraPack UP3RC4)
* Start IL-2 1946 and go play.


*** CASE 2
* Copy the file "cmd.exe" from "C:\Windows\System32" folder into the current "documentation" folder for your MOD - this is the executable that opens a command prompt DOS window
* Right click on "cmd.exe" and "Run as Administrator" - you HAVE to do this!
* DOS window opens in the "documentation" directory
* Type the name of the proper installation batch file to run UQMI then press Enter ("UP_installWithUQMI" for UltraPack UP3RC4)
* Start IL-2 1946 and go play.

For evey UQMI MOD you install, you would do these steps.


UNINSTALLING SAMPLE MOD
=======================
Start JSGME. Uninstall/Remove the following JSGME mod (using "

Historical skins for Royal Yugoslav Airforce (RYAF or JKRV) IK-3 fighters
Based on Agracier's excellent template, with the colors revised, and the weathering toned down considerably
(In JKRV service, these machines had a very high level of maintenance, and were thoroughly cleaned after every flight)

SKINPACK #1
IK-3 fighters produced in the prewar overall gray scheme (prototype and 1st series)

[Image: 15022012-20-58-01.jpg]

Download from Mediafire
Also available at Mission4today

SKINPACK #2
IK-3 fighters produced in the wartime camouflage (including overpainted machines of the 1st series)

[Image: 15022012-20-58-02.jpg]

Download from Mediafire
Also available at Mission4today

-Both packs include blank skins-
Just drop them in a skin folder named IK-3

Colors and markings done as close as possible to real machines based on my research
However, 100% accuracy cannot be guaranteed by anyone, due to scarse references
