Missing Batch files - zulu64 - 09.02.2009

The bat files listed below are referred to in the UI1.1 Readme
I have searched the whole folder system and cannot find them.
I cant see them inside the UI 1.1 RAR and Exe files either.

_MKII_GYRO_On.bat (MKII Gyro Gunsight enabled)
_MKII_GYRO_Off.bat (Standard Gunsight enabled)

_EAX_OFF.bat (EAX OFF or EAX Non-Compatible)
_EAX_ON.bat (EAX ON or EAX Compatible)

I have searched the whole folder system and cannot find them.
I cant see them inside the UI 1.1 RAR and Exe files either.

Hi!

I installed per instructions IL-2:1946 -> 4.08m -> AAA 1.1 and it runs fine, but there are some problems..

1) I also miss those files mentioned above, eax and gunsight.
2) I can enable for example 4.09 with mods but can NOT switch back to 4.08m no modded (for example) with the batch files in the IL2 folder. Pops the cmd window but that's it.
3) IL2VersionSwitcher gives an error that it can't find files. The _Game Switcher folder is there with the respective mod/unmodded versions inside.

Any help mucho appreciated

Given these Batch files are missing from the UI 1.1 can someone tell me how I get the standard reflector site back on the Spitfires that are given the Gyro sight by default in UI 1.1 ?


For the Gyro sight makers the symbolgy displayed by the K14 and the MKII Gyro are identical.
The MKII Gyro did not have the standard no Gyro reticle as is shown in this mod. In short what we should see is the same as the K14. If the makers are interested in improving the sight I have a combat employment manual for the British MKII Gyro sight.

Ideally an additional mode should be available that displays the small fixed cross (Gun Bore Line refrence) and the gyro reticle. "FIXED+GYRO" with the blanking lever selected. This then allows much easier sight handling and control of Gyro reticle movement on to the desired aimpoint. This should have been included with the original k14 in IL2.

There were 4 Basic display modes for the MKII Gyro Gunsight. The only time the GYRO reticle was displayed on its own was in the GYRO DAY or GYRO NIGHT position.

Hi!

I tried again and went to uninstall IL2 and AAA, then made a fresh install + added AAA 1.1 per instructions. Still it goes to version 4.09mb1 + mods, but can not revert back to 4.08m without mods or any other version using the batch files. I had to rename AAA 1.1's "files.SFS + il2fb.exe" and copy/paste original 4.08m exe+ sfs to the il2 root to get it work. Any suggestions why not working? Other squadmate says the version switcher works as well, for me only gives the error not finding the folder..that is there!

I am now beginning to believe it might be Windows 7 beta causing this. IL2 runs fine and all though on it. Comments?

Hmm..Ok, this is quite embarrassing. I got it to work now. HAd to give VersionSwitcher Administrator privileges = works. Damn this..XP had none of this stuff Wink

There was never an answer about the indicated missing batch files in 1.1.

So, what's the deal? Does anybody know?

- BlueLion - 02.03.2009

It is not only missing the batch files, the directory those batch files use to copy files from aren't included either.

Within AAA UI1.0 these directories are located in:
IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\files\EAXOFF\
IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\files\EAXON\
IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\files\MKII_Gyro_On\

However, the size of both directories, EAXOFF and EAXON, are indentical. It looks to me the samples are the same. A closer look: Both folder in UI1.0 hold the samples at a bitrate of 705kbps, 44khz. Exception are the files MG_Browning50.wav, MG_Browning50x.wav and R-2800_tb_2702.wav. They are 352kbps.
UI1.1 has all *.prs and *.wav files included as in the UI1.0 EAXON/EAXOFF.
Conclusion: EAXON or EAXOFF isn't set by copying those files.

MKII_Gyro_On for Spitfire MK IX.
The directory size in UI1.1 of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\files\3do\Cockpit\SpitfireMkIXc\ is 5.050.926 bytes.
Within UI1.0 the content of the directory which is copied over when using the batch file to enable MKII_Gyro has a size of 5.050.926 bytes. They exactly match!
Conclusion: by default the MKII_Gyro is enabled within UI1.1. As this mod includes hashed files they will affect you when joining a server with CRT2.

Overall conclusion:
The readme file that comes with UI1.1 shouldn't had contained the sections MKII Gyro Gunsight or Standard Gunsight for Spitfire MK IX switcher and EAX (environmental audio) switcher.

Good info Bluelion. Given the Gyro sight is enabled by default its a pity the author didnt get the display symbology right in his rendition.

Though that wouldn't be qualified as a UI1.1 bug, rather a glitch of the author. Therefor you should take that one to the right topic:
