best method for modding 409m - BillSwagger - 03.10.2009

I've read various posts, and i have a copy of my UI and a copy of a fresh install already patched to the new 409m.

Should i install the UI 1.1 over the new 4.09m?

or should i patch a copy of my existing AAA UI?


It seems i still need all the features of the switcher to work, and if i patch i will lose the option to switch from 4.08 to 4.09b and instead end up with, what?

Has anyone else attempted this?




would it be best to just wait for 1.2?

NOTE: I dont use U.I 1.1

I backed up this files:

fb_3do19.SFS
fb_3do20.SFS
files.SFS
fb_maps15.SFS
il2fb.exe

Unzipped the 4.09m to another folder

Manually dragged those (4.09m ones) files to my Il2 1946 folder and replaced the old ones.

Then copies the following files from the SAS file:

files.SFS
il2fb.exe

Then manually added the lines from the .inis in SAS for clear install (look at the bottom of the inis for the new stuff) to:

air.ini
weapons_ru
planes_ru
all.ini

And finally the buttons Smile

And voila!
4.09m with mods Smile

Theres a fix for the Russian Messages out there...
Also can copy the Dgen thing from the mod activator...but no idea what it does Tongue

MrOblongo, are there 4.09m aircrafts, such as Re2000 and G.55 in your game?

Thanks for outlining how to do this. Off to go try and see if I can duplicate your efforts. S!

Edited for a question:
MrOblongo, the fiels that you backed up. Did you copy them back in? If so, not all of them, right? Or, did you just back them up to have? Thanks for clearing that up for this foggy old mind. Smile

Just backed them up so i couldn come back to 4.09b1m if something went wrong... but all worked out fine Tongue

Thanks. I'm currious if it will work on a UI 1.1 install... Anyone try that?

i installed 4.09 over the MODS OFF version of il2, and it ran fine, with new planes and features. when i went back to change it to 4.08 or 4.09b1m modded, it crashed. now i have the patched 4.09m version with no UI or mods

There is a cockpit stopgap for the G55 at SAS, it will work untill a proper cockpit and tailored FM are developed.......... of course knowing those guys that could be 5 minutes from now.

I simply don't know where to put IA planes, because all of aircrafts in my game are flyable... :oops: and of course, written in air,weapons, plane.ini
