I know little myself about mods :? however, I presume english is not your first language and you meant to say you downloaded from "their" website?

If you can tell us what you actually downloaded ( the actual name of the file) it will make it easier for people to help.

If you downloaded the official 4.08 patch (or 4.09), they are self extracting files.

You simply run( i.e. click on them to activate) them from desktop or a folder and they will automatically install (usually) into your Il2 game.

evan9201, where did you get this "il2_v4.08_mods_megapack_v1.0.zip"

Have you tried to install the Unified Installer from this site?

Is your download from the Ubisoft site version 4.08?

Evan...I have no idea what that file is I would suggest you delete it and forget about it for now.

What you need firstly is to download and install official patch 4.08.

Then I would suggest you download the Unified Installer from this site. I gives you all you need including a version switcher which enables you to to switch versions quicker than I can type this.

You can get the official 4.08 patch for 46 here:

http://mission4today.com/index.php?name ... ls&id=1908

Download that, it is a self installing patch which will find your game installation automatically(after you click on it to activate it).


Unified Installer is here:

After you install the Unified Installer you can pick from some of the many other mods available here Smile

I am aware also that there are issues with the downloaded version of 46 the solution to those issues is also on this site Smile

I would also suggest that you stick to this site for mods, as most (all?) of them have been tested to be compatible, and I believe you are asking for trouble trying to use "mods" from some of the more dodgy sites Wink

Hi guys, sorry - I'm a bit grumpy - just spent a long time trying to register, then when I follwed your link to the Unified installer - I received this message:

"The topic or post you requested does not exist"

Any hints as to a more recent link to this mod?
Hope this isn't a dead post. Thanks
