Hi all,
I have just reinstalled my game and patched it to 4.08m and then to 4.09m. I then downloaded cannons UK map and all the mods to go with it. I then opened the Hangar mod, it says drop one of the folders into the IL-2 mods directory. I then went to C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, but no mods folder. Am I missing something here? Please note it says 4.09 on my loading screen!
Thanks for any help!

Your best bet would be to install a standard mods package. HSFX or UP2.0
These include Canons channel map and much much more.

All the links for HSFX are here viewtopic.php?p=295207#295207

I prefer UP, because it includes HSFX, here ( Link Removed )

Just a question, why some one removed the link? Doesn't this site allow external links to other sites?

Others have directed you to the HSFX mod pack, but to answer this question specifically, yes you're missing something. IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 stock game is NOT modded. The Official patches 4.08m and 4.09m are not Mod patches. The little 'm' does not stand for 'mods', it stands for 'merged', and is a throwback to the old days of separate Forgottten Battles + AEP, and Pacific Fighters, when there was an option to merge the two games into a single install. Thereafter, there were separate patches release for the standalone Pacific Fighters, and for the merged Forgotten Battles + AEP + Pacific Fighters, the patches for the merged game were distinguished by the lower case 'm' in the patch name, e.g. patch 4.04 versus patch 4.04m. After patch 4.04, there were no more patches release for standalone Pacific Fighters, however the subsequent patches for the merged game retained the 'm' in the name.
