There is a troubleshooting section: viewforum.php?f=29

Yep, youre right about the cyrillic fix only working online. I gave up trying to fix that problem and now I have to learn Cyrrillic (actually not too much of a problem, I'm flying a lot of Frogs in LOMAC...) but understandably this is not an option for everybody.

Hi everyone. I think I have finally got to the bottom of this troublesome Russian language problem in the multiplayer campaigns. I was having this problem too and spent hours trawling the net for a fix but to no avail so I decided to have a go at it myself. After sifting through the many game files and folders I found my way into a folder called 'NGEN' (I Assumed this was for network stuff so I took a closer look). The file path on my PC is as follows: C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\NGen

In here are various .dat files. These are the setup files for the dynamic multiplayer campaigns. You'll notice that for each one there are various language versions including one ending with _ru (This is the Russian version)

(For example there is one called: CampaignCustomLvov41_ru.dat)

Because the AAA mod uses a Russian .exe file it naturally opts to use all the Russian language files for the game. There are two ways to get the Campaigns to show in English, but I chose the following:

(Using the example campaign from above)
1. Open the file called: 'CampaignCustomLvov41.dat' using notepad (this is the English version)
2. Press CTRL 'A' to select all the text in this file. Then press CTRL 'C' to copy to clipboard
3. Open the file called: 'CampaignCustomLvov41_ru.dat' using notepad (this is the Russian version)
4. Press CTRL 'A' to select all the text in this file
5. Press CTRL 'V' and it will paste the English text over the Russian text
6. Save the file (I just closed the file and clicked "Yes" to save changes)
7. Repeat this process for every campaign file in the entire folder and hey presto you'll have your multiplayer campaigns in English.


The second way to do this would be to delete all the campaign files ending in '_ru' and then rename all the english files so they end in '_ru'
Not sure if this would be quicker but I'll let you guys decide.

Hope you all understand this, good luck.

Well that solved the main screen problem but where do I find the briefings? They're still in Cyrillic.
