Now I have followed the instructions to the letter and still I am baffled, I install the mod into a seperate IL2 folder as to not corrupt my original, I attempt to load up the game and either 1 of 2 things happens

1. The splash screen appears sits at 5% and crashes a short time later

or

2. Loads up, Menus are all in Russian then proceeds to crash after nearly 20 seconds

I could really use the help as I dont really know what I'm doing wrong or anything of the sort, in fact the only thing that I believe is different than most is that I did a download purchase of 1946 not a retail copy

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks!
