UPDATED 2008-05-04 -> Version 1.1.0.0 released...
Hi!
I just started using the modded version of IL2 and I realized that I needed a tool for switching beteween "Modded", 4.09 and 4.08. Therefore I wrote a small app that makes this easy (there are probably others that does this already)...
Overview:
IL2Swapper is a small utility to easily switch between different versions of IL2 (Original 4.08, Original 4.09, Mod 408, Mod 409).
The application can be configured for different needs. If you only want to switch between Orginal and Mod, two original versions and one mod etc...
An important note is that the application is based on using two "copies" of IL2 if you want to swap between original and mod configuration.
One for the original and one for "modded". To be able so switch between "sub versions" for each copy you create a different directory
with the files needed (files.SFS and some others).
When switching between "modded" and "original" it simply changes the names of the directories (adding " ORIGINAL"
after the orginal dir when running "modded".
When switching between 4.08 and 4.09 it simply copies the files
in the sub directories with version specific files to the current base directory overwriting the old files...
You can then use it to launch Hyperlobby, Xfire or start an offline session...
Download from the link below (it's written in C# VS2005 so you need .NET Framework 2.0):

IMPORTANT NOTE! - This is just the switcher application (36kb zip). I does not contain the version files needed to switch between different versions if you want to do that (see the readme.txt in the zip for more information!). There is an excellent package (IL2_Mod_Switcher_4_08m_to_4_09bm.exe ) with the version specific files needed here:
(The link is inoperative) (thanks RAF_Magpie for the info!)
