to unzip zipped files you need a program such as winzip or winrar (available in the download section of this site) i use winrar and have no issues with it. after installing the unzipping program select the file to unzip with right click. a menu box will appear. select option "unzip files to this location" or similar option. enter the file path to the mods folder in your il-2 folder and unzip. the config.ini file is in the il-2 installation folder, it is called config. it allows you to change resolution, detail levels etc. example of a entry in the config file:

water=3

this option can have a value of 0,1,2,3,4 each ascending level increasing the level of detail for water in the game. there are other options but not all of them can have values as high as 4 for instance "viewable distance" or "land geometry" only go to 3 maximum. hope this is useful
