OK, maybe I haven't finished step 3...
because, I cannot find the switcher executable (Il2VersionSwitcher.exe) you specified in the main game directory, leading me to believe I've installed a WIP exe (as offered at AAA).
But I can fly all the former AI aircraft: B17s, B24s, etc, even the B29 (with same cockpit as FW189, btw, LOL!). In short I can fly all the aircraft. Maybe it's because I installed:
AAA_MOD_PACK_v2_7.exe...
or was it MOD_Activator_v5_2_IL2_4_08.exe? Gee, I don't know... No, wait, I think I installed that first with the Wrapper.exe, but there is no comprehensive reference thread I can read to double check that?
I have d-loaded the following but have not installed to date:
409_MOD_b1m.exe
IL2_Mod_Switcher_4_08m_to_4_09bm.exe
Are these two files rolled into the AAA Unified Installer noted here? (The link is inoperative)
Which of the last three should I install, and in what order? Does installing one mean I can disregard installing others, etc.? I have several modded slot a/c already installed and working fine. Will upgrading undo all this work?
See why people get confused?
I appreciate your help. Your basic outline seems fine at first, but with respect, your instructions do not specify in detail what files -- by name, and where to get them -- to install and which ones are outdated WIPs that can be ignored. Nor are these Beta WIPS taken down when superceded by final versions? I believe this is why there are so many inquiries here on how to fix broken upgrades.
Again, I'm learning with each minute, so I truly do appreciate all the help!
