S' All,
Istly congrats on the excellent mod (as they all are) & yes I'm one of the average joes that has struggled through with the 70% CTD drama.
My problem occurred I believe with an incorrect loading of ShipPack 1. I did a windows search of the .ini file (technics) & discovered through that I had a ShipPack folder in the main IL2 game directory as well as in the MOD folder.Therefore some of the .ini's were either doubled up or ,in my case, not in the \MODS\STD\com\maddox\il2\objects in the first place. I made sure the correct .inis from ShipPack(1) one were in \objects & as per readme went to Add to ini (ShipPack2 ) & added the text for each file. I pulled the offending ShipPack1 folder out of the game & was successful in loading at last.
Another mistake I made was to just copy the Technics.properties file to MODS\STD\i18n & leave it there as a text document.
Experienced modders etc with probably laugh their heads of at this silliness, but it shows you what some of us get up to when we dont know what we're doing.
cheers
Ikey
