Man, I am so frustrated! I love all the mods on this website posted by all of you artists! They definantly make this game so much more fun to play....
However...
I am STILL having problems with two of these mods. I have also followed all of the instructions posted in the original readme to a T twice already! I have also tried troubleshooting...First, I installed shippack2 (BTW: I have a UI installation). I had problems with the CTD at 70%. I changed the ru_properties file as stated on the first page...Didn't work. I then read through the shippack ini. files to make sure they were spaced right and all that...Still crashed! Then, I completely deleted the section in the ini. files that made a reference to shippack1 (although I have never even installed it)...Still 70% CTD. Then, I used the ini. files supplied in the shippack2 zip file as direct replacements...With NO modifications. The sim then loaded all the way! Unfortunately, only the original ships show up. Not only do they not show up in FMB, but when I try to fly "countdown to love", "Hot dirty love", and or the Checkerboard campaign all of my planes start out in the water...So, then I read that I needed to merge the static AC technic and stationary ini. files with the ones I had in the shippack mods folder. Still, no luck. Then, last but not least, I disabled the static AC folder by putting a " - " in front of the folder name (i.e -staticAC) and after that, I just deleted the folder completely. Still, the sim starts up all the way, but ships are STILL not showing up! I would REALLY like to play these campaigns (man, a Hellcat, Avenger and Corsair campaign! WOW!) but I still can't until I can get these ships to work! Does anyone have any advice short of deleting the entire IL2 installation and starting all over (which although these campaigns look sweet, I can't say it would be worth all that) Please! I could really use help here...Thanks guys! I hope I don't sound like an ungrateful @$$ or something...I am just alittle frustrated and pretty lost!

BTW: the other mod that I am having issues with is the Thailand map...shows up in the FMB on the list, but when I click on it, I get a total freeze up and I have to hard shut down....
