struwwelpeter, the idea is to copy and paste the folder to the one in the il-2 root directory, yes it will overwrite the Russian speech files, so before you copy and paste mine you need to make a copy of the RU speech folder and put it safe so you can restore it once the campaign is finished. What I would advise is to load the campaign without it first just to see what sounds you get, I got Russian, but Fabianfred says the Thai folder should default to English. I used Japanese because it was an Asian language and there is as yet none for Thailand. Will naming it TH work? Not sure I never thought to try! This is the reason the campaign was intended as a manual install to give the player a choice in how he or she sets it up.

It is not essential to install the files for the skinmod because all the flying aircraft in the campaign have been allocated skins. What these files do is aid immersion, as Kirby points out. Did you ever land on a desert map and see the C-47 with invasion stripes, in say a 1942 campaign? Yuk. VP medias superb skinmod allows that to change, he has provided files of some wonderfull skins, mostly his that replace the older default schemes with a better version. I think my campaign is the first released that has skins for both flying and static aircraft, wouldn't you rather park your Hawk next to another wearing a Thai scheme? It's your call, but if you don't the static aircraft will appear in whatever the default skin is.

Is there a downside to the skinmod? Well yes. If you install my files and play a campaign say on a Russian map and the U-2VS is used as a static ircraft, or is flying without having been allocated a specific skin it will have Thai markings, a bit of an immersion killer in that sense! You will therefore need to make a copy of the plane folder so you can overwrite my files once you finish my campaign.

I hope this helps and that you enjoy the campaign however you set it up, if in doubt don't use the speech and skinmod files.

Wishing you the very best, Pete. :wink:

Thank you for your work, I understand better. The reason I ask is because there is a SPANISH and YUGOSLAVIAN speech back out there that goes in its own independant folder. This would be better, right?
