Hi guys,
New here but not new to flight sims or mods (I play a lot of Silent Hunter 3 & 4) though I pretty much use Jonesoft JSGME to install all my mods. I'm happy multi installing, etc.
Come back to Il2 after a long time and will be rusty as hell flying!! So far I've got 1946 installed fresh, directly into 'C:\Il2 Sturmovik 1946' patched to 408 to keep as a vanilla/backup copy.
I'd like to have one copy for playing online through hyperlobby which I understand needs to be kept pretty much unmodded?
I'd like another 'eyecandy' copy for campaign/offline/modded servers that I can apply some of the crackin lookin mods from here onto
Now I have a vanilla folder can I copy this twice, rename one say 'Il2408' & one 'Il2modded' then start working on it?
I'll also need some help with the setup tweaks - I understand from mooching here I need to mod my confi.ini & various other settings & I'll need to list my rig specs, etc. (Vista Ultimate x64/E8400 @3.6/ 8GB OCZ Reaper PC6400/ 2 x HD3870 in crossfire/22" WS Monitor)
Could someone give me a pointer on how best to setup the above installs, then I'll post a new thread with my full system specs, etc, if someone would be kind enough to help me there too.
Thanks in advance
Ash
