Either install the soundmod and wrapper or the UI 1.1. I recommend the UI 1.1. This will give you a large number of maps, mods, effects and new flyable aircraft all in one simple install.
You will want to have a good fast internet connection for this last option- it's a bunch of big files, and you'll need all them for it to work.

I followed your instructions and downloaded all UI 1.1. files in two different hours (late night, early morning) It took approx 14 min. per file for the large ones. Installed them according to instructions available at this site and everything works fine! I have my ItalyAfricaGreece map back plus lots of other goodies. I have to express my admiration and gratitude to all modders and programmers who have contributed in this magnificent endeavour. It is worth every minute downloading! Thanks again to all members of the community who were kind enough to respond to my questions. Great job everyone!
