Late here too, m8. This post and then I have to hit the sack.

The \mods folder went into MODS\Mods. When the mod didn't seem to work, I moved Splashscreen folder and its contents to the \MODS level.

The \missions folder went into the \Missions\Campaign folder. I manually moved each county's Screens folder, .tga and .mat files to the respective DE, JA, UN, FI, FR, etc. folders to get to the last photo above. I deleted the now-empty folders above those levels.

Hope that strikes a clue on file placement. Would a fresh d/l be easier?


Have a great night!

Yes, it would. Once you get the dl, go into your Ubisoft directory, and drag and drop the missions folder on top of the IL-2 1946 folder. You should get a menu pop-up that looks like the one below:



click yes to all.

Repeat this with the mods folder.

That should put all the folders and images in the right place.

Make sure the splashscreen.bat folder is on the e:\ drive and you should see your splash screens cycle.

To get the splashsceen.bat file to launch IL-2 as well change the following text at the end of the splashscreen.bat file from this:

Rem Start IL-2 Directly
Rem cd C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovick 1946
Rem Start IL2fb.exe

to this:

Rem Start IL-2 Directly
cd %root%
Start IL2fb.exe

save the changes and it should now randomly cycle your splash screens and start your IL-2.

P.S.
If you use IL-2 Stab or have some other programs that you want to run at the same time as IL-2 if you can tell me where there .exe files are then I can tell you what code to add to the end of the batch file to make them run as well when you run the batch file.
