OK, I think I have it sorted, but its a bit convaluted. I will try to explain here, so if anyone else has this issue, this may help.
I think the problem is on the pc side. some conflicting or interfering software, not alowing the installations to go smoothly.
Anyway, here is what you do:
1) Install mod activator and wrapper as normal.
2) Install AC installer into another folder somewhare, so you can look at the contents in peace. You will see a lot of files, and the start making sense if you recall that it will follow a different installation for whatever mod activator or version of sound pack you have, or universal installer. So in my case I have the mod pack. So I basically went into the "modact" folder, and copied and pasted the "files" folder inside it, into my IL 2 game directory.
Thats it for AC installer, dono if it helps.
3) Then, do the same when installing a new plane, unsip or install into a temorary folder somewhere else, so you can see the files in isolation. Just copy over the ..._RU type folders into the game directory, and the paintschemes and mods folder also.
4) then you will see a folder called " AIR_INI". Inside it is a folder called "com". Go put this in the STD folder . Inside it evetualy you will find air.ini. And everytime you add a new plane to the game, you have to find its air ini example, provided in the install files, and paste it into this air.ini file. and then you should be good to go!
Sound like a bunch, but I am glad I figured it out. I think I am basically completely circumventing ac installer, but thats ok. at least now I can get some sleep.
BTW, the Me410 cockpit is AWESOME!
