Hi everybody, this is my 1st post and as you have noticed from the title, I'm new to mods and I can't get my il-2 (original dvd) working with the mods/software downloaded from this site.

this is what I installed on a clean 4.08 version:

Once you have ungraded to your version 4.08, I would simply download the (very large but essential) UI installer:

viewforum.php?f=58

Choose a download mirror, doesn't matter which one, Install the UI and then you ought to have most of the essential mods necessary. The game should work.

Later, when you have the game working, you can then begin installing new maps and other mods not included in the UI.

But first install the UI.

Also, a tip: make a backup copy of your game before installing anything. That way you won't have to un-install the game and then re-install everything should something go wrong with a mod.

And always install new mods one by one, testing each one out one at a time.
