hi liamp51,
keep it simple if you're new to MODs - make sure you have a new clean install of Il2 1946 on your computer (delete old install if necessary) - this will help hugely!
for starters I would only d/load all 8 parts of the UI1.1
make a new empty folder on your desktop and copy & paste them into it.
double click on 'part1' (its icon will look different to the others)
follow the instructions to point it at your Il2 1946 installation - it will auto install everything for you.
then download the UI1.1 patch and run this too.
Play with this for a while - use the included version switcher to play 4.09bm version offline for best results.
Get used to the (plenty!!) of new aircraft and included MODs it provides
UI1.1 will create a MODS folder for you. To install more MODs later most will just need copying and pasting into this folder & some will even auto install for you - but I would suggest you get up & running with UI1.1 first as it is the basis of eveything else.
You can also change your confi.ini file for better graphical results, etc - post again later if you'd like a hand editing this, its very easy to do
You mention the space used by UI1.1 - how much hard drive disk space do you have? If you'd like to post your computer specs (CPU, graphics card, hard drive size, RAM) that may help.
cheers
Ash
