Thanks for the help guys, It is really encouraging to not be alone on this. I am about at my whits end.
Basically, the problem is that the mats will not display in game. Mat Manager itself opens and I can change options, but when I save and quite MM, then fire up the game ... no mats. Nothing is being copied into the cache folder. The installer does its thing, and it takes FOREVER for the mats to install as well as MM to copy the files to game folder, but when I start the game ... nothing.
Mat Manager installes, or so my computer tells me, but the program is not doing its job. I am stuck with the awful, atrocious, eye sore default mats. The US one just pisses me off. The US star poking outside the blue circle??? WTF?
I have used Mat Manager for so long I forgot how awful and bad the default roundels were ... AAHHHGGG!!!
Anyway, I have tried the advice, and I installed everything to the internal hard drive. I even installed Mat Manager one folder above the programs folder. still nothing. The MM installer runs, MM opens, I change my settings, save and copy mats, start game ... nothing works.
- I added clearcache=0 to my config.ini
- I made a copy of il2fb.exe and renamed it il2.exe.
It still does not work.
I am doing everything needed to install properly. My methodology is not wrong.
I remember reading about having to make the cache folder not read only. I have not been able to do this, even though I have followed the correct steps ...
