Hi, I have installed the mod package successfully to my Il-2 and I want to add new aircraft. I've been looking for the download for the A/C mod installer and I can't find it. Where is the download? I'm new here so take it easy on me! Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the site and the community.

If you mean Unified installer 1.1 then all you need is to keep up to speed which version of the AC installer you have.
I think the most up to date one is AC installer 3.8 at the moment.

If you have AC installer 3.8, then all you need to do is download the planes and follow the instructions.
If they come as an .exe file, then I don't think it should be neccesary to do anything except run that and just be sure it selects the correct directory (some people have several installs of IL-2)

(The link is inoperative)AC installer 3.8

There is one thing though. If you go into the WIP section, you'll find that most the planes in there come as manual installs. There shouldn't be anything wrong with doing a manual install, as long as you follow the instructions carefully and thorougly.

I've reinstalled my game about 8 times (yes, I'm not ashamed to admit that) because I didn't read the readme file provided, and therefore ruined my game...

The wrapper is one thing that is posted with many of the planes, but I don't think that should present a problem, I think that was a part of the "old way" of installing planes. Again, if you have the most up do date wrapper you should be fine.

There is a unification process underway between the various mod communities but for the time being the planes available at AAA are the only ones supported by the AAA site tech department.

Hope this helps, if not, send me a personal message and I'll help you from there.

P.s. - There is no general unified aircraft installer, but most of the released planes will be featured in Unified installer 1.2 which is due for release this month. Until then, you'll have to get each plane that's been released individually.

Cheers
