Finally got everything working in one install-due to some really good advice ( thanks everyone!) First I deleted or saved everything in C
rogam Files?Ubisoft?1l2...both by automatic uninstall & went back & cleared it manually...Nothing there...definately!
1.) Installed original game
2.) installed 4.08 patch
3.)InstalledAAAUI 1.1
4.)Installed AAAUI 1.2 with patch from Torrent download( tried at least 3 times from File front & always got corrupted message...but Torrent worked!)Go to Mod folder & delete & change folders as per instructions at 1.2 post.
5.)Installed 4.09m & 4.09 skin pack...did so manually although I don't know if this made any differnce..
6.)Very carefully installed SASActv2.1for previously modded versions-& followed all instructions in readme for changing texts...still trying to find "Chief.ini." but oh well...
7.)Installed new button2.3& SAS Presets.
Let me add these instructions were given to me, but I screwed up several times by not doing a complete uninstall.In the pastr week I musta had 4 different modded versions saved at one tome juggling things between all of them & "infecting them" with some of the same things each & everytime & screwed around.Before the AAAUI1.2 I had one working but very overloaded up to date SAS version ...it wasn't very clean & some things didn't work but it was passable...so why go to all the trouble & time of struggling to get this right?Well to get a more or less clean version ( My objects folders have never been right& I've never got Ships2 to instll without a CTD;plus getting my maps right is an on going quest...))that had the new 1.2 & planes from 4.09.I don't really plan to fly any of the new a/c except maybe the SM 79 that i have waited for for quite a while,but who knows maybe they'll show up in a Med Campaign or mission & I'll need to have one or two of these planes.So I just kept trying & finally got everything to work ( well not too sure about the 109s & sounds cause I haven't tried everything yet...)Ironically I bit the bullet to get opening cockpits on the 109s but find that some open others don't & none show open cockpit on exterior view...and I've lost miror on 109E...Damn!
Now comes the really boring part of reloading ALL the other modded a/c from here & SAS , not to mention the maps...etc.Effects are easier as they just get placed in Mod Folder ,but I will be much more carefull doing this as I've found they can easily come in conflict with one another..( I promise to be careful!Honest!)
So ...my advice: Be careful go in order as above ...save copies that work& check things at each stage...above all follow instructions in readme! As many know who inhabit these sites I am PC Impaired ,but I got it all to work...more or less
And thanks to all the modderswho do all this "above & beyond the call of duty!!!"
