Great. Glad you got it fixed mishapilot. Me109 maybe these notes will help.
For UI 1.2 installation you must start with version switcher set to 4.08 modded or 4.09 modded and with ShipPack2 installed and ships appearing correctly in FMB/View/Objects/Show.
To install HMS Eskimo
1. Extract HMS_Eskimo.rar to a temporary folder on Desktop. In the temp folder you have HMS_Eskimo folder containing MODS folder and readme
2. Copy and Paste the MODS folder into your game root folder. This will add 13 new class files into root/MODS/ShipPack2. One of the class files needs to over write an existing file the other 12 are new files. It will also add the new msh folder root/MODS/ShipPack2/3do/ships/HMSEskimo. If this section is done correctly and you have the ShipPack2 ships appearing in FMB but not HMS Eskimo then the problem is with the text edits of the ini and properties files.
3. Text edits are required in chief.ini ships.ini, stationary.ini and technics_ru.properties files. These are existing files in your installation. They are likely to be in root/files or root/MODS/STD. Do a file search in the root folder and sub folders for each of these files to confirm that you only have one of each. If you have two of any of them this may create problems.
4. If you have multiple files then the game will only use the first one it finds. It will look first in /Mods, then in /files then in the game *.sfs files. This means that if you have multiple files and your text edits are not made in the correct file they may not be read by the game engine. Use the readme file to copy and paste the text edits required.
