i would love to try it out!
any new progs need to be installed for that??

If you wish to try populating a map, the best way to go about it is to install the map making version of Il-2 so that you can not only place objects one by one as in the normal game in FMB, but in the map-maker you can also copy/paste groups of objects much as in other windows programs and you can also do so between maps ...

That is really all you'd need in the way of programs ...

I don't have it at hand right here, but you should be able to find out how to install a map-maker version of Il-2 here on the forum. It's not hard at all to do. You can alter an existing install, but it's really best to make a separate version of the game for map-making.
