I went and purchased a digital download version from Amazon. I think it may be 4.07 according to the read-me file. Can this be used still for mods? I was reading your newbie guide and its seemed to say 4.07 for DVD and 4.08 for digital download. Will the patch for the digital downland 4.08 still allow the version to work with mods?

Hoghead,

The digital download was a wise choice. MAKE A COPY of it for safekeeping. You have a right to a backup copy. If you lose the whole thing, then you can redownload, but it is much easier to keep a copy.

You are good to go. If it is indeed 4.07m, then you need to patch to 4.08m. After that, you add the special patch for the 4.08m digital download (link provided in my guide). Next is the 4.09m.

After 4.09m, you should make a copy of the build to that point. Remember to test after each stage of patching to ensure that you did it correctly.

Now you must decide to get the 4.10 or go with a mod pack installed into the 4.09.


I recommend:

Copy your IL-2 Sturmovik 1946
Patch to 4.09m and keep a copy of it.
Patch to 4.10 and keep a copy of that.

Add a mod pack of your choice to one of the copies of 4.09m.

Keep a separate copy of 4.10 for possibly adding a mod pack in the future (they are coming very soon).


I am not giving information about 4.10 in my guide for a few days until I get information from several modding leaders on a timeframe for their mod pack releases. I want new guys to try the existing mod packs because they might only add individual mods to them anyway and I want them to get hooked on mods.
