Ok. So, I figured this out after lots of reading at AAS and some testing.

As many already probably know (but I didn't) the MOD IL-2 .exe that is installed by the MOD installer is the russian version, so it defaults to the russian versions of all campaign content. The enjoyr BoE patch replaces the russian campaign files with ones with english in them, so the .exe still thinks it's pulling the russian files, but you get english text. I tried adding the enjoyr patch, but I still had a few BoE campaigns that showed up in russian for some reason, and I didn't really want the enjoyr patches installed this time around either. So that was not the right fix.

I was able to identify extract all the files that BoE was adding during installation to a temp folder. From there I found all files that had multiple versions of the same file, just named differently for different language. For example, you would see campaignxyz.dat, campaignxyz_ru.dat, campaignxyz_fr.dat, etc... Then I deleted the the _ru version (russian version) and renamed the version without a suffix (the english version) with a _ru on the end. Sounds complicated, but once I got a system going it only took about 45 mins.

I dropped those files into my modded install, and problem was fixed. Of course, all this is only necessary for someone who wants to fly modded BoE without the enjoyr patches.

Malibu43,

That's good!

I knew that it had to be a BoE issue and not a game wide one.

Thanks for your help along the way.

I'm hoping that my detailed explanation will help the next guy that comes along with a similar issue!
