I had loaded the Sound Mod program to 4.09b1m and was pleased with the sounds. But I was not as happy with the splash screen and everything for Pilot Career appearing in Russian. A fine language, I am sure, but not one that I can read even a little. The Splash Screen also showed Version 4.08M a little unnerving, to say the least. But things seemed to work OK.

So... I thought, well, I'll just reload the 409b stuff and the worst that can happen is I will lose the sound mod stuff and I can deal with that afterwards. But nooooooooo... Now the Splash Screen loads in English and says 4.09b1m, but stops at 95% and never completes.

Before I get drastic and delete everything and reload from scratch, is there anything I should try?

Befuddled, as usual.

I had a very similar problem (loading till 95%), and it turned out that it was because I applied some mod mistakenly during the IL2 was running in the background (I just Alt-Tab ed out of it and forgot to quit it). I quit, reapplied the mod, restarted the sim and it worked perfectly.

Hope that helps.

Ah, and BTW, it's just a splash screen that's in russian, everything else works just fine.

Thanks, I have cured the problem. I had to d/l and re-install some of the mods. Now, everything is going well, at least it seems to be.
