Hi Guys,

I've been looking at some of the new 4.09b1M servers on hyperlobby & thinking about diving in (just to get shot down somewhere different for a change !!) but need some advice/guidance please.

I currently have 2 1946 installs -

c:\il2 1946OFFLINE - 4.09b1M used for offline campaigns, etc. Mods (inc aircraft/maps/etc ) are installed here

c:\il2 1946 UI - 4.08M for online play, Hyperlobby points to this one (clean UI 1.1 install only)

do I:

1 - use the MODswitchers in my current 1946/Hyperlobby install (but i would need to add some Mods into this install for servers which have new aircraft in?)

2 - set up a SECOND install of Hyperlobby with NEW account and point it at my offline .exe for 4.09 servers? is this possible/correct?

3 - change my current Hyperlobby to point at my offline .exe and use the 6 mod switchers from the UI 1.1 to choose how my install is configured before joining servers?


I have various mapmods & new aircraft in my OFFLINE install (AAA approved only, no WIP) - will using the MODswitchers stuff any of this up when switching back to using it for offline campaigns? (my main worry!!)

Thanks

Ash

well, I'm not the expert that you are looking for, but since no one else has anwsered you yet. I found that you will need a clean ui1.1 install. And when I say clean, I mean just that. I have some plane add ons and some other mods like 6dof, bumpys tex, and holygrails smoke, etc. And all of these things get me timeout 1. Through talking with some people I have leard that most add on mod will not work on any server with cr=2. My biggest problem is the lack of servers allowing 6dof for my trackIR. But in truth you need to go to the serers website and read their instructions because most cr=2 lobbys will still allow tex mods and map mods. But any updated planes will get you kicked. For example I have the 109 k4 v2.?? and I get timed out. Basiclly, in short a clean ui1.1 should give you no problems, but any extra mods you downlload after that defenitly have the potental to get you bumped for the game.
