Hi guys !!

I've often heard of the new SM-79 recently when talking about the new 4.09 official patch, but I really ain't too good with computers usually, and with the pretty much confusing mod to install with the AAA 4.09b 1.1 UI included, I'd much prefer wait until we'd get the AAA UI 1.2.

However, I really like the Italian Air Force of WW2 even though I'm not an Italian, I was waiting for the SM-79 to be released for a while now so I used the old CANT-1007, anyway, the question I'd like to ask would be if it's possible to get the SM-79 on the AAA 4.09b UI 1.1, but not install the new official patch until the new UI would be released, and also if such thing is possible, how well would this kind of mod work ??

If not possible, I guess I'll have to still wait until the new UI gets released, but really, I'm really looking forward to enjoy this one.

I have patched to 4.09m but found that the game stuck at 95% when loading. I used the SAS mod activator and buttons file and it worked! However, I noticed that some aircraft had reverted to their original sounds. So installed the sound patch included with the SAS buttons download, and BINGO ! All working fine with good sounds and all 4.09m content
My main reason for installing 4.09m was for the SM79 which I needed for some historically accurate Malta missions I'm putting together. The CANT 1007 seems to have played a lesser role in Malta, and the visual model has a bug anyway which makes it turn pink at certain distances.

Please , explain step by step what you have done . Have you started from 4.08 clean ? or have you a 4.09b1 ?
thank you.

I was using 4.09b1m. modded with various stuff from the AAA site such as AC_INSTALLER_v2_2 and English_Career_Language_Fix, 00_AAA_August_20_2009_Effects_Platinum_Special_Edition, ENG_Sound_mod_Version_093 and a few aircraft (only quality aircraft - No frankenplanes). Played this for some weeks (months).Then patched with 4.09m.
This gave the 95% freeze. Installed the SAS mod activator and buttons file. Tried it. The game loaded ok but some aircraft sounds were missing, or rather, had reverted to stock lawnmower sounds. Installed the SAS sound patch (which I should have done anyway according to the instructions with the SAS mod activator). Loaded game. All the planes Ive tried since have worked fine, with good sounds.
One thing which may be relevant. I have never used the AAA Unified installer v1.1, but did it manually with instructions given here viewtopic.php?t=6632
Scroll down to "If you need to start from the very beginning"

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I wonder if that would work with 1.2 UI with 4.09m. :???:
