I am looking for a way to mod 409 official release.
The thing is I don't want any all in one pack where all mods is bundled together.
I want to have control over installed mods and I already have something about 15 Gigs 8) of my favourites mods (sounds, cockpits, smokes/fires, new objects and planes).
So is there a way to use IL2-1946 V.409 with mods from 408 like planes, sound mod 6DOF freetrack, etc. etc. but without UI or UP.

The second thing, is there No CD for 409 because having IL2 in the CD drive is pain in the ass

1) don't know - not tried.

2) yes I patched to 4.09m and it runs no CD exe (4.33mb - 22/12/2006)


- so my best guess on 1). is that you will be able to patch your modded installl to 4.09m - switch files.sfs and il2fb.exe to originals before patching, run, test , then switch your modded files.sfs and il2fb.exe back in and test again. any problems just switch back to 4.09bm (or .08m) exe and files.sfs. If you use a switcher its easy enough to edit the .bat file.

Think you'll have problems online not using UI or HSFX though.

If by now you're confused as hell - ask again. :wink:

The only differences from 4.09b and 4.09m are in

the

fb_3do19.SFS
fb_3do20.SFS
fb_maps15.SFS
files.SFS
il2_core.dll
il2_corep4.dll
mg_snd.dll
mg_snd_sse.dll

+ of course new Paint Schemes.

The il2fb.exe is unchanged , so in theory the mod exe and wrapper should still function when patched up to final 4.09m

I have 4.09b running on a seperate rig with sound mod 1 + all my WIP .

il2_core.dll
il2_corep4.dll
mg_snd.dll
mg_snd_sse.dll

So if 409.m have new files.SFS its mean that after installing sound mod which replace this files.SFS some features from 409.m wont be function properly?

The il2fb.exe is unchanged , so in theory the mod exe and wrapper should still function when patched up to final 4.09m

Thx for bringing it to my attention somehow i didn't thought myself to check what files exactly are replaced.

The link that EasyRider gave you, above, might be the best solution for you if you don't want to install comprehensive packages.

[Gumpy]

Eldon45 is correct,that link is the best way to go.

[Chupacabras84]

I already registered on that site.
So the 408 mods from AAA will work with SAS mod activator?
Also I might be missing something but as for now i didn't find how to install sound mod 9.3 with SASmodact.
Or is there is something better than soundmod.9.3

Also thx for help.

[Gumpy]

Yes the 408 mods from AAA will work with the SAS mod activator,also if a guy knows what he's doing he can get any sound mod to work with it.

[Chupacabras84]

Thx 4 help everyone

[Sakai07]

probably just cementing this but, I used the SAS activator with a vanilla 46 install patched to 4.09. After that it was just a matter of adding whatever suited my fancy! Works great, although the Ju-88 Daywalker mod kinda messed things up 4 a while, probably my own fault tho!

See my posting intalling 4.09m patch.... Game loads and game freezes at 95%.
One of my final comments in there is success: an unclean install.
Go SAS et.c ; it's all there. That should give you lot of info. :!:

PS.: I'm a late user of Sound-Mods. Pached to 4,09b1m just recently from 4,08m and still
not a user of UNI 1.1 or UNI 1,2.
I download UNI 1,1 a while ago. Looked at its (huge) content. Had most of its mods already.
Applied some newer versions from it. Realised that the old file list mods had been moved
to MODS. Had already done so for a series of them in order to aply default skins. Converted
my names to names used in UNI1.1. Proceeded to move more cockpits from files and delete
their entries (file-list) and parts(files). About 75% done. Just know how. My maps patchs are
activated by file-list. It's shrinking. I'm a slow goer and like to understand what i'm doing.
Very patient and this is all very interresthing... Applied coupple of files that seem more uptodate.
Not realy using UNI1,1 and certainly not UNI1,2, and it is what you where looking for.
I have Mig15bis up and running in spite of .... GOOOOD!!!! Resolved my patching to 4,09m.
All is working. Has I speek I now miss 4,09 compatible new maps: I want BOB and certenly
SINAI,Israel; going to install F86A5 now and hope to preserve X86.
PPS.: I hate overwrites of my stuff by those big invaders that dont have it all, afterall.
(Changing my files names to theirs wont help there !! Arghhhhh!!! )

Only problem, I will need a new computer soon, unless I dedicate the one I have. No more space.
Vista or Windows7 open new cans of worms. Have two Windows XP in box, unactivated
ready to install in a partition if need be ( French and english versions) An other portable
, 4years old, just lost 1 gig of ram, out of 2, no parts available, timer is ticking...
I know about HSFX, been there; their mods consume twice less space. New stuff but compatible?
If not; more computers and throw out the frige; kidding; As usual I will take my time. A lot off it! :bumbed
