Hi all, hope everyone's enjoying their weekend..
I'll try to makle this as short as possible. After happily running UI1.0 for some time now, I've eventually gone and done a fresh install with UI1.1. From the outset, I've had some issues that are worrying me.
In the initial install, one of the rar files was corrupt. I identified it and replaced it with a good one. Right. Straight UI 1.1 install, onto a fresh version of 4.08m. The first issue I had was that there was no 6DOF working at all. I tried every option avaialble - nothing worked.
Eventually, another member helped me out by sending me his folder that worked(after he encountered the same issues with his install), a folder called XY from the 6DOF mouse download here at AAA. The folder has 3 files: 6EABC2640E2C18C4, 65A9E2D846D578F2 and AED23A24CF06FFE0.
With this folder in my MODS folder, the 6DOF works.
At this stage, I have no other mods. It's stock UI1.1, with the language fix and RAF ranks fix.
Oh, also the UI1.1.1 patch. :wink:
Still, a few things are worrying me. I no longer have the switch files EAX_ON, EAX_OFF, MkII_Gyro_On and MkII_Gyro_Off with this UI1.1 install. Is this correct?
Are they noit meant to be in the UI1.1?
Ok, so the first mod I tried to add, was the AAA_PAT_smoke and Camera mod.
Installed easily enough, but it doesn't seem to work properly. I can cycle through the new views with the F8 key, but the tilt/rotate camera function that is normally enabled with F9 doesn't have any effect. So, basically it doesn't have that function...
The reason I'm quite frustrated at this point, is that we are meant to be using the UI1.1 to provide a stable platform for future mods from this site. Right? Or wrong?
Either way, that's what I was hoping for from the UI1.1.
How do I know whats gone wrong from the straight install?
Is the XY folder somehow causing the PAT camera not to work? There don't seem to be any conflicting files...
I really would like to get this sorted, if I don't have faith that my 'base install' is right, how am I going to go further down the modding road.... :wink:
Thanks in advance for any assisitance... 8)

Hmm weird. ive had no problems at all when installing UI11+ Patch 111 on to a fresh copy of IL21946.
Did you start the game after each install???
Ive been told to do so and have tried to install without doing it too with the resoult of alot of problems.
When installing 1946 then start up the game. do it again when installing the 408 patch and again when installing the UI11 and then the patch UI1111. it may help with your problem!!

To be honest, I'm not sure now if I ran the game before the mod install.
I'll give that a go, thanks,hawk.. 8)
I thought I'd been through the worst install problems in the past, now I'm having issues that seem completely random...

Ok, uninstalled, reinstalled from scratch (4th time):
1946
4.08 patch - played the game. fine.
UI1.1 - played the game. No 6DOF, with either option...



,,,after much more of this, I'll have to post pics of a p*ssed-off Kojak, cause I doubt i'll have much hair left... :roll:

I am also having some similar issues!

I recently got a new computer and backed my full install to a USB drive, reinstalled IL2 from the disk and pasted my entire install back over the top. I do not see the EAX switchers either plus my game switcher doesn't work, giving me an application error and I always get a Hungarian pilot as a default now regardless of what nationality I choose.

I don't know if it is as straight forward as it sounds to start from scratch again!

Been too long for myself, but others were installing it on ventrilo.

It sounded like they did:
1946
4.08m
UI 1.1
Patch UI 1.1.1

Ogdens, just out of curiosity...the Hungarian pilot you are getting, would it be Hu_14, by any chance?
I had this mad problem on my UI 1.0, and I really didn't like that pilot skin, so I took a pilot skin of elephant's that I like, and renamed it Hu_14.bmp. That sorted it out for me, but I still have no idea why the game always wanted to load that particular skin??

[No105_Ogdens]

Yes, that's the one. I'll try that if the problem persists.

I also noticed I don't have the Gyro gunsight batch files either, even though I completely re-installed V1.1. According to the readme they were included!

Edit: I fixed the switcher not working problem, I hadn't installed Microsoft Framework! No idea what happened to my missing batch files though.

Have you guys installed all versions of dot.net and the newest java at all??
That might be your problem?
If you dont know download a lill program called update checker from filehippo.
If you dont have dot.net installed or updated your java then do it.

It seems weird for me that you guys are missing so much files and things dont work if you have downloaded the UI 1.1 fully..
Also check for -(minus) in front of filenames in mod folder.if a minus in front of name the mod is deactivated. simply remove the minus to make it work..
But i guess you all ready know that one!

VF10Hawk, I have .NET framework 2.0 and the latest Java - so that's not the problem. The good news is that I've got my install working properly -
I did a walkthrough install with Bingo1957, and it turns out that those files do not appear with the UI 1.1 install, at least not on his, either. My problem was the 6DOF - I wasn't aware that the UI 1.1 6DOF is for TIR users, and when I initially tried to use another folder with the mouse version, all it did was freeze my in-cockpit movement. There were 2 versions, a 'Look Arround' version and an 'XY' version. I initially used the 'XY' version, but for some reason, the 'Look Around' version works with 1.1, at least for me.
Long story short - All fixed, UI1.1 working perfectly!!
