1946 IL2 :: Archived

[Duckie]

Ok kids been away from this for a bit so need some help here. Running version 4.04. Now I see their up to 4.08. Do I need 1946 to continue to get to 4.08... Does 1946 merge into the rest of IL2 that is installed already?
Any info on this is greatly appreciated.. Thanks guys. Hope all is well with everyone..

Hi Duckie,

The latest version of FB/PF is 4.04. If you want to go higher you need the 1946 DVD and the latest patch.

1946 contains FB/Aces and PF as a merged version, I think you can merge the 1946 into your FB/PF merged version without a complete install (I may be wrong).

Most people play the 1946 version, there are some who still play PF stand alone.

Kitform: I appreciate your responce, thank you Sir. So 1946 it is. Hope all is well on your end.

Don't know if you have a source for the 4.08 patch but here's a link to it.

Hiya Duckie!

Yep, 1946 IS the game to get and as Kit said, update to 4.08 and you should be good to go... (down in flames that is...lol)

Hey Duckie, look forward to you and maybe MD getting back in the saddle, don't forget to wax them wings down first lol

...and set your bomb delays to "Zero"... (snickering and runnin' off laughin')...

Kitform: I do have the 4.08 patch. Just need the 1946 which is on it's way. Bomber racing?? I can certainly get behind that.... sounds like fun. when I'm set up will be in touch to get the details thanks again.

Sounds like your all sorted.

Look forward to a bit of flying with you.

As to bomber racing, don't listen to Bushy , I don't think he's ever made it over the first hill with his bombing plan

The secret is...Get in front...

[Duckie]

Ok I have all the goodies installed Game and 4.08 patch. Now can anyone explain to me how to get hyperlobby to find the path of 1946 from the 4.04 version... I've been away from this stuff to long geeeeeshhhhhhhhhhh. And to think that at one time I taught Bush everything he knows.........

There is not a set lobby for 1946.

Since 1946 is an upgrade to FB/PF merged version, you play it just like FB.

Just use the FB lobby on HL.

ROFLMAO...and you want to brag about that?...lol

Ok so by now you guys are ready to take me out side and bitch slap me around for a bit. Apon actually reading something about this I presume that the 1946 has to be installed as an add on to FB_AEP_PF. If I understand this correctly I then need the 4.07 patch. But for which one. 1946 or the already merged version 4.04 FG etc... before I can patch the 4.08. And if I do need the 4.07 patch where can I get that? Geeeeeshhhh maybe I should just take up bowling.............

And Bush seeing what you've built with this site goes to show me you've forgotten more than I know about this stuff.....

Thank guys Looking forward to some bomber races.........

Yes if you already have FB/PF installed as a merged version.

If I understand this correctly I then need the 4.07 patch. But for which one. 1946 or the already merged version 4.04 FG etc... before I can patch the 4.08.

You can only patch the merged FB/PF to 4.04m You can only go up to 4.08 with 1946 installed.

The Il-2 1946 add-on v.4.08m installs only over v.4.07m (1946 DVD or FB+AEP+PF+46 merged).

- Duckie

And if I do need the 4.07 patch where can I get that?

Hmm, isn't 1946 already at 4.07 ??? Been that long I can't remeber, also if there was a 4.07 patch I should have had it stored on hard drive, which I don't so I don't think there is a 4.07 patch. But I'll keep looking just incase.
