Also:

The server can now check for changes on the client-side game modules, i.e. ensure the modules were not modified. To enable the check, a new key was added to the conf.ini file.

In order to set the client-side verification parameters you will need to manually edit the conf.ini file located in your main game folder before launching the game. Open the file with a text editor, find the [NET] section and in the checkRuntime = line write in either 0 or 1 (or 2), then save the file. If the checkRuntime = line does not exist in your conf.ini file, add it to the end of the [NET] section.

checkRuntime=0-no check is made (default);
checkRuntime=1-quick check;
checkRuntime=2-comprehensive check.

NOTE: during the comprehensive check, if the client runs a different OS version from the client, the check may identify the OS differences as changes in game modules.

Airbase Restriction:

Unofficially....... files.games.1c.ru/il2pict/408m.exe

Note to anyone currently using IL2 Version Switcher. Please see this post for special installation of patch 4.08, or switcher will no longer function. This does mean that the beta patch 4.071 will no longer be available if you do not use IL2 switcher instructions and do the normal patch install.

The link (that was here) was edited to remove the instructions due to issues....... PM me if anyone would like instructions.

Official Patch 4.08 is released. See link for download mirrors.
