Help please! I don't know how to patch for my friend
 

Sorry to bother you guys. My friend who wanted to learn flight sim and he is very enthusiastic about it. However since no shop is selling the IL-2 games anymore, he only bought the V4.04 version. And that was the last copy of the game in any shops with in at least 200km radios. Now we are struggling due to we cannot play together online since I use the v4.101 version. I tried to give him my v4.08 patch. But game refuse to work after installation.

If anyone knows how to get the game back on its feet and allow us to play online, we would be very grateful.

Thank you in advance whoever you are.

We don't need any add-ons that in later version, just want to bring the game to V4.101 standards so we can enjoy together.

By the way, I heard the V4.11 patch is out, can anyone tell me where can I download it? Thanks again

Hi Flanker,

Here's the link to version 4.11:

As for patching up to this from your friends version I really don't know. You can pick up a new copy of 1946 (v4.07) from ebay/amazon for about £5. Might just be easier to do that.

I had the exact same issue with my mate I persuaded to get into flight sim last year...he had to get a new disc.

pheraps steam?

you can downlaod from there and im preatty sure there is a "no-steam" patch

Isn't 4.04 still Pacific Flyers and because of that it doesn't include PE2, Sturmoviks Over Manchuria, 1946? As far as I know there's no way to patch up unless you buy IL2 1946.... or each addon seperately.

From IL2 1946 you apply 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.101 and then finally 4.11. There's no way to get there from 4.04.

I bet, there atill many e-stores, that can ship it to you in a few days. i.e.:

http://www.amazon.com/-2-Sturmovik-1...dp/B000MWF5UQ/

this is correct, he purchased the wrong version gamefly.com is now selling it from the now defunct D2Drive.com store you want IL2 Sturmovik 1946 it will be 4.07m you need to or 4.08m

Or ebay.

Or the not so legal download way.

This is maybe not the right place for such a hint.
Nethertheless I would rather save the $8,86 on my power bill for letting the PC run all the night and get a nice paper package with DVD instead. ;)

Thanks guys

I believe there was a 4.05 and a 4.06 patch but it was not around very long and you would be hard pressed to find it.Once 1946 came out it was 4.07 so there is no way to go from 4.06 to 4.07 without the 1946 DVD(or download).
