Well tested.

Any problems with it, just post here.

I have it setup as if your sim was in c:\program files\ubisoft\il-2 sturmovik 1946.
If your sim is in a different location, you'll have to edit the batch files and their shortcuts to reflect the different location. Enjoy!

Thanks Mate, your effort is well appreciated!

Do you need to install the 4.09b before you install this?

I would think this utility would just remove the stuff applied in the 4.09b patch.

I think of it as:

So, if it removes the 4.09b and you are back to 4.08m... voila! then one would think you switch to 4.09b and it adds the stuff from 4.09b.

Thought I'd ask

Thanks Monterey this is EXACTLY what I was looking for and thanks for talking me through the mistake I made.
This is a brilliant little utuility, the way I do it is I have 2 versions of game 4.08 on one drive and 4.09 on another.
I extracted the utility(very simple to do) into my 4.09 game and now I can sitch between versions on the 4.09 game only(I use the 4.08 for online HL etc).

However if I change the path in HL to my 4.09 game it makes it EASY to switch back and forth for online games using my 4.09 version ONLY indeed I could easily just delete my stock 4.08 on my E drive although I want to keep it "just in case" :)

Yes, Nearmiss, you must install the 4.09b patch, then the 4.09b skinpack. Then you install the switcher, and your game switches betwen the 2 versions with the click of a mouse.

Always make a backup of your original 1946 folder before you install anything.

117 downloads so far. Looks good.

145 counting me,..Thanks for the hard work.

Thanks for the great work - gonna spend a few hours with dll-testing tonight ;)

Thanks Monterey :)

First off. This app works great. I do have a question, in the readme it says to place the two "Redtail" icons on the desktop, but mine have no icon for them, its the generic windows thing a ma bob. They work though.
