Is that switcher program for use with the modded versions of the game? Or just for plane jane IL-2?
I know there are a lot of versions switchers out there.
If you want my suggestion, it would be to re-install 4.08, make a backup copy, then go to the AAA boards located here:
http://allaircraftarcade.com/forum/index.php
Register with the boards, then download the 'UNIFIED INSTALLER'. (first thread on the top board on AAA)
This is a selection of the best mods, which also comes with a switcher.
It will allow you to select standard 4.08, 4.09, 4.08 modded, and 4.09 modded. It is basically foolproof.
This way you will be able to select whatever game version you want with the click of a mouse. Plus you get the fun of flying all the AI aircraft, all the newly created modded aircraft, with the new sounds, new maps, etc.
