noob patching from stock game

[PurpeAtome]

Hi all,
I picked up Il2 Sturmovik yesterday for 75p (!) from my local CEX store on a whim.

Wanted to patch it to the latest version, but i'm a bit confused, as far as I can tell, the latest version is 4.101, can I patch version 1 to this, straight away, or are there other patches I need to do first?

Loving this game so far (and Silent Hunter II i also picked up for 75p!)

Version 4.101 seems to included content from 1946 too, does this mean I have to buy 1946? If this is the case, what is the last patch just for Il2 sturmovik?

Sorry about the probably obvious questions, but I haver really only just discovered this game!

Thanks for any advice in advance.

The "Il-2 Sturmovik: 1946"-CD contains version 4.071m and a patch to version 4.08.

So you'll have to (and exactly in this order):

1. buy and install "Il-2 Sturmovik: 1946" (make a backup, just copy the directory)
2. Execute patch 4.08 (in the CD) (make a backup)
3. Download and install patch 4.09b1m (make a backup)
4. Download and install patch 4.10m (make a backup)
5. Download and install patch 4.10.1m (make a backup)

Hey!
Thanks for your quick response.

I don't have the Il2 sturmovik 1946 CD, I have the original Il2 Sturmovik game.

1. Does this mean i'm on the wrong forum?! (
2. What is the last patch for the original game?

1. No, not in the wrong place, wrong time maybe!
and 2. I may be wrong (and someone will be quick enough to point it out I'm sure!) but I think the original IL2 patches up to v1.2

You need to apply patch v1.1 first, then v1.2 over that.

Hi PurpeAtome,

the reason you've been offered that version of IL-2 for only 75p is that this is the 1.0(?) version from 2001 and there's no way to patch that to the current 4.10.1....

You'll get IL-2 1946 for say USD 5, Euro 2,99 or something similiar somewhere (check the big store round the corner). Invest that, install it, and then follow the update/patch-path (at no cost) I described.

Where are you located? Maybe somone here can point you to a source.

Amazon is the way forward, only £5 + P&P! (Assuming he's in the UK...)
