Here's a real fix, if you are running the Steam version of 1946, the EnjoyrPatch for NoAddons v5.2 should do the trick.

did you install the HSFX 5.01 hotfix?

this should fix your thing, and give you a few more campaigns i suffered from the same issue did with the russian briefing, their are actually a few fixes, and for this issue floating around... and if you want the detailed flight models you must enable the thing in jsgme called 'expert mode...' and then that will put the updated flight models in, they say its a work in progress so hopefully they will add more soon...

it appears someone has already directed you to a fix for your language problem, but here is alink for a read me file for hsfx

Ah, that's done it! The Enjoyr patch for no addons solved the russian text problem, thanks very much Porksmuggler & TK!

@Orpheus: Did you also install the skins mentioned for the EnjoyrPatch at mission4today?

@All: Does anyone knows what's the root cause for the text being shown in russian only? I installed HSFX into a clean 4.10.1m folder, added the hotfi and then used JSGME to enable the mod. After that, all briefings where shown in russian.

I've had drives quit over the years, I'll keep my backups.

At least check your 4.101 install and if you have room, copy the folder somewhere to have a working backup.

As far as stick, either get rudder pedals (highly desireable) or make sure that the stick is a twisty-stick for rudder control. Ability to control rudder well makes a large difference in how fast and well you will fly. Other things to look for in a stick are hats and buttons, sliders and/or rotary dials. More -is- better but budget... online you can get a cheap minimal but workable twisty stick for about US$25, less on special maybe.

Look into TrackIR but also check into Cachya (Google the name).

Highly recommend ThrustMaster TM 16000 Flight Stick .. the best simple *twisty* stick I've ever had .. about $30 from Tiger Direct

Actually no, I think because I'd already patched to 4.10.1 and the EnjoyR patch (iirc, it's early and I'm not certain lol) stated 4.09, so I didn't to avoid any further conflicts, and because I couldn't be bothered doing it all again. As the patch didn't cause any issues with my 4.10.1 install I'm tempted to try though.

But it is not possible to install it later (over 4.10 i.e.).

Actually, you are wrong here. I recently installed it over 4.10. I checked beforehand whether there are any files overwritten from the newer patch, and there were none. So it's definitely safe to install 4.09 skins over 4.10. About 4.10.1 I'm not sure, though.

Hi chaps another question - I've just installed UP3 RC, which is great - but when I play the RAF quick missions (which are supposedly over places like Manston etc), it puts me over some Finnish map instead of the Channel. I guess I'm missing a Channel map... any thoughts?
