Coming back to IL-2

Win 7 (or Vista) treats anything in 'Program files' as read-only by default, which can lead to problems.

Yes, you can't edit the conf.ini etc. Generally it's a hassle and you will always find some-sort of problem

I´m running Il2 in Win 7 flawless, but I remember somebody here posted a trick to do the instalation in a proper way (running "a" like administrator, I don´t remember exactly)

Interesting, it seems the conf.ini file is allowing me to edit it though. I mean, I've saved the file with my changes, and when I go back the file is there, and it is saved. What could I be missing?

The other issue with program files with win7/Vista is if you have more than one user on the PC. Windows seems to want to create create a hidden entry under the users file area and store any changes there. To the original user changed .ini files etc "appear" to be in program files but they really aren't. This can cause some rather odd results when logging in as a different user.

Thanks for the heads up.

I recently found something called ULTRA PACK. Seems to have a lot of stuff. But, really the list in it is long and all I really wanted was some additional eye candy enhancements.
