I have no problem with the I-15 and I-16 types. I use them regularly.
My install has v4.11 and Hotfix patched on a "working" v4.101

A step-by-step reinstallation has revealed that this problem occurs starting with patch 4.10m. I have like 10 I-16 models selectable, and only a couple are playable. I have no idea how to fix this...

Maybe your v4.10 patch is a corrupted download?

I have downloaded the patch 3 times from 3 different sources and it had different sizes and the problem still persists. It would take messing with the game files to fix this and I bet I'll get sick of Il-2 before I find the patience to solve the problem :)
Thank you for your responses!

Here are the official links for v4.10 http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=17765

I have a poor internet service so I always use the torrent link at Mission4Today to download the patches. I find this very reliable. http://www.mission4today.com/index.p...etails&id=3997

Info for next time:
You can find the manuals/readme in the il2 main folder, with each new version come new documents, one pdf plus one word doc.;)

Lol, wrong thread mate :grin:

Try downloading with the Torrent. Far less risky for getting corrupt data when downloading via browser.

Did that, all the 4.10m patches I found are the same, non were corrupt.
The thing is, some time ago I had the Ultr@ Pack installed (RC3 I think), and even though I properly uninstalled it and the game at that time, I think it may have left some files behind on the system drive or something, and these may be messing with my game. It's my only idea...

Are you sure? :-)
