Thanks.

As far as I know you can just copy the 4.10 install folders to a new place and upgrade that. At least it has worked in the past with other patches.

Since my previous computer crashed and I lost the 4.10 install folder and all related contents, I assume that the previous posting which states I also have to load 4.08 and 4.09 prior to 4.10 and 4.11 is correct?
Thanks.

Correct.

patch 4.08m is on the "Il-2 Sturmovik: 1946"-CD (4.071m)

1. patch 4.09m
2. 4.09 skinpack, which is not mandatory (but recommended) and cannot be installed later

Other Locations:
4.08m: @mission4today.com
4.09m: @mission4today.com
4.09m SkinPack: @mission4today.com

It surely can be installed later, since it doesn't overwrite any of the files in later patches. It just replaces the default skins (which were rather outdated and ugly) for most of the eastern front planes with better ones.

You wrote the same in this post, but if a member of Team Daidalos writes it cannot, I rather believe him, no offense meant.

I remember that there were two versions of the 4.10 patch. Do I also need to load both versions?
Thanks again for your help.

I thought you already had 4.10...

So here's the other two:

• Download and install patch 4.10m (make a backup)
• Download and install patch 4.10.1m (make a backup)

Other Locations:
4.10m: @mission4today.com
4.10.1: @mission4today.com

So, when you state I should make a "backup", this refers to making a backup copy of IL-2 after each step of the patch downloads? And if so, should I do this for all of the patch downloads?
Thanks again.

I don't do backups (well, without counting my fresh 4.07 one) and my Il-2 lives. Backups are just in case.

Make a back up of the the original working install. Then do the patch thing, testing that it works each time. When you have a final 4.101 then delete the 4.08 and copy 4.101 (you might need that for mods) then do the last patch
