noob patching from stock game

[Artist]

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...)

Probably you're right - but IL-2 1946 has long become pyramid-ware (correct idiom?) in the big stores, so it should be much cheaper there - and no P&P...

PS: When I bought it at Amazon.de it was 9,99 Euro plus a 5 Euro fee for personal age-verification by the postman. No joke: It had/has a 12+ youth protection...

I suppose one of the big computer stores may have copies of it still, but I doubt they'll be cheaper. My local PC World still has copies of Forgotten Battles for £5!

Haha that sucks.
