* The Daidalos Team patch 4.10m is hosted at Mission4Today. A SimHQ interview with the patch's developers can be read here. SimHQ is also hosting the download plus the guides, Skins Pack and the Server patch. The 4.09m skinpack download is also linked on that page. This replaces the beta version linked above. * The final version of the 4.09m patch was released in October of 2009. Also, if you want to use the accompanying new default skins file, it must be installed after the main 4.09 beta patch's files. If you choose to use the beta be sure to back up or rename any files that are replaced by the beta first. This must be installed after the 4.08m patch above. * A beta version of the 4.09m patch was released on December 27, 2007. There are numerous mirror links provided at UbiSoft's Pacific Fighters homepage, but I'll let you in on a little secret: you can download the 4.08m patch directly from UbiSoft's server. After installation, you will need to update to version 4.08m.
The IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 DVD-ROM ships as version 4.07m of the game. Similarly, don't install utilities like IL2-MAT Manager or Demon's Uber-Quick Mission Generator to the Program Files folder either.
(I changed my install path to C:\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946.) VISTA puts additional protection on programs within the Program Files folder and this interferes with the game's ability to update some user preferences. * Important tip for Windows VISTA users: Do not install IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 to your Program Files folder.
So, here is my attempt to consolidate information for absolute newcomers to the series. In my opinion, there are too many links to follow, especially for somebody who doesn't know the history of this sim or where to begin with updates. Introduction: As I was waiting for the North American release of the 1946 DVD to actually become available in stores, I began downloading important patches and updates in preparation. If a link doesn't work for you, skip to Wheels_Cavu's post on - he made a valiant effort to correct the broken links and it has taken me a year to follow up it. Some of the information below may now out of date. It is now summer of 2011 and quite honestly I haven't been following the changes within the IL-2 1946 community. Pre-Introduction: This thread was started by me in early 2007 and updated by me until 2009.
