Should I install this mod and if so can I install it over my EnjoyR patched game?

Stab installs into its own folder and will not mess anything up.

Whether or not you should install it depends on what you need from it.

I use it for the ability to enable historic markings on German and Finnish planes and some other things.

FWIW, IL-2 Stab isn't a "mod" but a third-party utility that has been around for a long time. IL-2 Stab allows the player access to many features that the game itself doesn't give to the player. Enabling historic markings being one of those features.

ok, installed, great tool. I opened a war diary to see what it was about, looks like it will be enjoyable doing that, except I only had the choice of 3 luftwaffe campaigns, Fighter/The Rebel/Burning Streak: so opened the fighter one anyway to have a look but it won't now let me delete it, nor have I started the Fighter Campaign in IL2 1946, although the diary is set up for my 1st mission in that campaign.

I have been through the readme and cannot find out the problem or how to troubleshoot it, any help appreciated.

Switched to another Pilot in the Il2 main page, exited back out and opened the diary again, I did not select any options at all and it has one set up for Luftwaffe fighter, again no option to delete, what did I do wrong? I'm puzzled.

Wish I could answer your questions, but I've never used Stab much myself. Not that it isn't a neat utility ... I just never got around to using it.

Check the sticky threads up at the top for links to Stab and it's home forum area. I'm sure your questions could be answered there if nobody here can.

Hmm... Couldn't find the links and/or forums I thought were there. The readme stated *this* is the forum to ask questions in, so ... Mattm is probably lurking around here somewhere. Stab is his baby, he should be able to answer detailed questions.

Well, I have not been able to find any more info of this, so unless anyone has any ideas I just try and forget about it till I figure out more about the utility.
