http://161.53.204.25/TEST/HSFX_Version_4_1.EXE.torrent

Hi, I get a question about the 2. step of installation HSFX v4 and v4.1 - If you downloaded IL-2 (Digital version), instead of installing from the CD, get update Patch...

I read about this step in Installation Instructions, but I would be glad, if someone could explain me why I should apply patch (Ubi fix). What does he do, whats wrong with the modded game without this patch etc.

I have digital version IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 4.08 from GOG.com, I applied official 4.09 patch and then HSFX v4 (WITHOUT patch/ubi fix mentioned in 2.step of Installation Instructions). Game runs fine till now.

I would like to know if I should expect any kind of troubles and mainly what is this mysterious patch/ubi fix. Maybe it should be possible to include it into official version of Sturmovik on GOG.com, because they upgrade their downloadable version on 4.09 anyway, so there must be way to put the patch into the game installer.

Thank you for your answer for my courious question.

Cmirko thanks for the link much appreciated! Can't wait to give this a spin, especially the 6DOF which is something I've been missing since playing Black Shark!

What exactly is the "AI Certificate 3.0"? Is that an older version of the AI? Or is it a re-working of the AI code?

And what significant changes does it make to AI?

I don't care for the perfect flying of AI at the moment and have always thought it could use some reverting back to older versions or re-worked so its interesting to me to say the least!

'What exactly is the "AI Certificate 3.0"? Is that an older version of the AI? Or is it a re-working of the AI code?

Its a complete reworking of the AI code by a programmer called Certificate and its extremely good.
It changes a lot and much too much to list, aircraft speed depends on AI skill, you see scissors a lot more often, AI wingmen do their job better. The constant rolling evasion is rare. Aircraft dive frequently when in trouble. You can even surprise aircraft completely on occasion.
Its not perfect but its a far cry from from the stock AI.
I play a lot of co-op type missions with squads online, its a lot more difficult sometimes to tell which aircraft are players and which are AI with this.

Thanks Chap thats exactly what I was hoping to hear. Sounds like I need to install this mod (just finished d/ling actually)!
