Any one here still use Aces and Grat`s amazing Mat Manager ? I have become so disatisfied with CLOD (that is another story) I have returned to the best (in my opinion) and re installed 1946.I have installed the Mat Manager and have copied created and renamed the il2fb launch application to il2.exe.
Mat Manager cannot find the path to the exe so what have I done wrong ?


Cheers,

Paul

instructo`s mate,


Procedure after you install the program:

1) Copy your 1946 game's "il2fb.exe" and rename the copy to "il2.exe." (You should now have both versions in your game's main folder. Don't simply rename il2fb.exe or else Hyperlobby and other utilities won't work.)

Have you checked to make sure you don't have an extra space in the renamed file? It's easy to do and very easily missed since everything looks correct.

Just renstalled all my Il2 clobber in Win 7 including mat manager and all works flawlessly, only notable exception being Il2 Stab.

Cheers

As a sidenote to anyone renaming files like this: Make sure that the properties of the folder is set to show
file extensions for all files. If not you will advertently name the file ???.exe.exe beacuse the extension
don't show as standard.

Thats why it worked when you removed .exe from it.

Regards
