I have heard that I can get my B-26 & the FW190-F equipped with 'panzerblitz' AT rockets with DBW; what else does it offer me, an off line player? DO I get new maps, new campaigns & new planes to fly?

Let me know, please;

Thanks ahead of time.

Yes. Yes. Yes. How's that? The campaigns are in the mod section of M4T, but they are there. Several new ones have been developed specifically for DBW.

OK; I actually mean what does it 'come with', right off the download--I should have been more clear. In any case is DWB a 'stand alone' mod or does it have to be used in tandem with another 'accessory/mod pack'? I only ask because of 'shortcomings' in my technical abilities--no sense downloading it if I have no idea what I am doing.

DBW (a.k.a. Dark Blue World) is a mod pack designed to be used in conjunction with Ultra Pack 3.0 RC4.

That being said, they have an all in one Super Modpack that will take a clean, stock install of the base game, IL-2 1946, from whatever source, whether that is DVD or whatever, and bring it up to a full Dark Blue World 1.71 install. You also have the option, through a selector program they provide, of playing any one of a number of different 'versions' of the game, from Stock 4.101m, to UP 3.0, to DBW, to DBW 1916 (a.k.a. WWI) and I hear they are working on a Jet mod for those looking to fly Korea.

You can find downloads for it on their website. You can also find the 19 parts of the Dark Blue World F'n Big Super Mod Pack in the downloads section of my squads website, as we fly with Dark Blue World. You can send me a PM if you have any problems, I would be more than happy to help.

There are a ton of added planes and other effects, including an improved AI for the enemy. For an offline player I would also recommend DCG and the DBW update for DCG (this gives you a ton of options for whatever campaign type you would like to fly).

Also, if your at all interested in flying with a group in a Co-Op campaign, against AI opponents, RAF-65 is always recruiting. You can check us out at www.RAF-65.com.

Best of luck, and let me know if you have any questions or if I can help with anything.

Start here. http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?board=189.0

The list of specifically what is included has grown, so you will need to start with the original read me and progress through the latest build to see what all has been included.

Here: http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/board,192.0.html

You will find the install packs and updates. You will also see the clean modding packs which are pre-packaged mod packs for you to install and then enable with JSGME. The read me's explain what is included in each one. wave

Hey Lupus; just so I am clear is the DBW F'n Big Super Mod Pack an 'all in one download' mod? I have heard that I gotta download a few versions of 'ultrapack' and then download DBW on top of it...In order to save time & my sanity is there a more streamlined way to do this? Maybe send a $20 to somebody who can burn me a CD & mail it to me?

TIA

No, the actual package is massive.
