Thanks; I downloaded the Italian campaign & patch. I unzipped it into the main IL 2 folder. Then I reinstalled the veltro/folgore missions.
EDIT: OK I did like the M4T memo says: I unzipped it in a folder then I manually copied the Missions, PaintSchemes and samples into my main folder; Did the same with the Patch; THEN I unzipped the veltro/folgore missions into my main folder
When I restarted the game I only found the Italian air campaign in Greece.
Perhaps I need the Aces Expansion Pack? But As I understand it, the AEP is already part of FB so it should be part of 1946?

OK, where did you get a Greek folder? I have none in my 4.13.4 install.
This: "THEN I unzipped the veltro/folgore missions into my main folder" may be a problem.
The veltro/folgore campaign FOLDERS need to be in the Campaigns/Italy Folder.
I hope it works. No I mean when I go to the Italian campaign folder the only missions are the 'Balkans' campaign which are the missions set in Greece. I shall try again. Nope; even though I unzip the Veltro/Folgore campaigns directly into the Italy folder all I get is still the Balkans Mission set.

I haven't tried to install it yet since I don't have a build past 4.13 yet. I have opened the Folgore campaign and looked at its contents and everything looks in order. Jupiters Wrath, Folgore: http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=5317Are you installing everything in the download or just the Folgore folder into the IT folder? I will need to create a build that will allow me to test a theory. I suspect there may be an issue with the info.properties file in his campaigns. He seems to be using a modified version of the properties file that the game may not be reading? Wheels

Wheels OK thanks; First: I unzipped the Italian Campaign download in a folder then I manually copied the Missions, PaintSchemes and samples into my main folder; Did the same with the Patch; Then I unzip the Veltro and the Folgore mission packs into the IT folder. So that is where I am so far. As always I declarer I am not that technically adept so I cannot guarantee I'm doing the right thing or even understand what I am being told to do. Now I don't know if it makes a difference but here is my pathway to the Italian campaign folder: C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\Missions\Campaign\IT And I unzip the files using 7-zip.

OK, there is another possibility,
When you open \Missions\Campaign\IT does the IT folder contain a Balkans folder and a Folgore folder and a Veltro folder?
Or does it contain a Balkans folder and a Folgor11 folder and a Veltro11 folder?
If they are Folgor11 and Veltro11, those two folders must be opened and their contents placed in the proper places.
I have, at times, not opened the zips far enough so if you did not, you are not alone.
BTW, I can run both campaigns in 4.13.4.

Open the FOLGOR11 folder and inside are 3 folders, MISSIONS, PaintSchemes and Pics plus a README.txt.
Put the MISSIONS folder and the PaintSchemes folder into the main game folder.
The pics and readme can go there too.
Repeat with the Veltro11 folder.
So, copy & paste in the MAIN folder, NOT the IT campaign folder? let's see...IT WORKS!! MANY thanks
