Thanks Wheels, it's not the money, it's the principle. I was one of the lead anti-Sucu-Rom rabble rousers prior to and when 46 was released, sadly been proven right.

Gonna find a way to beat it just for principle. One thing about the internetz, more ways to be found around Crappy Protection then there are places to buy Viagra.

DBW didn't even get 4.11 support. You are much better off updating to HSFX as they did do a proper 4.11 and will likely do a 4.12 - just wait a bit and see what happens.

My install keeps freezing when I hit the 'quick mission' button, I have to totally reboot the computer. This after applying the 4.12 patch.

anyone know a fix?

Go to Quicks folder and delete .last.quick - this will do the trick.

Wow, been a long time but this new patch has got me wanting to fire up IL-2 again. I'm a bit confused though guys.....is it really neccessary to downgrade? I lost my old 1946 disk, so I purchased the new download version for a fresh install...

No, you don't need to downgrade.

However, I find 4.11 with HSFX far better than 4.12

4.12 doesn't have the f-80s, f-84s, f9fs, doesn't have the flyby sounds, which are absolutely KILLAH, etc

Beware the changes to ai coms (TAB menu) kind of FUBAR use of voice control aps like Shoot and VAC.
I thought it would just be a matter of reprograming my Shoot map for IL2 ... until I discovered that the number combinations now depend on how many planes are in your flight. They are not universal. Call for help, for example, is TAB 7 in a mission where it's just you and a wingman, but TAB 8 if there's a 3rd or 4th plane in your flight.

I noticed that too and think it was a mistake for them to change to multiple commands for the very reason you mention. I also know that I have already used the wrong command when I was in a hurry and didn't read the drop down list.

Clarification. I'm currently running IL 2 Forgotten Battles with a number of modded skins and campaigns. Should I start from scratch with a new installation, patched to 4.11 then add the 4.12 patch?

Yes.
If you try to patch your modded version of the sim it will almost certainly crash.

This patching guide at M4T will help you if you don't remember the patching sequence.
IL-2 1946 Installation and Patching Guide: http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Knowledge_Base&op=show&kid=584

You can get any of the patches that you need right here at SimHQ in the IL-2 Series Downloads forum.

(You need to be logged into SimHQ to download the patches in the IL-2 Series Downloads forum.)

Hunter, you need 1946. These patches do nothing for Forgotten Battles.

You can grab it for 5$ at GoodOldGames:

Ok JAMF, what I have loaded is IL-2 Forgotten Battles, Aces Expansion Pack which I thought included 46.
Am I good to go?

No, thats not all. '46 also contained the addons 'Pe-2 Peshka', '1946' and 'Sturmoviks over Mandshuria'.
'46 is the only thing you can go on from.

Sadly, no. Having FB with AEP will not work. Even if FB and AEP are in 1946 (and also Pacific Fighters and Pe-2), the patches and mods have used 1946 as the base to build upon.

You'll have to spend some money to get 1946.

[EDIT] Beat to the punch by Caspar. Watching Blackadder II doesn't help.
