Thanks to everyone involved for this great add on!

It's here people!!

Yipii, Xmas is early this year!

Daidalos Team would like to thank all those who made their mirror servers available for the 4.09 patch download. S!

And I would like to thank you for giving us planes that I thought I would never see in the Il2 series, and I'm sure my thanks extended to everyone who is currentlly playing/downloading the patch.

Big big thanks to you guyz @ Diadalos Team!

Thanks guys. So bring on some screenshots and videos! (after you download and install of course).

Please fix mirror urls. Url like http://www.diavolirossi.net/it...load=13%3Apatch-4.09 is not vali. It is real value in HREF

Figures and I'm at freakin work and don't have a remote connection to home.
Now the day is really going to drag.
Thanks for all the work 1c and Daidalos

Fixed Tomasko

Supr dekuji. Uz sem to nasel in na 1c forum. Ale diky. lepsi to mit funkcni kdyz sem prijde line jelito jako ja

Nice job all

Nice job, thanks all.

Where are my manners

Yes thanks all

Cheers! Christmas is here.

Guess its to much to ask for a link that works. 11k isn't gonna cut it from the one server that seems to be working.

Thanks Team Daidalus!

Now, i want to download the torrent from the link, but i can't find where i have to double click to download the .torrent file. .
I don't know if i'm blind, i%$ot, or both. >:(

You have to register to Mission4Today to make downloading possible.

Thanks, in that case i'll use another mirror.

BIG Thanks Team Daidalus!

Note to self: Dust of copy of IL2, drink a beer, download update, drink a beer, install IL2, drink a beer, install patch, drink a beer, look in amazement at the additions, drink a beer and finally fall over from so many beers!

I really need to think about this...Hmmm...
Should I make a backup of my copy now, install a new copy and run it for 409...

Sounds like a plan

Why are we not finding this 4.09 patch at the Ubisoft site? Or is not the official patch?
Badbud
www.simflite.com

Ubisoft isn't taking part in this. This is between 1C - Maddox Games and Team Daidalos.

anyone else having issues downloading the patch? I get about 5% done and it stops.

Nothing but troubles. File stops at 15% from the one link that will work.
Unbelievable.

I think using torrent would be the best way to distribute, but I just do not want to register on mission4today because of this.

Registering on M4T is simple and pretty non-invasive. I d/l the torrent file, unzipped it, double clicked on it to load utorrent (my fave torrent client) and now 1 hour later I have the patch. Simple. Now busy paying back by letting utorrent run while I do a clean install of '46. I only wish the new skins file was available by torrent - currently downloading at 5.4 kB/sec ...

RedToo.

Yeah, I see your point, but I have registered way too many times this year, on sites usually not visited by me later on. I had enough.
I do not understand why this cannot be released on a public tracker.
And do not misunderstand me, my best weapon is patience, I'll try tomorrow.

Downloading Torrent, and will leave the PC on for tonight and tommorow to help share it.

Used Torrent. 30 minutes and you got it with 6000 kBit/s connection.

And if you're patient enough, you could wait a few days until the rush subsides..

We are a patient lot, we've been patient for quite a while now

RedToo.

I tried Mission4Today, registered first, and left it run for a couple of hours while I was out. When I returned the dl was complete for 75mb. I'm assuming it's porked since it is suppose to 500+mb! Oh well, will try again at another time.

I got it

Gotta love the new land geometry and skins

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/daniel.clarke17/il2_409.jpg

Thanks to all who made this possible. Ho ho, I've got the next three days off work - it's the thanksgiving holiday over here in Korea. Nice timing

Once I've had a play I'm gonna need some help from some of you in the community to finish off my aircraft veiwer program. Does anybody know where I can get IL2Compare in-game data fro the new aircraft? Thanks.

THX for 4.09 guys, seems to be amazing work.

Downloaded and works fine.

`night

Karsten

Finaly downloaded and it working nice. new Avia and Smolik are great with SK map. Thanks a lot.

I have the AAA unifed installer so that 6dof Trackir works in the game. Is this patch going to screw up my install? I don't think I can go back to playing without 6dof.

I've got the same question.

My guess is that we'll have to wait for AAA to update its installer as a follow up to the 409m patch?

Will this install on top of 409b1m.zip? This is the beta version.

I went and risked it, and just installed it over my old install. Works fine. It doesn't affect your modded 4.09 beta. I've got both. It does not install any of the new stuff into your old modded beta, they just live side by side and seem to leave each other alone. Was expecting problems, but it's okay.

Great news! Thanks to all involved for the hard work!

Okay, I just went to go and play the unmodded new 4.09, and uh...how do you get back to it. Oops!
Well, you use the switcher to bring it to unmodded 4.08, and then run the 4.09 exe. again, and it brings it right back.
I'm going to do it this way until the AAA team come out with a new a switcher. I really don't want a dual install! The 4.09 exe. takes only a few seconds to run.
But, the good news, still, is that it doesn't screw up your AAA mods.

Thanks Team Daidalos and Oleg.

torrent at Mission4Today is worth the speed .. it's a great site anyway .. register

a bit convoluted how the .torrent is in a zip ..

I was out most of the day .. only one server was available and it had slowed down to about 25kB/s .. might have taken all night or stopped

I'm pulling from 68 seeds right now at 294kB/s my max dowmload speed from the torrent .. will take 30 minutes or so .. I'll seed it overnight..

Thanks a lot!

Got the patch I about 20 mins from the torremt.
Left it on all night and will do same today to help seeding it.

But I'm on third try for the skins.
I assume this is due to clogged bandwhith from patch downloaders.

Might be a good idea to torrent the skins as well.

Try this link for the patch:

http://www.flygflottilj16.se/fil/409m.exe

Aviar

Having to register for a torrent link is ridiculous.

Your facial hair is ridiculous. :p

I had to re-register since it's been years since i downloaded any Il2 stuff. Now, to reinstall and calibrate the TrackIR (groan)

I'm not seeing anything different! Those who are using the switcher, which version are you selecting? I'm not seeing any new planes or changes to the QMB!

I installed the patch, then to be double sure, I unzipped it to desktop and dropped the contents to my IL2 install but still nothing.

Cheers,
Ogs

Pooch - thanks for your post but just to be clear....

I have the full AAA Mods with the switcher for 4.08/4.08mods/4.08 mods + 6DOF/4.09/4.09 with mods/4.09 with mods + 6DOF

I didn't keep a backup installation of 4.08 so let me understand this correctly. To use the 1C Maddox final 4.09...

1. I use AAA Mods switcher to go to 4.08 standard.
2. To run the 1C Maddox final 4.09 I then install the 1C Maddox final 4.09 patch and run the game without further use of the switcher.
3. To get back to 4.08 I run the switcher for 4.08.
4. I never use the 4.09 switcher for the 1C Maddox final 4.09 except as steps 1 and 2 above.
5. I can still use the beta 4.09 (plus mods if I want) by using the AAA switcher for 4.09 even if I was running 1C Maddox's final 4.09 before.
6. Next time I want to use final 4.09 I do steps 1 and 2 again.
7. Mixing these final and beta 4.09s doesn't screw thing up.
8. I can install the 4.09 1C Maddox new skins and just leave them there throughout all of the above.

Is all the above correct?
Have you tried all of these?

Do I need to worry abut the 'No CD' il2fb.exe?

I did try to install the CD again after renaming the IL-2 Sturmovuk 1946 folder but it wouldn't do it

Thanks

klem

Thanks Aviar.....I got the download in 1 hour 5 minutes from that link!!!

Cheers for asking that Klem, I assume the switcher will be of no use with this final patch as it's not available for selection??

S! and a big "Thank You!" to Team Daidalos and Maddox Games for their hard work in bringing the superb content of 4.09 to us. It's great to see there's plenty of life left in IL-2 Sturmovik:1946 as we wait for Storm of War: Battle of Britain.

Now will someone please make a Regina Aeronautica SM.79 torpedo bomber campaign?

Awesome!THANK YOU!!!!!

Hi there,

my squad is now hosting the patch on our FTP, too:

ftp://ftp.stg2immelmann.de/pub/il2_patch_409m.exe

We'll be waiting for a compatible mod release before upgrading our server, though

Klem, I installed the new patch and the new skins right over my old install, and it didn't affect my modded game at all. Like I said , though, the new patch doesn't put any of the new stuff in to your modded game. I saw a screenie of an sm79 that some one did, showing the plane over the Thames in what looked like Canons map. Don't know how he did that because I don't have any of the new 4.09 planes in my modded game.
That said, however, it doesn't really bother me because I don't have any intention of flying the new planes, I really only installed the patch because I want to be up to date for playing on-line.
And yeah, just switch back to unmodded 4.08 before you put the 4.09 patch back in. That's really all there is to remember. Peice of cake!

specialaircraftservice has the solution to make mods working with the 4.09 final.

In order to switch from 4.09 unmodded to 4.09 beta u just have to replace
files.SFS
fb_3do19.SFS
fb_3do20.SFS
fb_maps15.SFS

the il2fb.exe is the same

Thanks Aviar, downloaded from site you noted in about 13 minutes without a problem. Checked out the skins download and all were over a half hour or much more. Will wait for skin sites cool a little.

Thanks to everyone who were involved in the 4.09 work!

groovy! just got it ...gonna go flyin

Hi Brummer (and Pooch)

So, I will switch to 4.08 using the AAA switcher, THEN install the 1C Maddox 4.09 final patch, THEN copy (that's COPY) the files:
files.SFS
fb_3do19.SFS
fb_3do20.SFS
fb_maps15.SFS

from the game folder to a /4.09 final/ folder I have made under /_Game Switchers/
(as these will then be the '4.09 final' ones)

Then I'll create a batch file to copy /IL-2 Sturmovik 1946/_Game Switcher/4.09 final/*.* (all files) to the game folder and I'll put a shortcut to the batch file on my desktop.

So anytime I want to use 4.09 final I switch to 4.08 (to be sure to remove the mods files) then run the batch file which will copy the '4.09 final' files to the game folder.
Then to get back to any other version I just use the AAA switcher.

Is that correct?

Sorry if I am labouring the point but I want to be sure not to screw up my installation and I will be recommending the solution to my Squad mates.

EDIT:

The AAA switcher also copies in/out the il2fb.exe. Does the 4.09m have a different .exe to 4.08m (the Mods .exe is a different size).


Thanks

klem

I would love to patch this up but rather confused...I can understand as far as "switch to 4.08 using the AAA switcher, THEN install the 1C Maddox 4.09 final patch"...the rest is a fly-by for me...

Is there an idiots guide?

S!ap

Please don't tell me that was it

#%&*$#, i reinstalled il2 1946 from cd. patched 408m. patched 409m. game will not run. no error message, just does jack squat when clicked. my os is windows7 b7100

<edit> oh look, il2.exe is 0 bytes. that dont look right. </edit>

Brummer, that SAS is a great site. Just went and registered. I'm going to hold off on using the SAS switcher for the moment, only because I fly on-lne a lot, and don't want to lose my 4.08 install. The way I'm doing it now, I still have all three, 4.08, modded 409b, and the new 4.09 final.
When I see that all of the servers have switched over, I'll go ahead and use that. Thanks.

I have the same problem as shurem above. Installed the 4.09 patch over the 4.09 Beta. When I click the il2fb.exe or il2.exe I only get the hourglass symbol for a few seconds followed by nothing. Tried running the setup program and set the graphics options to "Safe" or "Default", but no luck. Replaced the "conf.ini" with a copy I saved from a fresh install of IL2 1946. No cigar. Never had any problems with an update until now. *Sigh*

If anyone have some good ideas to get IL2 running I'd be very grateful.

On a more positive note - Hey, first post!
I've thus finally registered to the SimHQ forums I've been reading for years for news and entertainment. <- (token smilie)

Try locating the older mg_snd.dll and mg_snd_sse.dll. Apparently the newer ones supplied by Maddox Games cause a few issues with a few kinds of hardware. I saw one listed at Mission4today.com.

Would these few kinds of hardware possibly include AMD AthlonXP CPU's (the old ones with a single core) by any chance?

:edit:
Replaced the mg_snd.dll and mg_snd_see.dll with the previous versions from the 4.09 Beta. No luck. After failing to start the game, I also replaced the il2_core.dll and il2_corep4.dll in the chance that they were the culprit. Again no luck. Just an hourglass for a few seconds and then the nothingness of my desktop to stare at.

Yup, AMDs are among the affected. The same happened to me with the Beta. As I said M4T has a DLL Pack from 4.08 and that one should work.

Guys, don't install it on top of you 4.09 beta! Switch to 4.08 unmodded and then install it.Works fine.

Disco! The advice from csThor was just what the doctor ordered. Downloaded the old dll's from M4T and replaced the mg_snd.dll + mg_snd_sse.dll (but retained the il2_core.dll and il2_corep4.dll from the 4.09 package) and now everything works like a charm. Happiness!

Link to old dll'd at M4T just in case someone else stumbles across this thread with the same problem:
http://mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads&get=3768

Many thanks to team Daidalus and all the persons involved in creating this stellar update to IL2!
Just started up the Slowakia summer map from the improved QMB, and I'm planning to spend some quality time over that place. Very nice map. Still a bunch more to explore. Good times ahead. :-)

@ Klem the unmodded 4.09 beta ilsfb.exe and 4.09 final il2fb.exe are the same. I use the one with 4.442 KB.

The same is true for modded versions of 4.08 and 4.09 beta. You use the one with 156 KB.

In order to change from a modded version to an unmodded one you have to exchange the il2fb.exe and all if necessary other files with the same name but different sizes(files.sfs, mgsound*.dlls etc.).

You might have found it out on your own.

Some nice touches I've noticed thus far:

* S-328 has paraflares as part of its loadout. It would be nice to get this added to other aircraft which used these historically, if possible.

* When you open the canopy at speed in the D.XXI the side window panel slides back, but when you're at taxiing speed the whole hatch opens.

I stumbled across another nice feature on the D.XX1 yesterday - there's an instrument which registers the maximum speed that the aircraft has reached during the mission. It's a round dial on the right-hand side of the cockpit. I managed to get up to 650km/h. It seems to be the only flyable I've experienced in-game where it's not possible to achieve an airframe failure in a dive (I did manage to over-speed the engine, though). Perhaps the fixed landing gear doubles as an effective speed brake?
