MOD: How To: Install UltraPack and adding new aircraft - 09/07/10 06:45 PM
First you need a completely clean new install of 4.09m per this forum post here
Then you want to read and keep handy Pappy's UltraPack installation guide
You will have to copy and paste these links into your browser:
The main UltraPack download page:
Code:
http://ultrapack.il2war.com/index.php/topic,1536.0.html?PHPSESSID=bgav4bv0engspnpv0kg593mau1
Once you get UltraPack installed and running right, you may need additional downloadable aircraft for certain campaigns. To add new aircraft:
SAS MODS Folder for UP 2.01
Code:
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,7949.0.html
Download it to your desktop.
Latest SAS Buttons file
Code:
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,97.0.html
Download it to your desktop.
Unpack the SAS MODS folder and place the MODS folder in your main IL 2 1946 Directory. Mine is at C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946
Unpack the SAS Buttons file and place the buttons file in your MODS folder at Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\MODS\STD\gui\game
Now download the new Aircraft Mod you want, unpack it and READ the readme file. Normally all you have to do is place the named aircraft folder into your MODS directory, mine's C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\MODS
THEN, according to the readme, you will to add a line/lines to you air.ini file. Mine is in my MODS folder at C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\MODS\STD\com\maddox\il2\objects
I have like 6 or 7 modded a/c working great, no issues using this method.
