The "All In One" from AAA

[_AH_Duff4r]

~ _AH

We all knew this would get here.  It was like this in Falcon 4.0 when the code went public.  It took awhile and this is the first to come.  I am going to install this in a pristine copy of version 4.08m.  Assuming I get it going I will be on tonight to see how this goes.  It is supposed to allow the Bomber Mod and other mods to function on and off line without treachery....We'll see!

Here's the link: The ALL IN ONE

If you're not comfy with this stuff...pass on this.  No use breaking your install for naught.

CYA's UP!

Here's what's In there!

AAA Community Mod Installer Version 1.0 contents:

Game Versions and Switcher:

This installer will provide Direct-2-Drive customers to update their game to be compatible with the DVD version and allow the mods to run.

The installer also provides a handy switcher that will be located in the the 1946 game folder. The name of the switcher is 'Il2VersionSwitcher.exe' This small application will allow the user to switch to and from 4.08 and 4.09 as well as allowing for 6DOF is the user has a 6DOF capable trackIR version.

S~ Thanks for the list, Duff4r.. i've read over the unified thread at the aaa site.. got it Dl'ed and am hoping to get it installed to a test folder later today..

   

[ODB_Duck]

This was 1 of the first mods I installed. It worked fine for awhile the the game would load to 65% and shut down, I reinstalled the game and the mod and so far its still working fine and thats been a few weeks ago.

[_AH_Moby]

~S~!!   

Questions....  Does one have to uninstall any of the previous mods or can you simply install this all in one and does it overwrite any of the previous mods installed???   Does it conflict with any of the previous installed mods, like the smoke trails from gunfire mod of the engine flame at start up mod...?

Also, I am trying to find, with no luck, the mod or tweak or fix (if it's not a mod...) the ability to move the "in game" map that we use to view waypoints and current A/C position.  I don't know about everyone else, but my in game map is called up and appears in the upper right corner of the screen....with some games it appears a little too high on the screen and I can't view the grid lettering or numbering as it appears.   Can this map be moved, to say, the centre of the right side of the screen???  I can't seem to find anything in the AAA forums or elsewhere in other forums.... and have been looking for a few days.....  Anyone?

~S~!!!

[_AH_Duff4r]

LOL...


MOBY!!!  It's easy.  Put your mouse pointer on the map and hold both the left and right mouse buttons down and drag it where ya want it :}

S~

Duff

[_AH_BBQhead]

S~. Moby, to install the all in one, make a copy of your current game folder, remove the Files  folder and the Mods folder.. then run the install..  it includes the smoke trails and some other eye candy mods.. we're still testing this one. 

[_AH_Moby]

Roger dodger Boss!!!

Thanks BBQ!

~S~!

[_AH_taldrg]

~S~ ALL:  Here I am trying to get 2 new pilots into AH and these mod installs scare me to death so I know these 2 will NEVER get it.

[Homicide]

~S~  The new all in one is the way to go for mod install.
Taldrg to simplify the instruction I will elaborate.

1) Locate your working game IL2 1946 4.08 no mods and copy its entire contents to another location. ie c\  or anywhere you want.

2) Create a folder anywhere you want and download the unified installer and the other 3 parts into the folder.

3) Click part 1 (the installer and relax its doing everything for you)

(There is a switcher in the install to switch game versions however I just send the exe to the desktop and name it AA1 4.09B)

AH_JACKS IDEA! THANKS JACK!

I have 3 versions of the game installed when I enter HyperLobby I right clik connect and paste the proper path into the game path window)
I keep the paths in a text document for quick access!

Here are my paths from my document:

4.08 M       c:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\il2fb.exe

4.09 b       c:\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\il2fb.exe

4.09 AA1   c:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 AA1\il2fb.exe

* NOTE DON'T rename the il2fb.exe ...you CAN rename the shoertcut though

If the copy you made (4.08) has mods installed already just open the main folder and delete 2 files "before" clicking the installer - (part1)
(Delete MODS and Files)

Hope this helps someone....As far as any mandatory downloads & installs (Skins, whatever) I am more than happy to build them into an installer!  I can even do a 1 clik installer and download for this one (with AAA) permission of course. But someone has to host it and it would be 1 GB at least! Furthermore if you host it, I doubt it would be as fast as downloading it from the AAA 20 meg server.

[_AH_Duff4r]

TD,

There is always plenty of help available....including new guys!

:help2:

[_AH_Homicide]

~S~ All

My post may have been premature as there is some question as to the compatibility of the all in 1 with the standard install during co-ops...Again if AH decides to stay with the standard file install..I can build the whole thing into a unified installer or a 2-3 part self installer!
Same for any maps, skins, planes ect.

[_AH_BBQhead]

S~ The all in one installer that's available now is NOT to be installed to your working game folder.. we've just started testing it  a few days ago.    We really don't know if we're going to use it  or not ..and won't know for at least a couple weeks.
