The buttons are the latest
I think you can call it a simple modactivator installation, non of the large mod packs are used.
i have dl and copy the latest Modactivator Beta for 4.09 today, even myself wonder the game started, but the sound stays the same.
present and sample files in the "files" folder is the only option right ?
EDIT : I will now make a second clean 1946 4.09 installation, use the SAS Mod activator, copy the preset and samples folder from my old Il2 to the "Files" folder of the new one, and put only the SAS Weapon Modact in the new modfolder and will check how the weapons sounds there.
as you can see I´m really desperate, i trying to solve this problem for over a year now
