Simplify this please--- help a newbie
« on: June 15, 2012, 04:09:34 PM »
Ok first this looks great and looking forward to flying. BUT what is the proper way to load these? I have reviewed the boards and am confused... is it install IL2 fly once, upgrade patches to game to 4.10.1m. Now do I load the Jones Soft Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME) after that or after I have installed UP 3.0 and all fixes, or after UP 3.0 then load DBW and then load JSGME? 

Or does both UP 3.0 and DBW go into JSGME? Then activate mods?  I use JSGME on Silent Hunter and everything mostly goes into JSGME and then enabled.

Thanks for the assist!

DBW and UP3 go straight into main game folder. The readme (or install instructions that are in the original post) tells you everything.
All extra mods that you download will go into #DBW or #UP#, not JSGME.
The mods that you need to enable in JSGME are already included. Just start it and see what you want to activate.
To start the game click on IL-2 selector, not il2fb.exe. Then you have to select your game type (DBW, UP, stock) in the settings.
Have fun ;)

Many many thanks...  deleted all previous IL2 1946, reload up to 4.101m, then did as your suggested just load up etc into that, works like a champ! And now I see JSGME is already built in the program oh so thats the ticket.... Looking forward to many missions...

Appreciate it!

Just to add my bit as a confused starter. If I want to use DBW, do I have to install UP3 even though I don't want to go online?

I'm sure this is basic stuff but my knowledge of modding and all this other jiggery pockery magicery is well below basic.

Yes, unless you are using the DBW megapack, then it includes UP3.
