So today I bought IL-2 1946 from the steam summer sale and the game automatically installed in 13.4 so now im wondering can the AI Flyables work in 13.4 or is there someway to revert back to 12.2? Sorry if that question is dumb but I'm new

If you prefer the older version 4.12.2 for some reason, you can revert to it (go to the Betas tab in the Steam properties of the game and select version 4_12_2 in the drop-down list). That how you do it.

Wait is the AI flyables for 4.13 out cause I can't find it. I can only find the modact for 4.13.

Also looking for this...  I'd like to stay with 4.13.4m and corresponding Modact, but can't find a corresponding AI flyables mod - is it available or can you use a previous version of the AI Flyables mod and it will be compatible with 4.13.4m?

*UPDATE*
Sorry, having read further I see this is not available yet.  Is there any ETA on when an AI flyables pack might be available for 4.13.4m?

Hi guys. Unfortunately, as you've been told, there is officially no AI-flyables mod for 4.13.4

BUT I tested a few for you and I found that the AI flyables version linked below works in my lightly modded 4.13.4 game.

Best of luck. I do not know if there are any side effects, and i only tested on one or two aircraft to ensure a mission will load.

Thanks Fresco - I will test this out over the next couple of days.  Fingers crossed.   

[Fresco23]

Keep us informed!

Check out PA Yren's Y-Pack for 4.13.4
You will find a lot of the AI flyables in the pack.
Also consider having more than one install of IL2 so you get the best of both worlds

Unfortunately Fresco's suggestion hasn't worked for my install.  I installed the files, but it doesn't appear to have made any difference to the game - it still boots up as normal.

I'll take a look at Squashman's suggestion and see if that gives me what I want, and failing that I'll just live with multiple installs as I've got my previous install backed up.

It was mainly the B-17 I was after, and that's available as a separate mod anyway.

Pressing on with the Y-Pack...

[Squashman]

You will find B17 B, E, F and G

[Fresco23]

Sorry for your difficulties labyrinth, B-17 was the first one I tested in my 4.13.4 game and it ran well. You activated the pack through JSGME as usually?

[Labyrinth]

I did seem to have a lot of trouble with most add-on aircraft simply not functioning in 4.13.4m.  BUT....   Progress update:

I have now installed the Y-pack for 4.13.4m.  It works, and the list of playable aircraft is quite incredible, with a lot of new models. 

One thing however is that since installing, no other 3rd party aircraft (e.g. the Westland Whirlwind, Lancaster, and SU-26 stunt plane) seem to work - I've installed them exactly as per the readme, but they simply don't show up in game.  I wonder if this is fixable, or whether I need to consult PA Yren?

(I do have multiple installs on my PC now (4.08m, 4.13.4m and the Y-pack version), but it would be nice to have them "all under one roof" if possible.)
