I am also at the age of the Beatles track.

I doubt the BAT install proceedure could be made any simpler.

Particularly for the base install, just right click BAT_v1.0_Setup.exe and run as administrator.

Even the expansion packs are straight forward to install, as long as any requirements between updates are adhered to.

The instructions are all posted on the relevant sections of the forum, with the update links.

You say you installed from a disc.  So I'm assuming that you patched up to version 4.12.2m FIRST before doing anything with BAT?
SAS IL-2 4.12.2m Mega Patch https://www.mediafire.com/?Kp8n59eobi0an

I'm sure most started with steam version that is already at that level, but you should make sure your version is updated and running before proceeding to install BAT.

If you did, don't know what is up.  I have installed BAT to three different PCs, AMD and NVidia cards, and no issues.

PS:  AND STABLE, not one hang or crash not caused by campaign error, yet.  That is after 400+ BAT missions in DOF era so far...

Just like to add my two cents.  I to had problems with BAT.  Not an exaggeration, I think I installed/reinstalled, completely, something like five times.  Continued to have small, nagging problems, e.g. missing aircraft, etc.  But my hard headedness prevailed, thus the reinstalls.  As a last resort, I downloaded "everything" again.    Including the Mega Patch (did not need a new 4.07m).  After running the mega patch and then running the BAT installer, I started the game to make sure it would run.  It did.  Then, each of the expansion packs, up thru 12.  After each pack I started the game to see if all was well.  It was, after each.  The game is running well now, all seems there (what I had been missing), and the effort, although fairly time consuming, was worth it.  I am convinced that I had a bad download somewhere along in my initial effort, and since I kept using those same files for each subsequent attempt, I kept getting the same results.  Maybe this will help, or at least let you know you are not alone.

I used the  a.exe from within my CD il2 Sturmovik 1946 to install a clean il2 copy.
It flew fine QMB and Single missions.

I installed the SAS Mega Patch and flew within the Single and QMB with no problems

I theninstalled the BAT Startup Pack & started running into problems in the Dawn of fliight and in the WAW Single missions & also in the QMBPro.

On the Crete QMB with just two aircraft it froze with a horrible vibrating sound...If you want more log file let me know which part you want.

Maybe my computer has something going bad...

SAS has 15.000 members

...and that would matter only if membership was a prerequisite for downloading BAT.

its a bit hard to believe

When I want to believe I go to the church.
When I want to know how much data has been transferred on the torrent, I check our trackers.
The tracker URLs are no secret, they're part of the torrent properties, if you want you can check yourself.
We have three trackers up and they automatically count each byte that is being transferred (either of them, whatever tracker a client is picking from the list).
If at all, you could add some "unknown" transfers from DHT which would work besides the trackers.

when I checked only 10 people (0,04%) were seeding it back

No surprise.
The biggest chunk comes from two seeding systems alone, hosted by myself, running 24/7 since the beginning, one on a 1GBit/s line, the other on 100MBit/s.
We've usually had 30-50 seeders when the torrent was about a month old, but meanwhile it became a tad more quiet.

That much about statistics.
What did we just talk about? Ah... installation issues

At the risk of being a smart ass...

I did do everything mentioned above and it still doesn't work right...

That's the common paradoxon of "I did everything right but it doesn't work".
No.
See: We have an idea about the number of installations, we can see and estimate it from the number of Torrent downloads.
On our BAT torrent, all participants in the swarm have transferred 2.7 Petabytes of BAT installation files so far.
Half is upload, half is download, and the installation size is 50GB, this makes up for an incredible amount of more than 25.000 BAT downloads so far.
That much by the way about "IL-2 1946 is dead" - it's all but dead, it's just that many users simply enjoy it and don't need to make it a religion or talk about it on the internet.
Nevertheless, within these 25.000+ BAT users we have a handful (not even that many) who can't get it to work.

This is like Indy 500: You have 33 cars doing 200 laps (6600 car-laps in total), yet one or two make it into the wall.

You say: "Blame it on the wall".
I say: "Better think twice".

it is very difficult to get working right

Absolutely not.
The initial installation process is "double-click an executable file".
If that's too much...

Best regards - Mike

THIS MONDAY MAN, WOOHOO!

*************************

Comparisons with VP Modpack really are silly.  They are totally different things.  It has already been explained that the #SAS mod folder can be used to accommodate VPMP alongside B.A.T. anyway. 

I really don't know how B.A.T. could be made any simpler though.  Clicking on an exe and knowing where your Il2 is shouldn't be too difficult for anyone...

We had a member of our team that could not get 10 in . A months worth of trying. We could not figure it out.  But , one problem that crops up is a glitch that some of us found in downloading from the "downloaded" ep to the game. Occasionally, pieces would not go into the game.  We outsmarted that by unpacking each piece individually.
Our team member, our best fighter pilot, still could not make it work. Several of us got on line and talked him thru 9 and 10 several times, no luck.

Finally, one of us with a working copy, downloaded it to a 128gb stick and sent it to him.  We successfully played 10 last night and are proceeding with 11 and 12 once we have done another test.

If you are in a squad, this might be an answer.

It CAN be frustrating. The guys that build it and players that are very familiar with it sometimes know it so well that they have never experienced such a problem , unlike us "week end warriors" that are barely computer literate! Heck, at 71 years old, I am lucky to figure out how to turn the computer on!

I built BAT on top of both CUP and a clean game. Both finally worked , but I needed my squad members to assist me when I got wrapped around the axle. We tend to only ask ourselves the questions we know the answer to, and don't know what we don't know.

Before you give up, see if you have a group that might TALK to you on Ventrillo or Team Speak. good luck and good hunting.

Essentially the fact that sending a stick with a working installation solved just means that prior to installing EP 10 there must have been some mistake in the installation process on your team mate's PC already.
We're just about to get the installation of future EPs as simple as the initial BAT installation was (read: Click an exe and let the installer do it's magic) but this won't cover installation error happening before, e.g. like someone installing EP 1, 2, 3 ... then nothing ... , 10, 11, 12 or someone trying to install BAT on IL-2 4.13.4 or 4.12.1.

Don't get me wrong, but between wakeup and entering the office, the process isn't "turn the keys, drink a coffee, take a shit, get up, sit down, open the door" either, isn't it?
Sometimes I wonder how certain users manage to stay alive...

  "Sometimes I wonder how certain users manage to stay alive..."         
Good one SAS~Storebror, I find eating really helps.

A bit off topic but does your 25,000 downloads figure only include torrent downloads?
Is there a way to count non torrent downloads?
I have never used one and there must be many more who do not.

As for installation, any problems I have ever had have been my mistake and given the detail of the included readme files, it's a testament to my carelessness or inattention.

And, all you old guys, quit blaming it on age, I am sure some of the kids around here in  their 40s and 50s have issues too. 
(I am, fortunately, only 72 and it's fun to pick on the older guys.)

[SAS~Storebror]

Our trackers only count torrent traffic.
Mediafire keeps track of their download links basically, but unfortunately it's not reliable at all.
Turns out that with the weak internet connections to be found in many parts of the world where IL-2 1946 still seems popular, many people still rely on torrents to grab such big packs somehow.
I agree that the numbers are surprisingly high, it's been a surprise for myself too, but it's a nice surprise
We do use the same trackers for other torrents (like UP3 RC4, SAS Modact etc.) and the numbers shown there are well within what we've expected, but BAT is really going through the roof.
Cheers to the Hangar 19 Team!

I have been using just the Mediafire downloads. 
I have never used Torrents.  Are the torrents better for quality?

Perhaps I should start over again and try them...

[PapaG39]

Thanks VP...
I have been using every search function that I can find in il2, but that number won't show up.
I really don't even know where to start looking..
If I do accidentally come across that number, what would I do with it?
