B.A.T. v4.0 "RED CORE" - The World At War pack
Introduction - What is BAT?See existing post!About BAT Version 4BAT v4 is the new one-stop-shop to get the latest and biggest modpack for Il-2.
It also works as a your backup in case you want to reinstall at some point.
BAT v4 replaces all previous packages, expansions and patches!So get it and save it for backup. BAT 4.0 + 4.1 also saves you 20 Gig of hard-drive space in comparison to a collection of all the old BAT 1.0 - BAT 3.8.5 packages because surplus material has been eliminated from the download.
But there's something new:Up until now, BAT was always a big one-in-all install from the outset: DOF, TGA, WAW and JTW era modules in one download and installer package.
BAT 4.0 contains all the common data and the
WAW module only.
- WAW - World At War contains all the planes, ships and vehicles for the WW2 era. More than 1250 planes and countless objects, vehicles, ships...
If you want to have the other eras (DOF, TGA & JTW), and therefore have the full BAT, you must download and install BAT 4.1 after 4.0.
**************************************************************
RequirementsYou must have a valid, purchased copy of IL-2 1946!
BAT has been developed to work on IL-2 1946 v4.12.2 (International version)
This version is recommended as base.
1) Get itIf you have IL-2 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 (
GOG) or 4.11, install the
SAS Mega Patch first.
Steam users can get the vanilla 4.12.2 from the "Beta" section in Steam. Alternatively, you can downgrade your IL-2 with the
Unpatcher.
2) Move itIL-2 1946 is standalone and can be installed anywhere and be moved or copied to any location, including external drives, but you should avoid Windows-protected folders: Move or copy your IL-2 folder outside of the Windows "Program Files" path, in example to C:\Games\IL-2 BAT
3) Configure itThe file conf.ini is located in the IL-2 folder. Copying over your old one should do the trick. Likewise your User folder for your previous keymapping. CONF.ini needs to be right with B.A.T. Here is an example with Sound setup properly and Graphics maxxed out. If need be you can de-tune the graphics a bit, add texcompress etc, to speed it up.
Here is a good thread explaining those settings:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=9756.0Here's a relevant post for AMD users:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,9756.msg185327.html#msg1853272022 November AMD driver WARNING:
AMD drivers above 22.5.xxx version may cause problems and graphic glitches since AMD managed to screw OpenGL completely.
Check and downgrade your driver version if you have a newer driver.This part requires your own personal screen settings:[window]

Here is another CONF.ini, slightly de-tuned to be easier on performance, but still looking very good. Some particularly like 'Forest=2', because on some maps Forest=3 will cause trees to spawn on the runway!

Setting up your NVIDIA graphics card (or other, it's an example) for best display, like anti-aliasing and such, which you can't directly set in the game's conf.ini - IL-2 engine is
quite old, remember?
These would be valid Nvidia Control Panel settings to start with:
DSR Factors = Off
Anisotropic filtering = 16x
Antialiasing - FXAA = Off
Antialiasing - Setting = 8x
Antialiasing - Gamma correction = On
Antialiasing - Mode = Override any Application Setting
Antialiasing - Transparency = Multisample
Preferred Refresh rate = Highest Available
CUDA - GPUs = All
Triple buffering = Off (This depends, you might want to set it to "on" if you experience tearing or micro-stutters if using a monitor without G-Sync)
Power management mode = Prefer Maximum Performance
Optimize for compute performance = Off
Maximum pre-rendered frames = 3
Monitor-technology = G-SYNC (only if available)

BAT 4.0 Torrent:
BAT-v4.0.torrentInstall BAT 4.0Place the zips and the installer in the same location and run the installer. Point it to your IL-2 folder.
Warning! The installer will delete the folders below and replace them with new content:
#DOF3, #TGA3, #WAW3, #JTW3, #DOF2, #TGA2, #WAW2, #JTW2,
BAT00, BAT01, BAT01B, BAT02, BAT02B, BAT03, BAT03B, BAT04, BAT04B
If the installation is successful you can launch BAT from the IL-2 Selector.
One last step: HD DYNAMIC LINK LIBRARIES - BATDLLS-01 OR BATDLLS-02?Make sure you have the right HD DLLs for the HD True Colour Mod used in some areas. The HD True Colour Mod is used throughout the modern Il-2 simulator and has an immediate effect on many items if you do not have the correct DLLs for your setup.
There is no 'right' answer, it's BATDLLS-01 for some people and BATDLLS-02 for others.
The easiest way to check which you need: Launch World At War and go look at the Avro Lancaster in the QMB Preview Window. If it looks normal you are good to go. If you cannot see it, or if its a hideous naked mole rat pink you need the other DLLs, go install BATDLLS-02. If that does not help, try BATDLLS-01.
You will find the BATDLLS in the BATDOCS/BATDLLS folder. Alternatively you can download them from here:
