Dear all
very impressed by all of this stuff. 
Anyway, (maybe stupid question) : I cannot use bombs on some planes , by instance A20C . Everything runs well but that . Can someone help ? 
Many thanks again.

For some planes, you must assign a key to toggle bomb bay doors to drop bombs.

thanks again

So how do i use this if i have older bat packs installed. is there a way to uninstall the old bat versions ? i have the dvd version of Il 1946 and problems with my dvd drive so i try to to avoid a complete new installation

You can install v4.0 (and then 4.1 and then 4.1.1) on top of any previous version (of BAT).

Some BATMODS (JSGME add-ons) are now obsolete therefore post a list of your BATMODS folder once you are at v4.0 level and we will tell you which ones are to be manually deleted.

Hi Vampire Pilot

As you can tell, I just registered and this is my first post.  Hope I didn't breach any forum protocols.

Firstly, many thanks for the tremendous job in extending the life of IL-2.  I first played IL-2 decades ago, just a amateur really, but I was and still am fascinated by planes from the WW2 era.  Now, I'm near 50 and just bought my first gaming laptop and discovered BAT while watching youtube videos of IL-2 1946.

I have just bought a steam version of IL-2 and am planning to install the BAT mods.

I have a specific question on one of the steps, which is moving out the IL-2 folder from within Windows to the root directory.  My IL-2 folder is currently in C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/Common and is about 7GB in size.  Do you mean to cut and paste this entire folder in the root C directory?  My instinct tells me that this may not be it. 

Sorry for such a noob question but I just want to avoid any major issue later on.

Thanks for your  help!

Hi, and welcome (back).

Why would you question this?  Yes indeed, that is right, copy/paste that whole game folder (the one that contains the il2fb.exe)

It can hardly be described more clearly here:

2) Move it

IL-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

The reason is clear: So steam or windows can't "protect", "manage", "repair" (or whatever) your new modded install, where only you and the mod routines say what goes and what doesn't.

Before you move, make sure your steam IL-2 is set to be 4.12.2 and not any higher version. How to do that is also explained in the install instructions.

Ok, which ones do i need ?

[whistler]

Anyone installing v4.0 on a clean 4.12.2 would have:

#BAT_old_style_backdrops
#WAW_Hakencross_Disabler
#WAW_SCREEN-BAT
#WAW_SCREEN-SWOTL
DEF-SKIES_#WAW3

[KG3_V]

So i should use only these ?
