COMMUNITY UNIVERSAL PATCH - C.U.P.EASY ALL IN ONE INSTALL GUIDE
Over a couple of years CUP has grown into the gargantuan behometh of all supermods.
Those who went from the start have built gradually and know that it all works fine.
Those who are just starting out feel as if they are looking at Mount Everest!
There will be a slimline version - with everything in one place - and on one single torrent.
That will take a little time to assemble. Meanwhile, all the material is here and it can be installed very easily by decompressing these files in sequence.
The goal is to build your SFS-Folders, and their content, and then add the latest Mod folders #DOF, #TGA, #WAW and #JTW, right at the end.
As you add the material nothing inside your basic Il2 game is effected. You simply accumulate files inside your SFS-folders: SFS_DOF, SFS_TGA, SFS_WAW, SFS_JTW and SFS_MAPS. That's it, really simple,
Here we go...
You will need:
- Working install of Il2-1946
- SAS Superpatch to 4:12:2m
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,38443.0.html - SAS Modact 5.3 for IL-2 4.12.2m
Its not necessary to install the AI Flyables, they are part of the CUP install.
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,37662.0.html - 61.70GB of free space for the downloads
- 45.20GB of free space for the mods
(The final modded install - Il2-1946+CUP is actually smaller than the total downloads!)
