Tks Eugene, I agree with what you said.

- I use UP2.01 from the beginning.
- I do not want to waste my time to reinstall everything. I know I would never equivalent. My version was so changed and yet it is very stable.
- Some older mods do not exist in the current versions.
- In first, the proposed new (jet, helico, radar, other operational theater WWII, ...) in versions 410/411 I'm not interested... not really!

It is a choice! Everyone does not run with the same model car ... It's the same with IL-2, everyone does not play with the same version.
The only point in common between us, the fun of playing IL-2!

I started with an IL2 Forgotten Battles that I got free with a new PC then I got the "Aces Expansion Pack" then "Pacific Fighters" then all the updates and Mods I needed - it's taken so many years to make it into the game I have now. I can't see any reason to change it all for the sake of a few planes I have no desire to fly...

Why 4.09 ?

I rediscovered how simplified and how well refined it is   ;) :)


It is like a very expensive bottle of wine which has been sitting on a wine rack for years on end   :D

When I say that the 409 (and especially UP201) is a gem!  :D
You can never destroy the myth of the 409!  ;)

 :P  :D :D

Precisely, simplified for an older system such as I have. Though it contains many peripherals that were the best in their day, they no longer stack up to the modern capabilities. So the fancy smancy isn't an option for me. My system is about as old as IL2 is come to think of it. And the older I get the less I feel like monkeying around with new technology.

Give me 4.09 or give me BSOD!

I know exactly what you are talking about bweiss. I'm still running on a 2208 MHZ Athlon XP, Asus A7N8x MB, and an AGP graphics card. The Smithsonian would gladly take the whole rig. We've been through a lot together. The thought of starting over with something new makes me want to barf, but if someone gave me a new Mac Pro...... I think I could learn a new trick or two.

The last time I posted about why I fly 4.09 ( before Rebel Base existed ) I was castigated by several members and the thread was locked by a mod. Simply because I stated I did not like several aspects of later patches and some mods installs of various types. I also stated I did not like the new DGEN that was done by a dedicated member ( a nice guy and he did work hard on it ) of the community that has a thread on the banana forum. I tried it but I did not really think it was what I wanted and still use the old DGEN. Well, those statements really ruffled the feathers of some. It was like, "how dare you not like something"!! Apparently some people feel you are obligated to like everything, especially if you got it for free. Well, somebody gave me a free piece of gum the other day and I did not like it. I had forgotten that I was supposed to like that piece of gum!! How dare I not like it?? Who do I think I am? One of the posts in response to my aforementioned locked thread someone actually did ask me who I thought I was for stating that I did not like free IL2 content!! It was a truly bizarre experience to say the least. It was kind of tantamount to someone being offended by someone else who stated they did not like asparagus, just because they happen to like asparagus.

In any case, I just posted the reasons I will not say why I fly 4.09 any more. And I decided that I better get back in line and start liking 4.11 and the rest of them. I guess I had better straighten out my attitude, huh? Must be something wrong with me for liking 4.09 and not the rest!!

flightorfight, we are all getting just a little tired of your continuing tirade.
as usual, you only present your side of the argument, and try to put a blanket statement over what you have been supposedly 'castigated' about.
you carry on about what you don't like, and in the process make the modders and admins alike, out to be at fault.
apparently, everyone is at fault except you.
you are welcome to use or not use 4.09, it makes no difference to anyone else.
i still use 4.09, even made a new section for 4.09, yet you continue with your little tirade.
any more comments from you in this vein, and i'll personally put you on observer status, so that we are all freed of your continued negative posts.
don't say you weren't warned - you have been previously warned, and we have been quite lenient with you up to this point.
if you don't like something personally, you are indeed well entitled to your opinion.
the difference is that you seem to think it necessary to keep posting about what you don't like, whereas most people keep such thoughts to themselves.
if i had to post about every little thing that i didn't like, i would never leave my keyboard.
i am going to rid these forums of people who think they need to post about every negative thing, yet remain strangely quiet about what they do like.
no more - one more of these crappy attitude posts from you, and that will be the end of it.

I may add:

flightorfight@ One thing is to not like something and prefer some other stuff. That is okey.

What is really really wrong is when *you* screw up your install and then blame on others making allegedly bad quality packs ("DBW1916 a waste of time", remember?) when you are the sole responsible of things not working properly.

As Malone said: you have the nasty little habit of blaming on others what you do wrong yourself. Once this stops, you will be most welcome, I think, with whatever well-founded opinions you have.

... most whiners don't have the slightest idea of the time and dedication it takes to mod and /or make a skin ....

As for me when I don't like a mod and/or skin I just shut my mouth, so many modders/skinners have already left the (free) "trade" that I don't want to deter anybody from modding/skinning ...

And of course whenever I take a mod/skin FOR FREE, I at leat say THX to the guy or team ...  ;)
