Another year, another Ultrapack
It's time for the next big step in Ultrapack Development.
Today we're proud to release
Ultrapack 3.2, incorporating our enhanced IL-2 1946 core engine version 4.50, the famous "Java Wall" fix and a couple of new planes and other improvements.
Starting with this version, we are going to develop Ultrapack further step by step to become the full-blown "online sister" pack to other great offline packs like BAT or VP.
Due to the integration of new mods, fully backward compatibility with Ultrapack 3 RC4 can't be maintained anymore.
Therefore, updating your Ultrapack to the most recent release from now on will become a mandatory task.
There is, however, a limited backward compatibility: You can connect to an Ultrapack 3.2 Server if you are running Ultrapack 3 RC4 yourself, but please be aware that there will be visual glitches, lack of content and possible lockups.
Long story short, here are the download links for the most recent release as of 2019-05-30, Ultrapack "Patch 5":

Installation:
Run Ultrapack 3.2.exe and let the installer do it's job.

(*) Me-262V3 flight model:
Like in real life, you have to tap the brakes in order to get the 262V3 off the ground.
Let the plane accelerate to 180km/h, tap the brakes until the tail comes up and you will soon get airborne automatically.
Remember to move the throttle gently below 6000rpm.
VERY GENTLY!
This plane is equipped with very early stages of the Jumo 004 jet engines which are still under development.
The specified spool up time from idle to full throttle is ==>> 40 Seconds <<==
This means that e.g. when using keyboard for throttle, you're allowed to increase throttle by one step (=5%) every 2 seconds only !!
You might be lucky and manage to spool up within half of that time (20 seconds) but we cannot guarantee that the engines will survive it.
If you spool up any faster, your engines will go up in flames, mark these words!
The same applies when you throttle back: GENTLY!
You can do it quicker than throttling up, actually about twice as fast, but you still have to do it GENTLY once you fall below 6000rpm.
That much for the bad news about the engines, the good news is that above 6000rpm you can move the throttle as quick as you like.
Watch your RPMs!
Note: * Trim setting for ground start is "full up".
It will be applied automatically on ground start, however if you have a joystick axis attached for elevator trim,
remember to trim up all the way when you start on ground, otherwise you risk to nose over when you tap the brakes.
* Don't let the plane accelerate beyond 200 km/h without lifting the tail.
Otherwise eventually the wings might lift the plane into the air (especially with low fuel load),
but you have no elevator authority yet since they're still wing alee: -> Crash.
* Don't tap the brakes too soon when you try to lift the tail.
If you do so below ~160km/h, the tail will come up, but since you don't have sufficient elevator authority yet, your plane will nose over.
ATTENTION: If you have installed PA_Jeronimo's Engine Cowling Mod, please deactivate the Me-262V-3 folder inside of that mod, otherwise
Your engine will get damage once started on ground, see deactivation details below.

inside that mod folder (e.g. the path in your game might be like "#UP#\Fixed cowling engine & props\3do\plane\Me-262V-3") to
3do/plane/-Me-262V-3
or simply remove the "Me-262V-3" of it.
If you don't do so, your engines will die on ground start.Cheers!
