Sorry OberstDanjeje,
But you sounded so positive that I hated to burst your bubble. But, no installing DiffFm doesn't work, and believe me when I say that I've tried every thing that I know to fix this problem. I was wrong about the dates involved, I d/l the P47n around 10/10/2011, so my Il2 1946 has been off line for just about 3 weeks! I already had the Diff Fm mod installed in the mod folder. I also put the P47n in the mod folder.
Still I kept (keep) getting the 60% crash? WTH? I did correct the problem by editing out the p47 entry in the .air config file by adding 2 // in front of the P47n entry, and the game works with out the P47n. As soon as I remove the // from in front of the p47n entry in the .air file, boom!, the game crashes! I did manage after about 2 hours of dinking around to "get up" to a 70% crash, so I'm making progress? I (in desperation) moved ALL of my mods out of the mods folder, and only had the p47n and the diff-fm mods there, and STILL it crashes?!
Just to make sure that I have done this correctly, here are the mods as I see them in the mods folder...
E:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\MODS\Final P-47N-15 by 101tfs V2.1\_air_P-47N-15 101tfs V2.1

Do these installations look ok to you guys?
I prefer to use the "E:" drive because my son has a number of programs on the "C:" drive, and yes Il2 runs (well it did!) just fine.
So now it would appear that I have a faulty mod some where in the mods folder, or a mod "some-where" that clashes with the P47n! Sigh! Before I d/l this P47 my il2 was running fairly well.
So I have a choice of slowly and painfully going through each mod, and TRY and figure out what mod is causing the problem, OR, rein-stalling il2 from scratch again!
Either choice involves a lot of drudge work, with the hope of flying the P47n, I hope its worth it! Thanks for your advice and your qwik response!
Horrido!
