I just got my IL 2 working again (due to a Motherboard failure) patched up to 4.11.1 Ive read that may be bad with Ultra pack 3. Any way I have lot of Zero skins that are not matching the plane 3d model due to the new Zero model in the Ultra Pack 3 I assume. Can I get these old skins to work? I have read and did  search. Will part 6 of SAS F#cking Big Default Skinmod (SAS FBDSM) PART 6 (Zeros) fix this. I also have added the hot-fix UP3.04 zip to the game folder. I just want to get the old skins back in the game

Have a look here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,20117.msg217017.html#msg217017, maybe it will solve your problem (not sure, I have to honestly admit I didn't test it ).

Thank you for the reply, looks like it has been a issue. There looks to be a patch for DBW that might allow the old Skins,If not I will just have to give up all my old ones some that I modded a little but I will do more reading.
Thanks

Here ya go just down load these   https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,23850.msg244955.html#msg244955 Other than that, if you have the new 3d 0's old skins will not work, you have to update ALL your skins.

I still got the patch but it seems to me that it was removed from official DBW download section.

Installing UP3 over 4.11 is a bad idea. Only patch up to 4.101.

If you want to use DBW / UP3, you need these skins :

It looks like I am at a "fork in the road" I can either go with the
Japancat Zero model and skins and say goodby the the old , yet fine collection of Zero skins , or try part six or the file Bravo posted a link too. Use my old ones, however when it was mentioned that the  "3d 0's old skins" cannot be used, is this referring to the new Japancat 3d model and skins? Also, I am currently patched up to 4.11.1. It was mentioned that to use DBW it is not good to have this update. Only to 4.10. Most of my play is offline. I read that DBW is targeted to this group of players. The only online play to date is LAN at home between my sons and I. I do intend to try and later go online to servers etc. and try our luck in the "Real world" As far as the file "part 6 SAS FBDSM, do I only extract this in the main IL2 1946 folder?
Currently I am patched up to 4.11.1 DBW not installed and UP3.0 installed and the UP 3.04 hot fix installed.
Thanks to all that have responded and posted.

Do NOT install "SAS FBDSM part 6" if you have UP3 since it will corrupt your default skins. "SAS FBDSM part 6" is only intended for the stock game.

Since you installed UP3 on top of 4.11.1, I'd suggest starting over with a fresh install by only patching up to 4.101...
Then install UP3 and download the new skins intended for the improved 3d models in UP3 & DBW (and be glad you're rid of the horrid old 3d of the stock game).

Also, if you install DBW you can use the "IL-2 Selector" to switch between UP3 and DBW for online or offline play.

[Ace of Spades]

Thanks for the sound advice. It sounds like there is no way to just uninstall the 4.11.1  so just uninstall everything,(BACK UP SOME MISSIONS SKINS ETC) start from scratch then patch only to 4.10.1 then instal DBW.

[Ace of Spades]

Another quick question, from what I have read and understand DBW is not for online players. The majority of our use here is offline but my sons and I enjoy "coop" type missions in LAN or internet in the same house. Is DBW not advisable or suitable?

[Dark Apostle]

As long as you both have the same setup all should be fine Ace. It's when users have different builds/mods that you'll get problems hence why DBW went for the offline feel.

[Ace of Spades]

Ok that should be cool. I'm sure my sons will like the look of DBW, before I built the 2nd PC I couldn't keep them off mine. Thanks for the reply
