Hi OrangeFr3ak,
Here’s a link that will be helpful if you’re up for a little reading.
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,1353.0.htmlThis is an old post, but is the starting point.
Pay attention to the Note in RED.
The folders of interest for BAT are:
#DOF2- WWI Aircraft
#JTW2- Jet Era
#TGA2- Between the Wars
#WAW2- WWII Aircraft
Ignore Step 5, Don’t mess with the Buttons file(EVER)!
Do read the Troubleshooter link.
Read the AIR.ini link
Download 7zip, if you don’t have it.
Don’t read any of the reply’s in the Topic, they’re OLD and
no longer apply.
If you want to mod anything in IL2, remember one very
important thing: Back up, Make a copy, Back it up!
For instance, if you want to add a plane to #WAW2,
simply copy the folder and add a dash in front of the pound sign,
like this -#WAW2 copy. This copy will be ignored by IL2.
This way if you totally screw things up in #WAW2, you can
always fall back to the copy.
Here’s the path to Air.ini in WAW2: Back it up.
IL2 Sturmovik 1946\#WAW2\STD\com\maddox\il2\objects\air.ini
You’ll be required to add your new plane to this file.
Here’s the path to the plane and weapons files in WAW2: Back them up.
IL2 Sturmovik 1946\#WAW2\STD\i18n\plane or weapons properties file
These may require changes.
Now here’s the most important advice I can give to any would be modder:
Read the Forum, Search the Forum, then read more.
99% of everything I know about modding was learned from reading this Forum.
It sometimes will take some digging, but it’s all in the Forum.
People are happy to help, but informed questions are preferred.
I’m not much for posting, but I’ve been modding a long time and it can be
challenging at times, but also quite rewarding and a lot of fun.
I hope this is of some help to you, Have FUN and don’t forget to fly!
