Hmmm. Strange. I seem to be hitting a CTD at 70% loading. I have a clean IL-2 1946 install patched to 4.12 through the megapatch. Unzipped the vpmodpack, then copied all of the files over to IL-2. Applied both patches. Altered the config.ini as instructed.

Wondering if this is a Windows 10 issue? Neither Il-2 or the selector exe files are running with any privileges, could this be an issue? When I run them as an administrator (my default account has admin privileges), IL-2 does load fully, but I start seeing splash screens for Ultrapack... not sure where I went wrong?

I've clearly done something to botch my install badly...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this right? A full uninstall and reinstall of 1946 and 4.12 is in order. Not sure how to proceed from there thought. Any help is appreciated... 

Edit: As a follow up, once I tried running the sim straight from the IL-2.exe in the game folder without admin privileges, the sim started fine and seems to be working - although yet again, my old HSFX pilots and control settings seem to have reappeared despite my uninstalling IL-2 and removing my HSFX install entirely before adding the vpmodpack.

My apologies for causing so much confusion. If anyone has any advice on how to perform a truly clean IL-2 install perhaps I can try this again to make sure everything is where it should be.

Cheers

Two quick things.

If you installed your new IL2 to the same folder name as the HSFX install then it could explain the old pilot showing up. The uninstallation probably left behind the pilot profile and controls.

Also make sure you install IL2 somewhere other than Program Files. IL2 is from long before UAC and needs to write files to its folder while it is running.

Thanks Moezilla! That's very helpful. IL-2 defaults to Program Files x86 on my system - is there a better place to install it so that the sim will run properly? Many thanks in advance! Cheers!

[Moezilla]

Most people would tend to use a scheme like D:\Games\IL2_VPMOD or C:\IL2_CUP

[Adger]

Hi Captain..yep like Moezilla says try to use a non program files dir/

I use D:\games\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 for example,let us know how you get on pal .

Hi all ive already thanked VP for this great hassle free installation of his modpack. But thanks again VP

just a quick question (really to Poltava) and Hamm...love yours and others campaigns from DBW,can any of your fantastic campaigns work here with VP,s pack?
or will we have to wait for a compatible version (if indeed your doing any)? Thank you for all your hard work in this pack..cheers

All my campaigns that are 4.12 compatible should work with the VP Modpack. See here:

https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,14298.msg554706.html#msg554706

There are some campaigns that require aircraft not present in the VP Modpack (like the MB.152 and the Dewoitine D.520), but that can be easily added using the Blitzkrieg Add-On for the VP Mod Pack. See here:

Right now I'm updating my "Storm over England" BoB 1940 Luftwaffe campaign using the VP Modpack, and hope to release it in a couple of weeks. And there will be more to follow.

Hi Poltava,
I installed your "Desert War" campaign in the VP Modpack, I removed all the "_ru" suffixes from the files, but still I don't see any map in the briefing screen (I attach a screenshot).
Any suggestion?

Is it just me?  or does anyone else have this problem with A/I taking off on aircraft carriers?
SOLVED:  I was using the Stationary Ship!  Using moving Ships works!  Excuse me for cluttering the discussion.

Hmm, that was a new error to me  What happens when you load the Northern Africa map in FMB?
