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?

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

Hi Poltava,
I don't know. I will try soon.

Thanks

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 Adger, thanks for checking in. I moved my IL-2 install to C:\Games\IL-2 and that seems to have solved the problems. Running smooth and without any weird glitches now. Thanks again guys! Looking forward to diving into all this mod has to offer this summer!

Hi Poltava,
Northern Africa map loads regularly in FMB...

Post a logfile with your error reports, otherwise I can't help.

Hi Poltava,
Northern Africa map loads regularly in FMB...

I have spotted the problem. It is quite simple. The campaign has been built in HSFX 7, and in that mod pack the notation in the all.ini for Redeye_Jir's North Africa maps reads "Northern_Africa_Jir_v3 Northern_Africa_Jir_v3/load.ini". In the VP modpack it reads "Northern_Africa_Jir Northern_Africa_Jir/load.ini".

For all practical purposes these maps are identical.

Quick fix: rename the line in the VP Modpack all.ini from "Northern_Africa_Jir Northern_Africa_Jir/load.ini" to "Northern_Africa_Jir Northern_Africa_Jir_v3/load.ini". Try that!

Hi Poltava,
thank you very much. I'll try to fix as you say.

p.s. 1: ehm... where do I find the "all.ini" file? 
p.s. 2: do you think your "Years of Triumph" campaign can work in VP Modpack?

About Update #2

It is nice with the new 4.13 items.  Although, I should have backed up my SAS MAPS folder because the new map files overwrote the All.ini file with my added Mod maps' names.  Not a big problem but I hope no other Mod-rookies experience the same problem...so be sure to back up Mod folder before adding new patches.

I also noticed that the Battle_of_Moscow summer map is still not listed in the All.ini file.  "LoadS" is for the Spring map.  "Load" file is for summer map.

============================================
edit:
Just noticed some other files necessary for the BoM Summer map are missing (smactors, FSR.tga, some 3do).
vpmedia, I guess you did not include the summer map because you did not have its new patches?

Anyhow, people can just install the BoM summer and other MOD maps on their own and add them to the VP MODPACK themselves.

Just curious if anyone can launch a torpedo at ships in a QMB strike with a Junkers 88.  I get a CTD when I try this.

nightace, Did you install like the way vpmedia described below?  If the files downloaded correctly and this is fresh install, then it should be done fairly easy with no problems.  Keep trying 

This is how to extract with 7z (http://www.7-zip.org/download.html):

Filesizes:
Make sure all the parts are 700Mb except the last part which is 2Mb. There should be 16 files and the patch.

I tested it and there is no problem with the Ju-88 and its torpedoes.
