Stupid question, im just got the game on Steam and installed it, my game version is now 4.12.2m. So do i need to download and install SAS IL-2 4.12.2m Mega Patch before install VP Modpack? Thank.

First install the game and patch it up to game version 4.12. (If possible, make a copy of it and store somewhere else for safety)
Go and test fly it. Look at some maps and stuff.

If its working OK, then begin installing the VP-Modpack into it.
Do it slowly. Read instructions.

After its done, restart your PC and
then start flying in the blue skies.
 You will notice many things will be changed and upgraded from the normal game version 4.12.     <-- You will need to wear sunglasses because
 it looks so COOL !

I have updated the DCG War Over Italy campaign so that it is now compatible with the VP Modpack.

Is anyone having problems with the DCG Compatibility Mod for VPModpack? When I install it in my #SAS folder in my modpack I find it is empty. When I try to copy it manually, I get 'An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file'. It is error '0x80004005'

I uploaded it to a different host:

I had issues with 4B598398AD1D180C and 08447B2E29097EB0 which are in the !!00_0_FXEvolution_v4.12 that comes with VP modpack as described here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,40022.0.html

Removing these files fixes some duplicate loadout problems. Does anyone know what they do or if removing them will cause unintended problems elsewhere?

As the posts on that thread describe, some aircraft may loose their sounds.
These 2 files must be looked into by a Java-master to see what may be the problem, and hopefully fixed.

Personally, I will leave them in my game. If the drop down menu starts showing me "duplicate weapons" on its list,
it is not much of a problem for me. - As long as I don´t start having problems with other airplane-mods if I remove
these 2 files.
Imagine if in a few months from now I pick out a certain airplane to fly and all of a sudden it does not work properly
in its sounds.
My log file will not show what may be the problem and I don´t know where its coming from, and it may be because
I had forgotten all about these 2 files which I have deleted them from my game. 
So I will leave them until in a future time, someone can fix them.

Really enjoying the mod, but noticed a couple of small graphics glitches. The artificial horizon "line" is missing for me in both the P-40E, and P-47D-10. I'm talking about the solid white line which shows the AC attitude in relation to the horizon. Not a show stopper, but if it's a missing file or something easy, maybe they could be uploaded somewhere for a quick D/L. Thanks

Try deactivating #SAS\COCKPIT_DBW\3do\Cockpit\P-47D-10, you'll loose the improved textures but the artificial horizon will work again. Those cockpits were extracted from 4.10 DBW, many had problems, I managed to fix some of it but unfortunately you can still run into small issues.
