*&^$^$ 4.10

[Space]

ok so I spent all day yesterday downloading and installing that (&(%ing 4.10 thingy. Now the game wont run at all when I hit the il2fb.exe file.

Any ideas before I nuke this shit and go back to tic-tac-toe?

[Boompy]

Did you install 4.10 over a clean copy of 4.09? i had the same problem until i used my original folder with il2 in it and no UP installed.

[Trouble4u]

Yeah, you either need to patch a clean 4.09 to 4.10 or you can run the update/restore in your 2.01 and it will add 4.10 to the jsgme.

[ScrewBall]

I used the restore/update function to add 4.10 to JGSME; I applied it and ran a session to see if there were any obvious differences between it and 4.09; I must be a bit on the blind side, on account of that I saw no appreciable differences. What have I overlooked?

[Trouble4u]

This is what you get with 4.10

Holy crap; seems I overlooked a great deal. Next time, I think I'll spend a bit more than a few minutes looking things over....

[Trouble4u]

LOL, Its really not all that much to see. a few new planes but those changes to exisiting planes we'd probably never notice and the rest is stuff you don't see but it will make some differance in the play.

[Razgriz_37]

Nothing the UP guys hadn't already done. and with the MDS feature it's poor piss because it takes away the Rearm, Repair and Refuel feature that |ZUTI| created.

Btw space do you need a clean copy? I just reinstalled My Test Bed installation of IL2 to see how 4.10 was.

The confusion is that the setup file is identical to the setup file that UP has. So if you install the wrong one you won't know it. It doesn't even have anything saying it's the official patch or the UP JSGME addon copy.

[YOKE]

damn it jim, spock or bones ( insert your favorite name there ) ... ! ! ! read the read me ! ! !


no no no I'm just kidding with you all ....

ya know I had my share of glueing hair back in I tore out !

we'll get ya right Space... I sent you a PM as well sir

I redid it fresh up to 4.09m, then did 2.01 to get the update button and went from there. Is it trashed? That would really over-torque my bolts.
