Ok, I need to know especially after last night, where does the group stand with the 1.2 update? Are we using it in place of 1.1 now?? The reason I asked is because from what I am tracking FS is using 1.2 w/FS mods, Wings of War is still using 1.1?? Ground Zero is using HFX orSHFX or whatever that one is...... Is there a way to put em all together in one file and use some sort of switcher like with the AAA mods?? I am truly now lost in the sauce, please someone explain to me how I can get this out of the SNAFU range. So far I have one foleder for 1.1 that connects to my hyperlobby, a 1.2 folder, a HFX folder, and a 4.09m folder, is there a switcher for hyperlobby/xfire that I can use to redirect my game? That would be the God send for me. HELP!!!!! SOS ...---... Help, Hilfe, aiuto, ayuda, aide, 幫助, hulp, 助け, помощь, βοήθεια,... I think I got all the major languages covered

What's gonna happen George, is there is going to be AAA 1.3 and HSFX 4 mostly. That's what I'm thinkin. Then come end of the year, Canvas Knights will be out also. Whether that is a MOD on the 1.3 or another seperate install is beyond me.

The best thing I could tell you George is to have multiple installs. And man that's what I'm doing now, I now have a fourth install only to find out there's an update for UI 1.2, UI 1.2.5 is gonna be installed over 1.2 so you can have the 4.09m official patch with a switcher.

Man it's confusing I tell ya. I all I can say is let me be the test pilot and try it out. But that 1.2.5 seems a wee bit more confusing. I'll gonna have to have another one for that or something I don't know.

I can tell you that you only need 4.09m for History SFX or storm can correct me if i'm wrong.

FS I need a seperate install for it cause I don't know what's up with me not getting in now.

You've got that right!



Try naming your folders like this:
Ubisoft\IL2...-UI1.1
Ubisoft\IL2...-UI1.2
Ubisoft\IL2...-HSFX4

then just remove the '-????' from the folder name
to run the version of the game from 'Hyperlobby'
As to which one to run, and when.
Ask everyone else. That's what I do.

Doing the right click on the connect button hyperlobby, yes?

What he's saying is have 3 different installs in just one Ubisoft folder. Here's an Example



After that upon logging on to hyperlobby right click the connect button. It'll bring up the game path selection screen.
(Automatic)
Search your by either hitting the search button on the selected drive and it will automatically search for your game and show the related game paths for you installs.

Or....
(Manual)

You could manually fine the game path. Infact put it in yourself if you know where your game is installed.

If your using Windows Vista(or XP), use the shortcut on your desktop, right click on the icon and click on Properties Then click on the shortcut tab.




There you will see a field containing the path to your game, click in the target field and highlight the text (pressing Ctrl+A) and then copy (Ctrl+C) the text to your game path selection screen by pasting it (Ctrl+V) in the Game path: field. NOTE: Remove the (") Quotation Marks at the begining and end of the text.

After that press save and your good to go.

Do this for the game you wish to switch to for using on hyperlobby.

Unfortunately there's isn't a simplified switcher for this sort of thing, so this will just have to do.

by jove I think I've got it!! Let's hope all works. As far as FS and the other campaigns, is there anyone who has a complete list or run down of what each campaign NEEDS to be able to fly, like FS for instance, is it the latest FS mod, the latest zuti thing, 1.1 or 1.2 and such, if I can hash em out before game time, well, the battles half won

[Razgriz_37]

That's a question that I'm asking as well. See I don't know, I've checked the forums but no official word.

Here's Some thing Smokin' posted on there that we all would like to know.

That is way cool. Ctrl-shift-click was what I had been using to same effect. Right click on the 'connect' button at hyperlobby connect screen and you can select the directory to point to for game to be used. I have a 1.1 and a 1.2 directory. I use the right click and then change the 1 to a 2 or vice versa depending on version I need. I also have a version of 1.1 and 1.2 UI switchers shortcut on my desktop to switch between 408 and 409.
