RB3D to IL2 Conversion

[Lucky13]

Hey some of you might know me from rb, well I found my IL2 FB cd in my closet and figured I would give it a go. Seemed fun, a bit hard tho;)

What would I need to play it online, ie. what is the latest version, saw one you could download from steam called IL2 1946.

to play online you need to patch it to v4.08 after that you can use the AAA universal installer and it will give you the six variations that are currently played (really just four, plus two that enable TrackIR to zoom in/zoom out and lean from side to side.

These are
4.08 no mod
4.08 mods
4.08 mod with 6DOF

4.09 no mod
4.09 mods
4.09 mod with 6DOF

The mods make the AI aircraft flyable and gives you a proper cockpit for them. Also new maps and updated sounds and graphics.

Assuming you don't have Hyperlobby, a majority of IL-2 1946 online servers host their games through here, download the latest Hyperlobby client(Ver_3.9.111) from their website.

Once downloaded first you must:

1. Select the Forgotten Battles check circle
2. Create an account by creating a callsign and a password in the avaiable areas
3. It will ask to please confirm your password by chat so submitt a password
4. Submitt an E-mail address after that
5. search for the game path and were good to go

Hyperlobby should load up to a chat lobby listing the game servers on the left and players on the right. For more details go to hyperfighter.sk

would it be okay to buy it via steam as a download, or will that make trouble with the updating?

[Razgriz_37]

Wait so do you have the 4.08 patch with your cd?

[Lucky13]

the cd I have is il2 forgotten battles, not the 1946 version.
I have patched it to 1.22

[Colslaw]

FB won't work with the current servers, you need to get IL2:1946 and then proceed.

There were a few different version

IL2
IL2 aces expansion pack
IL2 Forgotten Battles
Pacific Fighters
1946

1946 combines all the previous variants into one game

[Razgriz_37]

Yep you got to get a whole new version, the patch 4.08m will come with it. Forgotten Battles is "played out", exstinct, or history.

Here's a link to the website of the plublisher of the game.

oki I have il2 1946 with 4.08 patch
what is that AAA universal installer and where do I get it;) as to training, sure, first time in il2 so I have alotta conversion from rb to do;)

[Razgriz_37]

The AAA Unified Installer is the modification of the game that most of the community is using, a number of servers like ours run that mod so you can play with the aircraft that are not flyable in the 4.08m patch. You can get it >>>here<<<.
