No, this patch isn't compatible (like all of our patches) with mod packs. You need a clean 4.10.1. UP3 devs can probably help you better.

Thanks!!
 

Thanks TD; I am very grateful for all the time, expertise and love that you have obviously lavished on this latest patch. Best wishes to all of you for a healthy and prosperous 2012.

Says that the file is temporarily unavailable... Could someone provide a mirror for the hotfix?

Just try again in a few minutes. Its just that way with megaupload. A mirror would be fine anyway.

Got it.

Here's a link in mediafire just in case: http://www.mediafire.com/?rkvikbrz6vyyv37

Thx for the quick reply.

I re-installed IL946 (DVD) and patched to 4.10 then applied 4.11 over that. The info at M4T states it can be patched over clean 4.10 or 4.10.1 - is that correct (seems to run fine but haven't applied the 4.11 hotfix yet)?

You're doing a great job, guys! I add a humble thank you to your dedication to this marvelous simmulator...

~S~

M4T quotes the Readme, so yes, this should work. But the hotfix is much recommended! You will probably not be happy without. :rolleyes:

Don't know what I'll do with her , but here's the AI TBD at long last & she is pretty:

Haha! I had the same feelings! :grin:

Thank you
 

A big thank you to Team Daidalos and any third party involved in this patch.:grin:

I had given up on getting 6DoF in the official game, but you managed to keep that little detail secret till the last minute.;)
It made a very pleasant surprise.

As an offline player I'm really looking forward to the improved AI.

I would have gladly paid for this patch (although it it isn't so much a patch as a major add on) but the fact that you guys did all this for free makes it all the more amazing.:cool:
It's a pity I can't buy you all a drink.

Thanks again.

Set up a QMB with 4 TBDs, make at least one of them an Ace, on the Pacific Islands map.

Then go up against them with a Ki 27.

Thank me later.

:-)

Help, the problem remain:
This almost always happen during combat. The screen froze for like half an second, and sometime later it happen again and again. The time interval of the froze screen is getting smaller and smaller untill it can't move at all and then this message shows up:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unsual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

please help

Wow - I didn't even know this was out - I tripped over the information over at Simhq - and I'm glad I did. Guess I'll likely have to wipe out my old modded version and do a fresh install....

I can't wait guys. Thank you! I also never realized you TD folks were doing this in your free time. I thank you for doing what you do, and hope your work leads to bigger and better things for you down the road.

One stupid, missplaced question, and I'll check out the readme, but do you have any roadmap for proper rendering implementation on standard, non 4:3 monitors? How about triple monitor setups?

I use mods to do this now, but I, and I'm sure countless others would love to hear your thoughts on this. And yes, I realize you've probably already answered this before - answers aren't always easy to find you know! :)

Again, a very humble thank you Team Deadalos. S!

Try complete reinstall game. And try re-install or delete your MS C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. After give know to us how is result.
mag

Thanks for your attention. I have just reinstalled the whole computer and windows 7. Its still happening.

Also, how do I reinstall MS C++ 2010 Redistributable Package?

try find on net and install latest version of MS C++ Redistributable Package for W7.
btw you have 64bit system?
mag

I think its time for a class on

C:\Program files\
C:\Program Files (x86)

this is not a good place to put none OS program software in a Win7 64 bit environment.

When installation ask to make a folder or where do you want it
Make a new folder

for games

C:\Games\ubisoft\IL2Sturmovik\
C:\Games\UP30\IL2Sturmovik\
C:\Games\HSFX51\IL2Sturmovik\

C:\*.* (name of Program or Software)\

this way you avoid the inherit security protocol for the win7x64 bit OS environment.
but you will still have to run as administrator.

yes, I am using the 64bit window 7 system. And I have just downloaded the package. I'll let you know the result later.

Also, some people suggest me to upload this file
But I don't know if it will tell you anything. I have checked, last time this happen was yesterday ----- local time 19/01/2010 8:25AM. But the file says: (last modified) Thu Jan 19 03:39:54 2012

Flanker1985 , can you please provide the mission which is causing the problems for you. As it seems that you are able to replicate the error it would help us greatly if we could do it too.

PS IIRC you mentioned somewhere that it is the DGEN missions that are causing trouble, does the error happens when you play campaigns or you can replicate it if you run the same mission from FMB.

Thanks in advance,

FC

Wow!!! Thank you for your attention sir!!! I thought I am being forgotten. Thank you!!

It is not specific mission that cause this issue. It's the length of the mission. If the mission is long, this will occur in the middle of the flight. I usually flight the DGen campaign for the Soviet. This usually will not occur in the first mission since the first mission is our base being bombed, so it is very short. But happens in almost every other missions. I'll upload here. This is the second mission:

Couldn't upload it, it says invaild file, so I sent to daidalos.team@googlemail.com

Thank you, I dowlnloaded it and I'll test it later today. I'm sure that this will help us to pinpoint the problem.

Thanks for your help,

FC

Thank you sir
By the way, sir. I almost forgot, it does happen more often in the DGen than others. If you play the DGen, it happens everytime when mission is long. But less chance it will happen if you play it in FMB or play a QMB. But there are still chances it will occure in FMB and QMB.

Hi, sir. I just retested after install the c++ visual package. But it is still happening. The first freeze occured roughly 20-25 minutes after the mission launched. And the finall freeze its about 10 minutes after that. From my experience. I also notice the close aircombat will accelerate this process, especially those time when you zoom in to shoot.

Best way to install
 

Sorry, I have been away a while. Is there a procedure for the the 4.11m installation? Do I need all previous versions?

Thanks, senobssorc

Just wanted to say that megaupoad was taken down under criminal charges.

Here's a mirror someone else posted: http://www.mediafire.com/?rkvikbrz6vyyv37

Thanks for the mirror! :)

yep,

It's really about time American corporations tried to improve profits by offering better service and finding a creative 21st century (as opposed to 19th century) marketing and copyright model instead of just bribing the US courts and government into going fascist and prosecuting everyone that upsets them :D

On a more positive note thanx for all the great work on the new patch TD

I've updated the first post with this link.
Thanks to anyone who uploaded the Hotfix there.

Hi, no luck so far, I played the mission you sent 3 times from FMB and waited for all planes to land before closing the mission. All three times mission played without problems.

I guess that this is a mission from Russian fighter campaign in DGEN so I'll try today to fly from there and see what is going to happen.

Flanker, have you dump from LOG.ist for checking?

mag

I have a feeling that this is not a game problem but a driver/3rd party app thing. Try to turn off sounds, that should limit possible sources of problems, and if that will not help then turn off all other programs which can be turned off (starting from catalyst control center or nvidia control panel to a long forgotten util running on systray. Try to focus on anything dealing with graphics).

What do you mean? What's a LOG.ist?
My computer is empty except IL-2. And the only 3rd party add on I have is only the Chinese voice. It just a few wave files replaced in the sample/speech folder.

log.ist is file with debug info which you can find in root folder of IL2.
But is need have activate in conf.ini
LOG=1
But first check things which wrote LesniHU about settings graphic card.

mag

Thanks sir, but what do you mean by "wrote LesniHU about settings graphic card".

So what patch do i need to have before downloading 4.11? 4.10m?

4.10 or 4.101

read:

Okay, got the patch and the hotfix (Sorry I "took an arrow in the knee" for a few months:)), it pretty sweet guys. I'm still getting CTD though in some situations, not sure what the cause is or how to replicate it. Anyone else experiencing this?

What is 6dof?

6 degrees of freedom. In other words you can now shift left-right and forward-back in the cockpit.

1st degree: Looking left and right (turning your head, like yawing with rudder)
2nd degree: Looking up and down (turning yout head, like dipping with elevator)
3rd degree: Moving your head to the left and right
4th degree: Moving your head up and down
5th degree: Moving your head forward and backwards
6th degree: Rolling you head sideways (like rolling with ailerons)

Starting Over-Please Help.
 

I am starting over with a brand new computer with all new downloads required. I own the original IL-2 disk. Can I reload the program from that disk, and then simply load and activate the 4.11 patch and hotfix? Any direction on the required steps and proceedures would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Follow up
 

After reading past posts, it seems I have to do the following steps:
1. Reload the original IL-2 1946 from my disk.
2. Load the 4.10 patch.
3. Load the 4.11 patch.
4. Load the Hotfix to the above 4.11 patch.
If this is correct, please advise.
After each patch, do I re-boot the computer for the patch load to become effective?
Thanks again in advance for any help.

If you're reloading from the disk you will need versions 4.08 and 4.09 too.

As far as I know you can just copy the 4.10 install folders to a new place and upgrade that. At least it has worked in the past with other patches.

Clarification needed,
 

Since my previous computer crashed and I lost the 4.10 install folder and all related contents, I assume that the previous posting which states I also have to load 4.08 and 4.09 prior to 4.10 and 4.11 is correct?
Thanks.

Correct.

patch 4.08m is on the "Il-2 Sturmovik: 1946"-CD (4.071m)

1. patch 4.09m
2. 4.09 skinpack, which is not mandatory (but recommended) and cannot be installed later

Other Locations:
4.08m: @mission4today.com
4.09m: @mission4today.com
4.09m SkinPack: @mission4today.com

Artist

It surely can be installed later, since it doesn't overwrite any of the files in later patches. It just replaces the default skins (which were rather outdated and ugly) for most of the eastern front planes with better ones.

You wrote the same in this post, but if a member of Team Daidalos writes it cannot, I rather believe him, no offense meant.

I remember that there were two versions of the 4.10 patch. Do I also need to load both versions?
Thanks again for your help.

I thought you already had 4.10...

So here's the other two:

• Download and install patch 4.10m (make a backup)
• Download and install patch 4.10.1m (make a backup)

Other Locations:
4.10m: @mission4today.com
4.10.1: @mission4today.com

Backup Question
 

So, when you state I should make a "backup", this refers to making a backup copy of IL-2 after each step of the patch downloads? And if so, should I do this for all of the patch downloads?
Thanks again.

I don't do backups (well, without counting my fresh 4.07 one) and my Il-2 lives. Backups are just in case.

Make a back up of the the original working install. Then do the patch thing, testing that it works each time. When you have a final 4.101 then delete the 4.08 and copy 4.101 (you might need that for mods) then do the last patch :)

I never regretted an unnecessary backup I made, but often one I did not take.
:grin:

Thanks for the Help
 

I went through all of the patch downloads last night and I am now up and flying again.
Thanks to all of you for your help in this process.
The last download I did was the 4.11 Hot Fix .rar file. I placed it into the IL-2 folder. I assume this particular file is not an executable type file. Was there any additional action needed on this last item?
Thanks.
wrb1215

No, just overwright the older one.

S!

There are still servers with just about every version of the game, hence my games folder:

http://untamo.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Pelit/I...illut.jpg/full
(screenshot taken before installing 4.11)

Don't just place it into the game folder as it is! RAR is a package file, which has to be unpacked with programs like 7zip or WinRar. It contains a file with a '*.dll' suffix, which is the one, that needs to be placed in the game folder (and overwrite the older one).

Just in case, it happens, that you in fact do know about RAR files (you posting implied, that you are not), then please forget about my writing. :grin:

downloaded 4.11 patchOK-but cannot get the hotfix to go in--says"cannot create DT.dll file access is denied
Thought about getting game from Steam but where does it auto patch to?

Hallo,

after installing the 4.11 Patch i always get CTD during dgen Campain or quick Dogfights.
So i wanted do download the Beta Hotfix Patch from Mediafire but the File is not there anymore.

Invalid or Deleted File.

The key you provided for file download was invalid. This is usually caused because the file is no longer stored on Mediafire. This occurs when the file is removed by the originating user or Mediafire.

If you believe you have reached this page in error, please contact support.

Is there another place from where i can Download this Hotfix Patch?

Steam does not have the latest versions.

That kind of error sounds like the file was corrupted mid download. You should download it again and try to extract it. You can extract the DT.dll file anywhere and then put it in the IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 directory later.

NOTE: If you have the game installed in C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) then you may also get this warning as this directory is write protected in Windows Vista/7.

Do I need 4.10 to install this patch?

Yes

HI, guys. My friend is trying to download the hotfix and found that it has been removed.
Can anyone please give us a new link? Thanks a lot

You don't need the hotfix if you install 4.11.1, is that an option for you?

Both links are down. Where can I get the fix from ? My Il2 4.11.1 crashes to desktop at startup.

You don't need the hotfix with 4.11.1. It is included there.

Did you install all other patches before you installed 4.11.1? Have you tried re-downloading and re-installing 4.11.1?

I had a clean 4.10.1 installation and I applied the 4.11.1 patch

You need to apply 4.11 before you apply 4.11.1. That should solve your problems. :)

thanks ;)

I do not know if someone still needs it, but both links to hotfix are broken. Here is another one from my dropbox: [link to file].

Just a quick question, Where is the link to 4.11.1 cant find one anywhere, im also getting 60% then CTD....Thanks

Dont bother with above posting Ive found it ..Thanks
