4.09... Mods... and Switchers?

[Snacko]

I'm getting a litte confused reading all the threads about this.

Is there a easy switcher to switch between 4.08 4.09 with Mods?

Thanks,

Snacko

[Klinger]

What threads ? Have I missed something ?

As far as I know, all squad meetings will be 4.08 with no mods, until the official 4.09 patch is generally available.

[Snacko]

S! Klinger,

Yes, I understand that our squad only uses 4.08m.

is crossdressing considered a mod?

Or only crossdressing your sheep?

[Klinger]

lol. Purely crossdressing is probably ok. Having gender changing surgery would be considered a mod.

When I think mod, I think low powered put-put, piloted by a poser.

[JensenPark]

I love Quadrophenia and the Who.

Used to dress like a mod in university.

Since you're new, Snacko, I'll enlighten you to the Dogz' position (if I may so humby do so....) rather than skip around the issue as the previous two posters have so bligthly ignored you...

And in addition to what Rattler said, the reason you are not getting much help from us is that few of us know what to tell you. We don't have any experience with the switchers. Now darkside Quazi does!

Yeah, I was wondering about being able to switch between three variations (08, 09, 09 w mods) but I think Im keeping my main install away from the mods for now. I am thinking of making a separate install for the mods, as there is a switch file for it at the 352 site as well, but it does take up alot of room on the hard drive. I THINK that is the only safe way for now until some genius (like Quazi or one of the other walking star fleet computers) comes up with a way

to safely switch around.

As for our "uncertain" members who find this reminiscent of not knowing what outfit to wear on a date...........(that'll make em wonder heh heh).......they are just......confused.

There's a reason for concern about the treatment of sheep around here.

Not all of us are as stable as I am...........

[Crash]

If you are going to have a separate install (hard drives are big now) why not have a different icon to select the hack? Just make sure that you give it a suitable name

[Snacko]

Again, I have not tried this and so cannot recommend this yet.

~S~ All

I use the switcher and the mods although there are some modeling in planes that I dont think are mathmaticly possible it is an awesome thing 4.09 is a great Idea that adds more realizism to the flight sim and I am computer stupid and I can make it work! I think these "mods" are just making the game better and more realistic and thats what sims are all about! Putting you in an enviroment that makes you belive you are THERE! hope I havent offended Anyone ~S~ Merdog

[Guest DD_Merdog]

~S~ and anyone wanting a link to the switchers and mods that I use message me and i will send you a link.

[Snacko]

S! MDog,

I think I posted a link to that one you sent me 2 posts above.

S! All,

I have installed and played with the mod above (2 posts) and it works fine.

according to this thread

http://www.battle-fields.com/commscentr ... 99&page=13

the haxxorz have a working 3d compiler to get new planes into the game and are working on this - the same thread shows a BOB map that cannonUK is working on - so how is Oleg going to punt a new game when they are releasing new planes like MK1 spits and a BOB map to fly it on ?

also who sets the parameters for the new planes and finally if they can introduce these then Im sorry but as sure as night follows day then some

[BBloke]

I'm sure it's only a matter of time but as one poster pointed out they are only "Improvements".

[BBloke]

By far the best post so far is this one.

[Rattler]

But doesn't that work look freaking awesome? WOW!

We'll see where this takes us I guess - someone has to have the time to deal with testing all of the FM's of newly made planes and puting them into a mod-pack....

For now, the vanilla IL2 1946 is just fine for me....I still love flying on the full real servers.......

[Rattler]

Those who do use the mods, like the 352nd, I'm sure, have a group of people who are making things as simple as possible to switch back and forth.

[Guest DD_Merdog]

~S~ All

The only thing is that Bob doesnt seem to be coming around. And when it does ti will be very limited due to the fact of so much into the grafics and modeling it will be just like GT5 for PS3 it has only a few cars but they are modeled CORRECTLY! and the other thing I worry about is system requirements! it will take a BA computer to run it which I am trying to get but its pricey!

At the same time people have gotten tired of waiting for the game that has been touted as "next year" for three years in a row! for now the modds are fun to play by themselves and I have no problem with switching to 4.08 to go online to have fun with it. Merdog

Here's an out of body, out of cockpit existence in IL2! :

[Rattler]

Right. Who's going to control that function? There's no way you should be able to mav around like that in a cockpit, and the reflector sight is still visible with your head stuck against the glass?

I don't like that....I just want to be able to lean a LITTLE to see around the armour on the Tempest, and sit up a BIT in the FW 190 to see the sight better, not that nonsense!
