Il2 retail version install and what is needed to bring it up to ver 4.08

~S~

One of my friend just installed the retail version of IL2. Is there one patch that can bring it up to version 4.08 or you need several patches. I just dont remember how I did mine. Patch that I have saved on my computer: IL2Sturmovik1946_Setup_4.08.zip (3,550,319kb) and IL2_1946_408m.exe (148.259kb). I would like to know if the retail version (merged) brings the game up to 4.07 and if the only thing I have to do is install the 3.5 gig patch then do I just extract the patch to the already existing IL2 directory? then run the game?

Thanks for any advise.

If he didn't get il2 1946 then there are so many patches you have to install, it isn't worth it. Tell him to go to Best Buy and get il2_1946 for $20. Then he only has 4.08m to download which is in our vault. Best solution m8.

~S~ Blairgowrie,

Well he did buy the merged game (FB+PF+A..) and he told me that when he was starting the game it would see version 4.07 on the loading screen. If that is right then the only patch he need to have is the 3.5 gig IL2Sturmovik1946 ver 4.08 patch, Right?

Thanks.

I think I just clicked

Or you can just install the retail version of 1946 from the DVD and then install the 352ndFG unified installer and it will bring it up to either 4.08 or 4.09 via the included switcher and you'll also have a number of mods installed for your enjoyment.
