All I need to begin attempting the install of the patch and the mod is IL21946? I might try it this weekend.

I had it on DVD but I ended up just grabbing the GoG version for the sake of simplicity. That version worked just fine. I set up a separate folder for the BAT install.

I have the Steam version. I would guess I would have to do the same as you.

I have the steam version. No separate folder. You install directly into the steamapps/common/IL-2 1946 folder.

You certainly don't need a separate folder. I just wanted to segregate my BAT install from my current IL-2 install.

After installation there should be a file IL-2 selector.exe in the main directory (you need this to select the era you like in the modded game).

This file also allows you to select and run the stock game, even with all the BAT files installed.

Yes, indeed.

With all that I still wanted to keep my original install intact. Just a personal choice of an IT guy with 35 years of experience seeing software installs go belly up.  :pullhair:

I guess you do what you need to do but, man, I wish they could find a better download provider than mediafire.

Maybe we could all donate and buy them a server.... :)

Yup. Did that. I wish they had torrents for the expansion packs. I will muddle through it. I do realize these guys are working for free and I DO appreciate that. I don't want to give the impression I am ungrateful for their efforts. It just seems like it take several attempts to get a good download from mediafire. I don't know if signing up for their paid services would help.

Thank you, sir! I apologize if that was documented somewhere and I missed it.

I'm bumping this thread because I recently had to do a re-install of B.A.T. with all the expansions. It has once again come a long way since I started this thread. They have released multiple expansions of the base mod...there is literally 125 years of aviation in this mod. I ignore the Dawn of Flight stuff, but absolutely love the WWII options and jet age stuff. There are hundreds of aircraft modeled...recon, fighters, bombers, prop, jet, helicopters, etc. They have accomplished a truly amazing thing with this mod and really kept IL-2 1946 alive.

Download and install was much easier for me this go around, but it did take a lot of time to download everything. The mod all together will weigh in at over 60GB! Still, I think its totally worth it. I was disappointed with the initial release of Wings over the Reich, largely because of the lack of scope and limited aircraft to pilot. IL-2 1946 with this mod installed is the total opposite experience.

Here is a showcase of some of the latest...







This last video only seems to be using the SAS mega mod, but it doesn't appear to be using the SAS BAT mod...still, the scale...it shows off what the engine is capable of.

IL2 1946 with all its modes has to be the biggest bang for your buck in flight sim history.
