Okay, where should I start here? Alright, you MUST own a copy of IL2 1946 Sturmovik, then install it. Once you get that monstrosity installed (excellent game actually, one of the best), then make your way over too http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/t ... #msg239532 and download every file. If you happen to use uTorrent, or something similar I strongly suggest that you grab the utorrent info from clicking here: http://koti.mbnet.fi/raukorpi/SAS_F%27n ... ck.torrent
Alright now, just too warn you it is so massive that it took me 18 hours to download it (9+ Gigs). Now just to let you know, this is not just for DBW 1946, but it revamps the entire game itself, so if you think your good, I suggest you brush up otherwise you will be mince meat.
NOTE: Once you install IL2 1946, DO NOT install any other patches.
[Install Instructions]
> Now install DBW 1.0 to 1.71 SuperPack (INSTALL IT where you installed IL2 1946)
> Download DBW-1916 update pack v2.1:

PATCHES AVAILABLE

http://www.vpmedia.eu/il2/zip/DBW1916_patch4.7z
* Install DBW update pack v2.1, then install the patches (1,2,3,4).
> Go into your "<drive letter>:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946", and start a program called "IL-2 Selector.exe". This program will become your launcher.
*Also note that there is a mod manager by the name of JSGME.EXE which has some other options or mods you can activate. Some will work with DBW 1916, and some will not.
Now you should be fine, launch the game from the launcher, and have fun.
One more thing...
FINAL NOTE: (Yeah I know, talk talk talk, is that all I'm good for... Hmmm depends on who you ask.) I have found that there is no random generated campaign to speak of, only prescripted missions, and campaigns which is a shame actually, so you won't be getting the feel of really taking part in a giant battle.[Where to install Campaigns which you have downloaded]
To download Campaigns or missions for DBW 1916, visit this link here http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/board,217.0.html and download what you like to download. For this small example I will be downloading this one http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/t ... 045.0.html
It's called Bloody April.
Once you get the campaign, extract the contents to a temp directory somewhere. Now make your way over to where you extracted those files, and make your way until you see the folder called "1917_Bloody_April", and copy that over to this directory "<drive letter>:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\Missions\Campaign\GB"
When you start a campaign, select Great Britain, and you will see "1917_Bloody_April" in the list, select that, and you will be flying the skies.
Which now brings me too another game I have spoken off which is dynamic, and I will be creating a video for it since it is that good. Oh right the name of it, instead I'll give you a link to another post I have made... Link: http://www.norbsoftdev.net/forum/other- ... k-included
