Hi guys ^:)
Just a quick word to say hello :wink2: my name is Ade I'm from St Helens Merseyside, I'm a self employed plasterer.
Been flying sims on and off for years, started on TFX and gunship 2000 and have flown rc models for 15 years or so.
Only had an Internet connection for 9 months and have been hooked on racing sims since, so now i feel the need to spread my wings and get them shot off.


Hope to fly with you guys if its OK ( I'm not very good though)

Cheers Ade

Welcome Ade!

Sounds as if you may fit in well here, mate. Most of the members of the =FI= are usually plastered.

How are you set for flying.

Do you have 1946?
are you updated to 4.08?
Are you modded to 4.091bm?
Or am I talking gibberish to you LOL?

Need help give us a shout ;)

Right Ive got the 4.08 patch loaded but I'm having problems trying to register at All Aircraft Arcade, just keeps telling me ( The authorization code you have entered is incorrect) copied and pasted, typed it in but it ain't working ,so i cant get the 4.091bm mod yet.
So I'm nearly tooled up, IL2 1946, check ! 4.08 patch, check ! HyperLobby, check ! Teamspeak 2, check! sidewinder joystick, check ! TrackIR, check ! 40 inch plasma TV , check ! flying skills, nope !!!!.
Also looking for a 8 inch touch screen for the touch buddy thingy.


Cheers Ade.

Yeah I had that problem with AAA when I first tried to log on but I believe after reading through the forums there I found a solution so keep going ;)

All you need now is to copy your complete il2 1946 folder to a nother drive or location ready for the 4.09b1m mods. Make sure you name it something like 1946mod or something similar so you can tell which one is which.

Then all you need from AAA is the unified installer and cannonuk's BOB map and you'll be up in the air with the best and the worst of us :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi again ^:)
Just been installing all the skins(could take some time) very nice paint jobs by the way, great work =D] must have took yonk's , been working on GTL car skins myself for the team I'm in over at SRouk, painting them up as police cars :lol: they do look good on track with the Blues Brothers chasing a Mini Panda car :D I think I've been spoilt over there with one click auto install skin packs. Anyways one question, when I only see one skin for a make of plane and there are different MK's do i stick a copy in each skin file.

Think that's all for now
Thanks Ade ^:|
