Login to the AAA forum. After that go download all 8 parts of the UI version 1.2. If you are updating from 1.1, simply start at Step 3 in the AAA post.
Download the 8 parts to a new folder, so that those 8 parts and only those 8 parts are in it. Carefully read the instructions in that thread. Keep an eye out to make sure that the files are properly finishing their download. Double check the file sizes.
After downloading is complete, but before installing, check for file corruptions, which have been reported by many people. Use WinRAR. If you don't have it, you can get it from here. Download either the 32 bit or 64 bit version, depending on your operating system. If you don't know, check your System in the Control Panel. If it specifies Windows as 32 bit, or doesn't specify, then it's 32 bit. If it specifies Windows as 64 bit, then it's 64 bit. Once you have WinRAR installed, create a temporary folder. Go into the folder that you downloaded the UI 1.2 files to, and right click on the exe. Select Extract files...., navigate to your new temporary folder and click OK. It will take a few minutes to extract all of them, and if there are any file corruptions, it will notify you at the end of the process. If there are corruptions listed, look at the file path, and note which UI 1.2 parts are involved. Trash the temporary folder. Trash the UI 1.2 parts which had corrupted files. Download those parts again from a different mirror. Then run the file check again, just like before. Do this until it doesn't give you any corruption messages at the end. Then you can install it.
In the folder which all parts are downloaded to, double click on the exe. When prompted, tell it where your main IL-2 folder is that you want to have modded, and click Install. Select Yes to All overwrites. When it's done, find and run the version switcher in your main IL-2 folder, and select select the appropriate 4.09b Mod version, depending on your TrackIR status, 6DOF or not.
