I present you the IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 Mat Manager Self-Install program. It will install Mat Manager for you v2.36 of course. This basically installs all you need to run Mat Manager v2.36 on your pc. After it installs in will also install the Mat Manager program files and put a shortcut on your desktop too.
The download link:
files.filefront.com/Mat+Manager+v236exe/;9014898;/fileinfo.html
The program will install directly to the Ubisoft/IL-2 1946 folder on your harddrive, all aptches are combined into one program and, the program is less than 40mb.
Procedure after you install the program:
1) Copy your 1946 game's "il2fb.exe" and rename the copy to "il2.exe." (You should now have both versions in your game's main folder. Don't simply rename il2fb.exe or else Hyperlobby and other utilities won't work.)
2) Edit the [Game] section of your game's conf.ini file so that clearcache=0.
3) Go to your PaintSchemes folder and make sure that Cache and NetCache are not 'Read Only.'
4) Customize some MATs and save your changes. Click on the Load tab at the top left corner. Exit IL2-MAT Manager and let the files transfer. Start 1946 and see if the changes appear in the game. For testing purposes, changing the default Japanese insignia to any custom MAT will give very obvious results.
If you have any issues please post them here since this version is only a beta and further testing might be needed.
Credit goes to Aces_High_2 for this great program/utility.
The file is still a beta, but i am hoping that one of you guys will try it out and see if it works.
If you do experience problems let me know, i can probably help you resolve them.
