Cannot access my purchased maps

[pilotpierre]

I just updated a 13Gb update after a 4 month absence and cannot access any of my purchased maps. 
how do I activate/access them?

[Thad]

Have you re-booted since updating?

[pilotpierre]

The game or the PC. Will reboot the PC now

Have rebooted both but still cannot access all purchased maps???????

[453=SGII_Wotan]

What do you mean by purchased maps? is that the maps you can access in quick mission builder like Moscow or Kuban ect

pardon my ignorance I am a West Australian

?

[pilotpierre]

All the maps under my photo that were purchased And the same maps in the quick mission builder. Very frustrating but I am assuming there will be a quick fix. 
 

I just need someone to tell me how to go about it.

 

I can only access the maps that came with the game

[Nadelbaum]

What does the main screen show you in terms of the different modules? They are in red in the bottom right of the main screen.

Well, this statement of yours is a bit confusing for me, because if you say you can only access the maps that came with the game,
then everything should be OK, except for the Normandy map, which is still under way and not published yet.

And the other point is, you cannot purchase any map per se, as they only have maps according to the modules you bought. So,
if you want to check the installed maps, then I suggest you launch the QMB (quick mission builder) and click on the dropdown
menu on the upper right corner. Here you should see all accessible maps, except for the Normandy map, which is still under
construction.

Hope, I did clear this up and I didn't misunderstood your question/concern.

Cheerio

Try looking at your License key page, accessed from your profile page. There should be a Key activated indication to the right of all your purchases.

Can you take a screenshot and show us what's going on here? It's not quite clear what the problem is.

 

What types of gameplay have you tried? Multiplayer? Scripted Campaign? Career Mode? Quick Mission?

I too was confused by “purchased maps”

Yes, I believe the OP means modules... and referring to them as maps makes about as much sense... or theatres... 

 

Maybe the OP accidentally created two accounts? As one module on one account and the others on the other?

Aye, that was my initial default thought. Then it started occurring to me that there might be some unaccounted for confusion. After reading again, seems not.

 

Filing a ticket might be best PP.

Thanks for your input gentlemen.

Yes I have been absent for a while, I was diagnosed with terminal mesothelioma a few months back. I did 3 months of immunotherapy and that knocked me about some what. I lost all interest (and stopped participating in) my remaining 3 hobbles: 

IL2, model railroading and model making.

When it was determined the immunotherapy wasn’t working my oncologist started me on Chemotherapy. Big turnaround so I hit the PC and copped a 13 Gb update.

Down side of the chemotherapy and one of the pain killers is “Brain Fog” which is where I was at yesterday. I was trying to activate the maps through the red bars at the top of the screen. I eventually found my way to to the QMB and was able to access the maps through that.

Once again I apologise for my brain fog and the long absence from the game that helped my confusion along.

Very sorry to hear of your situation pilotpierre. I'm glad to hear that you will be going flying again.

No worries! I'm sure we all wish you the best health outcomes.

 

P.S. What era/area/gauge do you model?

I sensed there was something going on.

 

Glad you’re back, and you ARE on the mend!

Unfortunately mesothelioma is not like other cancers. It can only be slowed down. I was given 9 months to live 16 months ago so I am well past my use by date. Current prognosis is between 3 and 6 months.

 

I have accepted it and have no regrets and being a Viet Nam vet we are really well looked after from age 70. All medical,hospital,chemist, dental and every other thing medical etc are paid by the government. 

 

When I do the final departure, those benefits go to my wife plus she gets a (non means tested) War Widows Pension for the rest of her life.

 

I have been with this community since the original IL2 Sturmovik was first released. I am hoping to be here when BoN hits the streets. I think this will be the best one.

N guage late 60’s early 70’s.
 

Been to Canada 8 times and love it. the Rockies and Nova Scotia summer and in winter, BC, Alberta, Yukon, Baffin Island,  Manitoba, Churchill and Hudson Bay through to Greenland and Iceland. 

some Canadian wild life sightings 

 

Canadian Wildlife encounters

1st Arctic trip, 

5 Polar bears, numerous whales and walruses

 

2nd Arctic trip

Churchill, in rubber ducks amid Narwhal (100’s of) migration. We boarded an icebreaker from Churchill to Iceland via Jan Mayan and Greenland.

15 polar bears including a mother with 2 cubs keeping male bears who were feasting on a beached whale carcass.

Numerous whales including one that swam the full length of the ship eyeing us at anchor then turned around and swam back the other way eying us.

Herded a swimming polar bear away from an Eskimo island village to the mainland in 2 rubber ducks.

That's awesome. My father has been a N-scale and HO-scale model railroader for my entire life and recently I've caught the bug a bit myself. Have any photos of your layout that you'd be willing to share? I love to see what people have built.

[pilotpierre]

It wouldn’t let me upload any more. But all gone now, one guy purchased everything including the layout itself. I sold the sound powered locos separately, including the Rapido GMD and GMD-1, the best runners and authentic sounds of the actual (different engined) locos.

 

it was a point to point switching/short run layout along 3 walls of a 12ft x 9ft room

 

 

[BMA_FlyingShark]

Glad to see you're back with us.

I hope you'll get well.

 

Have a nice day.

Hey PP... we've missed your laconic humorous quips  ... keep soldiering on mate!  

[Feathered_IV]

Glad you are back with us Pierre.  Hang in there!

[Guest deleted@50488]

Pierre !  All of THE BEST for you and wishes of fast recovery !

 

Reading your post above where you describe your recent health experience was, in many ways, a good Lesson of Life !

Thank you for sharing it with us !

 

Glad you are back to business with IL-2 as well - playing IL-2 is, sometimes, one of my preferred escapes !

In my substantial experience with similar matters of life and death, I've found that doctors' prognoses typically lean towards gloom and doom.

 

It sounds like you have a good attitude, and you could be slingin' bullets over Normandy on D-Day '22. Best wishes to you!

I love the layout. I haven't seen so many point to point layouts so yours is one of the first that I've seen. Fantastic. Sorry that you head to let it go but nice that it will live on.

A couple of more phots of the now gone railroad

Jason,

          The phot I tried to include in my last PM but failed. Lego technical motorised, 2 speed gear box operated with a clutch and has operating diff locks.

Wish you an easy and successful chemotherapy monsieur Pierre!

Sad to know of your illness Pierre, always difficult to know what to say with a prognosis such as yours.

 

Take care and be safe.

I've travelled all throughout Canada (as a Canadian) but it still sounds like your trips have been more glorious than mine ? I need to step up my game as a Canuck!

 

P.S. Love the shunting and industrial locations you've set up there on your layout! I'm sure there are a lot of nice memories related to it.
