New version problem

[Mxmill99]

Hello everyone, I started to use pwcg for a few days ago, I downloaded the new version of it but now it tells me to install in the root folder, to have mission log=1 but that's what u did. And if I don't pay attention it tells me to post the error file in rof forum ? Rise of flight ? Is that serious ? 

 

Anyways I post the screenshots and if someone knows what's going, I would be really grateful ☺️.

Have a nice day.

It looks like it is in the wrong directory.  The PWCGBoS directory should be right under your main game directory.

You unzipped it to a folder with the same name as the zip file.  In the PWCGBoS 14.1.4 folder that you created is the PWCGBoS folder which should be in the IL-2 Sturmovik folder along with bin, data, gui, etc.  Like this:

Hello thanks for your replies.

Actually I created no folder, I just unzipped the downloaded folder like in the video

That's it. It worked perfectly for the older version so I don't understand.....if this doesn't work anymore, I'm sorry I didn't read the "read me" file. 

If it's just the wrong place maybe I could see what's wrong but, why tells it me have the mission log on 1 ? It's already done....

The screenshot above shows that it is in the wrong directory.  When you unzip a file you can choose to unzip directly innto the folder or you can choose to create a folder with the zip file name and everything else goes from there.  The first is correct.  You chose the second.  

 

The fix is super easy - cut and paste one folder.

 

1. Go to il2-sturmovik battle of stalingrad\PWCGBoS 14.1.4

2. In that director you will see a folder called PWCGBoS

3. Cut PWCGBOS from PWCGBoS 14.1.4

4. Paste PWCGBOS into il2--sturmovik battle of stalingrad

5. When you are done you will have il2-sturmovik battle of stalingrad\PWCGBoS

 

il2-sturmovik battle of stalingrad\PWCGBoS 14.1.4 is empty at this point.  Delete  it.

I use 7-zip, which has a "unzip here" option.
