don't think you need anything to run the program, as such

once it is installed, run the normal start for the PF , then either start a new campaign and look under USN/IJN for the campaign, or go to single missions and pick which mission you want to try

LOL I pick a mission at random, and it was a base transfer mission, take off from here, fly to there and land !, oh joy

doing well in my Wake Island life, strange, had trouble with the Vals, but toar up the Betties, most fun was the 2 plane patrol, to chase down two Mavis flying boats

hmm hint, a P-39 (or in this case P-400s shouldnt try and loop a Zero, even if he still has a bomb attached)

Status: offline 		Help, I'm having the same trouble as Faust. I have the complete merged install FB+AEP+PF and all patched up through 3.04m. I have no launch button. And no, there is no campaign in any country file, and no missions in the singles files. I tried installing it to the default folder, and direct into IL2Forgetten Battles. The files are in the program folder, but nothing in game. Really, any suggestions will be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Status: offline 		hmmm this is strange

did you look under the mission folder, then the country ?

IE US

I show a folder with a Banzai name on it


did you run the patches from the game ?

check to see if you have the 303M and the 304M patches on your puter and rerun them if you did
(the patches that come with the game are 303 and 304)

if that dont help keep asking

Status: offline 		2nd idea, can you start IL-2 normally ?

if you can, then the missions should be in the normal campaign/mission set up

if you can't start up IL-2, I think you may of run the patches that came with the game, those are just for PF standalone

let me know one way or another

D:\IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles\Missions\Campaign\JA\BANZAI_JA

Status: offline 		okay I am confused here

so lets go step by step and make sure we on the same page (sorry if it sounds dumb)

1 (of course) start IL-2

2 get/make pilot

3 go to full missions

4 click side till IJA comes up

5 there should be a list labeled BANZAI-JA

the same should be there under USN

for a campaign

1 start/get a pilot, click on campaign

2 click on new

got to either IJA or USN

you should see a label, USNAF vs IJA

for the US you will also see BANZAI-SBD3

still think the install auto runs the patches that come with the game, and these are not the Merge patches, and I think that may be knocking something out of wack, try reinstalling 303m and 304m

over all, I am a little disappointed in BANZAI, it is no where close to TLDs, and while there may be some grammer mistakes in TLDs, they are easy to overlook, but ZERO campaigns being listed under the IJA ?, and no where have I ever seen the NAVY reported as the USNAF

let me know if this is what you are seeing in your game, hopefully we can figure it out

When I create new career and choose IJA only "Imperial Japanese Army Fighter" is on the list.

I also tried to copy this BANZAI_JA folder to upper level at
D:\IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles\Missions\Campaign\

But no luck.

Fortunately MP COOPs are in right place and working.

okay I got
IL-2/Missions/Campaign/JA/BANZAI_JA

and

IL-2/Missions/Campaign/UN/BANZAI_USN and BANZAI_USN_Bomber

not to beat a dead horse, but did you try reinstalling the 2 patches 303m and 304m

I think the game auto installs the patches that come with the game and they are 303 and 304

I had to reinstall the merdge patches to get the game to work

Status: offline 		Hey Hard Sarge, thanks for helping out! Nope, nothing anywhere. I download (and build) a lot of missions, and have alot of campaigns loaded, but nada on Banzai. I suspect you are correct on the patches. The thing is, the game works fine so I don't think the add-on auto loaded the nonmerge patches. I get a pop up during install that asks me to install 3.03 and 3.04, and it says it won't run without them, but I declined to do so because I'm afraid it will muck up my install because of the 3.03m and 3.04m. So, I was hoping someone who has the merged install and is patched through to 3.04m, could tell me if it was OK to go ahead and install the nonmerge patches anyway. If all that does is allow Banzai to load into the game, great. If it completely hoses my current set up, no way. And I'm afraid to try it just in case it all goes blooey!

Thanks again for any insights.

Status: offline 		Your welcome, just wish any of my ideas would of been of help

if you have enough room, copy your IL-2 folder (if you got a lot in it, like Aces and stuff, it will take a while)

then try it with the copy, that way if it dont work, you still got the good one to fall back on

for me, it killed my copy, and I had to reinstall the whole thing (I was then able to copy over my pilots, so I didn't really lose anything but time)

yes, I had seen something where it asked if I wanted to install the patches, and I said no, but I also, seen during the install, the patches being loaded

funny, we not heard from any one from Banzai or Matrix on this, maybe it needs to be posted in the bug section

Status: offline 		Hey Sarge, thanks for trying ! I did post it in the bug section, but I forgot to mention which add on, so, nothing so far. I started to make a back up yesterday, but needed the PC and it was taking forever. I have thousands of skins and several hundred missions, plus alot of tied-in utilities, etc. But I will try to copy it this weekend and try it with that and see what happens.

Later, m8.

Status: offline 		This is sounding like the install just got crumped. Its been a week or so since I first read your posts . . so I dont recall . . but have you tried re-installing Banzai? It certainly wont hurt anything. And if you want to cautions AND sure . . extract Banzai to a temporary location (just install it to a place other than where your game exists). Then you can manually copy the folders/files to your games location.

NOTE : If you do not want to get stuck with background graphics from these addon packs this is what you need to do (course Banzai was the first Id seen that gave us a choice). You can then look in the folders at the TGA's and pick-N-choose which ones you want :) Same with the music.

FYI

I running, IL-2/AEP/BOE/PF/TLD/BANZAI

got Barbarossa, but didn't reinstall it

are you sure it installed to the right path ?

it may of went to a Matrix folder instead of the IL-2 folder (it may even of put a Matrix folder inside of IL-2 !)

Status: offline 		I've asked X1 about this, but they're not aware of an installation problem with any configuration (as long as you are patched up with the included patches). I'll ask them again on Monday about this additional information.

There is also a new patch available for Banzai! - I don't believe it would do anything for installation issues, but it's worth a try.

Click Here for Banzai! Patch


Regards,

- Erik

thanks for looking into it

strange we go around 4 people at least with about the same kind of trouble

one guy did find it in a Matrix folder when he had installed it, when he went back and did the path himself, it worked out right

thanks for the patch link

Status: offline 		So how do I get Banzai to work with a merged install of PF? It looks like some files got installed in my Ubisoft\Pacific Fighters\ folder instead of \Ubi Soft\IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles\ folder. Is there an update to Banzai to fix this? Can I copy the files manually? If so, please provide instructions.

Status: offline 		okay, first off, what do you have in the other folder ?

is it the DGen, and folders for Missions and campaigns ?

if so, you should be able to copy and place them into the right game

in my missions folder, I have a BANZAI folder when I open the JA missions

in my UN (navy ?) folder for Campaigns, I have a BANZAI fighter folder and a BANZAI bomber folder

so try it and let us know, or if in doubt, post what is in the other folder, and I can check to see how it looks in my game

Strange, for the number of people having trouble with the install, and nobody from BANZAI is even looking or saying anything

(you know, if you want, you could try and do a reinstall, and set the path yourself, the game may be thinking you have it set up different, I know some of the Matrix patches, make a Matrix folder, inside of the Matrix folder when you just click on it)

hope this helps some :(

go to single missions and then click on either IJA (?) UN or RAAF and you should have missions under BANZAI (if you have missions for RAAF then it should be right, only RAAF missions I have so far are from BANZAI)

Status: offline 		My system info and path info is as follows. I've only ever had PF+FB+AEB installed as a merge install. I am currently running 3.0.4m.

The folder hierarchies of interest are:

Pacific Fighters (I'm guessing Banzai created this folder, but don't know for sure)

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Pacific Fighters\Missions\Campaign
This includes IN JA RA UN subfolders
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Pacific Fighters\Missions\Net
This includes coop subfolder
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Pacific Fighters\Missions\Single
This includes IN JA RA UN subfolders

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Pacific Fighters\banzaimovies

that's it in the PF directory

In

C:\Program Files\Ubi Soft\IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles

I have bin, Combat Over Europe, DGen, Missions, NGen, PaintSchemes, etc. (many others). This is my main PF+FB+AEB directory.

It seems like Banzai used the "Pacific Fighters" dir mentioned above that the app is not using.

Status: offline 		I am looking at my folders, I do not have a PF folder

so, would suggest, to copy the insides of that and paste them into your IL-2 folder

(it may take a while, but you may want to copy the whole IL-2 folder first, then paste the stuff from the inside of PF into that one, if it works, great, if it don't, oh well)

{by the by, I have the whole game copied 2 times besides the first game}

if you like offline play, would say to try out either BOE or TLDs, they have the Dgen campaigns, instead of the scripted ones that Case Blue/Banzai/Barbarossa have (for me, I like those better)

hope this helps

over all, would have to say, to check your path when you installed the game, and make sure it installed to the right place and did not just add a new folder to where it was installed

ie if it was suppost to go to Ubisoft\IL-2\PF, that it didn't just make a new Ubisoft folder and place the rest of the stuff inside of that
