Imagine several flights of different bombers and various fighters all wearing TX skins!! Here is the original post from Herr Uberdemon announcing his latest upgrade to this amazing work of his.....
Dear UQMG users from the IL-2 FB Community,
(Download and Installation Instructions in the bottom of this post.)
I am extremely excited to announce the immediate availability of the most exciting UQMG upgrade to date, not only it brings all new features of patch 2.01 through the planned features of 2.04 for IL-2 FB AEP, it provides every upgrade released for UQMG to date. It is free, of course, and will bring your UQMG to version 4.4.4. I will highlight the most important features below. All in all, IL-2 FB will bring you now more enjoyment than ever with the new features in UQMG.
* With the previous upgrade, I brought you UQMG to include ALL 43 maps in IL-2/FB/AEP/patches. Now I bring you the total culmination of my last few years of work on UQMG. I have included the ability to customize each aircraft in a flight (Pilot Skills, Aircraft Skins, Pilot Skins, Ability to define a flight as AI only for Coop). The features of the new Skin Editor Interface - available in the Flight Editor are included below:
- Edit Skin for each aircraft in an original flight
- Edit AI Skill for each aircraft in an original flight
- Edit Pilot Skin for each aircraft in an original flight
- FULLY COMPATIBLE with Cloning, so you can have large formations of aircraft with customized features all done in seconds.
- Ability to RANDOMIZE Skins, Skills and Pilot Skills for original and Clone Flights
- Ability to make flight only available as an AI flight in Coop
- Display/preview Aircraft/Pilot skins
- Quick Config, Time saving features
- Load and save skin/skill/pilot features to/from "uqmg" mission data files (UQMG is still compatible with previous version uqmg data files, so all your previous missions are compatible with UQMG)
* UQMG Exclusive - Ability to randomize Clone Flight type AS WELL AS their skins! So if you have randomized clones, they will have the correct randomized skins applicable to the particular type of aircraft.
* 3 New sample uqmg data missions to get you going with the new features. The missions are located in the "save\upgrd0008". Typically I include more missions, but these are just so you can sample the new features and go on with creating your own. The CFS-like template mission may take 1 to 2 minutes to generate because of the 99 waves with random skin, skill and pilot feature.
* LIMITATION: Patch 2.04, is not released yet, but as of the currently known features, only one of them has effect on UQMG, namely two bomb ordinances for the Hurricane II.b. For your convenience, this UQMG already includes that feature. Until patch 2.04 comes out, simply don't use the two bombloads for compatibility with patch 2.01.
* THANK YOU:

To install this upgrade:
========================
* Download WinZIP file from
http://www.uberdemon.com* UnZIP it in the directory you installed UQMG for IL2 FB (most likely "c:\program files\uberquickfb"). Best way to do that is to Right Click on the zip file and then go to the Winzip options, then select "Extract Here".
* Start UQMG as usual.
* ONLY INSTALL UPGRADE AFTER YOU'VE RUN THE ORIGINAL UQMG INSTALLATION SUCCESSFULLY AND PLAYED AT LEAST ONE UQMG GENERATED MISSION IN IL-2 FB!!!! IF YOU INSTALL UPGRADE BEFORE YOU RUN UQMG, IT WILL NEVER WORK. If you do that you will need to uninstall UQMG from the Windows Control Panel, then manually erase the UQMG directory, then you will need to re-install it, go through every step without skipping anything, then run it, follow instructions when running, generate a mission, if successful then install upgrade. Needless to say, read the instructions.
* If you get asked to overwrite a file, say "Yes to All".
Best Regards
