rts.dll installed by game = 1.24Mb - if you explore CD2 there is a copy there which you can copy and paste to IL2 folder

rts.dll for no CD = 104kb if you have anything other than this for whichever you choose it wont work.

the original IL2 rts is notorious for not copying correctly, hence the copy/paste version on CD2. My first ever install showed rts as 0Kb

If you have a problem with the no CD version can I get some feedback on it Please so I can post it back at source
