Need help to get 4.04 capability for Flight School

I think it was Sneaky or Gen that offered to help me set up my system to be able to load 4.04m again. Currently I only have 4.05m and have MEPS tomorrow for Flight School. It has been brought to my attention that they run 4.04m still...why I do not know.

Can anyone help me out here?

4.04 <-> 4.05

Hi, Doc!

Please follow these steps just in order to switch between the two versions:
  • 1. Create a copy of the files.sfs in your main IL-2 folder and rename this copy into files.405. You should have now two copies of the same file but with different names.

    2. Download these files: files.404, 404.bat and 405.bat. Copy them into your IL-2 main folder.

    3. In order to switch between the two versions simply click one the proper batch file (404.bat or 405.bat).
That´s it, Doc!

:)

Ok it seems that version 4.04m is working but I cannot revert back to 4.05m for some reason. It will not run the il2fb.exe unless i run 4.04m....yikes!

Amount of files to switch

Doc!

There should be five files you need to have got for switching between the two versions:
  • 404.bat
    405.bat
    files.404
    files.405
    files.SFS
If you shouldn´t have one of these just say so and I´ll provide it to you ... :?

Thats it...... you never posted files.405 or files.sfs

As of right now I have copies of all the .SFS files with .405 extensions as well as both batch files and files.404. But no "files.405" or "files.sfs" file. I am guessing this is why it will not allow me to revert back.
