It is IL2 No-CD exe , for un-modded games from SAS and extract it to your new “IL2 Sturmovik 1946 Game folder”
Next create and Add these folders
Quicks
NetCache
cache
The Quicks folder is where the sim keeps the Quick Missions that you save. If you don't have the folder there is no place for you to save the QMB missions. If you don't use the QMB save feature you won't miss it until you want to use it.
The NetCache folder is where the sim initially keeps the skins that are used for an .ntrk video or the skin someone uses during online play. If you don't have the folder there is no place to save the skin and any .ntrk made without having that folder will not use the correct skin during playback. IIRC, It uses the default skin.
The cache folder is where the sim keeps the multiplayer Missions. If you don't have this folder you can't read the briefings for a multiplayer game.
You must Move the IL2 Sturmovik 1946 folder before doing any Patching or Modding and Make Sure It works Off Line and Add the missing folders for IL2 to work correctly
Now your Ready to Patch and add mod Packs to your game
Directing Hyper Lobby to the correct version (If you have multiple versions this is the quickest why to change versions)
Create a Desktop (IL2 fb.exe) Icon from the new “IL2 Sturmovik 1946 Game folder” you just pasted and test it off line using the exe in the folder
Then right click and Select “Create Desktop shortcut Deleat the Desktop shortcut created by Steam before renameing the New shortcut
Next direct the target to Hyper Lobby
Exit the Lobby
Right click on Connect
The search box appears
Right click in the game Icon you want use select properties
Highlight and Copy the Target

Test the target By Hosting a game At this point it doesn’t matter What Version or if others can join we just need to test the target path Then You can patch to current
Hope this helps as always Enjoy
