Up 2.01 patch is out
Includes a fast immediate switcher Up2.01 versus HSFX and back with just one click. Terific!
Here are the newsa realated to the new patch.
There is also a fixer for some bugs, but if you did not download the patch before April 9th you do not need itr, as the new patch has been updated.
This is the readme file:
UP 2.01 Patch available! 8/4/2010
This is the last and most important patch of the UP 2.0 series as it fixes/tweaks an enormous amount of stuff and moreover adds Unique characteristics and capabilities never known before for the modded versions of IL2 1946, and not only.
I will start first from the main 2 unique characteristics of UP 2.01.
For the first time it adds full support for HSFX by using an independent Switcher and not the JSGME mods enabler. By this you can now enjoy FULL crt=2 compliance with systems running HSFX and also you have the option to install HSFX updates Directly, provided that you have switched version first. In any case i will also provide HSFX updates when they are available to ensure even better support.
The other Unique characteristic of it it is the auto-restore, auto-update possibility! Yes, you read right! From now on people who may have some damaged installation or anything else can Update their installations by clicking at the Update shortcut on their desktop. This way we may also make Small Updates Without the need to download them. You only have to check to the autoupdate button of UP. Thus the nightmare ends here for people who couldn’t install the game right because of few misplaced files and also for squads that now can have all of their members updated!
And last but not least the most advanced installer will be even more fault-proof.
And now its time to list the characteristics of the UP 2.01
UP 2.01 ReadMe file:
Reverted to stock values the following: (by HaDeS)
The characteristics of the tanks, artillery, ground units (armor, rate of fire, velocity, elevation, rounds, range, etc…), Ships(armor, rate of fire, rounds, range, etc…), the toughness of the stationary planes, the explosive range of exploding train wagons.
The behavior of the bombs, torpedoes and rockets in game.
All the Japanese bombs reverted to stock exploding range power.
The majority of the Allied and Axis aircraft weapons are reverted to stock values (with the exception of the tracers-contrails where applicable).

PART 1
PART 2
PART 3
I can never thank enough all my friends here. All the people in our friendly company that made UP a reality. This release could have Never be done without:
Pappy, the maker of the awesome Installer and UP Switcher, and so many things i lost count .Served in any “front” he could and most important: He has so much patience that he can even bear me,
CRO_Ante, our Linux Guru and the guy that made the auto/updater-restore a reality after endless hours of implementation and testing! Also the guy that helps me with crt=2 testing for Linux.
|ZUTI|, well, everybody knows MDS right? No need to say more, Endless hours of implementation and testing. Words are never enough…
Kwiatek: One of the most (if not THE most) hard-working people I’ve ever met, He has created, corrected and tested dozens of FMs. His FMs are adorable even by people who really know(can’t say more ) about IL2’s FM engine. He is the non-stop “heart-beat” of UP’s Flight Models. His knowledge in FM area is unique.
RaDaR: He is an “all around” player. He is literally in every field. From java-compiling to 3d modeling. His ability to track so many things simultaneously is one of his 2 unique characteristics. The other is to be such a great fellow.
Emil: He is team’s “cold blood”. He can act wise when others are “too hot-headed” to do so. An energetic and organized person also.
Boomer: His knowledge about maps and missions is simply second to none He is responsible for UP’s maps. Without his effort UP would be much poorer and less “shiny”.
KDN: Well, if anything needs “tidying up” he is the guy! He is a perfectionist by nature and is a key-value that every team needs. He has not only “tidy-up” all of UP Menus but he also makes the comparative performance charts for all the flyables in UP.
Stratodog: He is our second fellow after Kwiatek that sweat in the FM field. But how could it be otherwise since he is a pilot that have actually flown a real P-51! Moreover he is a great database for WWII “birds” having deep knowledge in many fields.
Gryphon: The third guy that sweats for the FMs by testing them. He also makes performance charts along with KDN. Endless hours of work.
WildWillie: His help in the DF servers field is of great importance. Endless hours of working and testing also.
AJD-NZ: He is not only our “mission-guy” here but a great asset having knowledge (and wisdom) in many fields.
Wimbly: He has a great knowledge of military things and especially in ammunition. He also has great knowledge of WWII.
iain 51: He also has great knowledge of planes and he is a WWII enthusiast. A living database also.
Lazarus: The leader of the largest On-Line Competition in IL2. His support was/is crucial. He trusted us and made the decision to make UP the defaut addons-package for the 1.200 virtual pilots of USLG. We hope he didn’t regret it,
I want also to thank all the rest of our team that participated also. Most of them are quite busy and thus they couldn’t get involved more.
They also deserve a big thanks for being a part of our friendly team.
And i am such a blessed man to have such great people like the above for friends. This is my greatest accomplishment, and i mean it.
And all the above are for free because some people sacrificed their time in order to help other people. People like the above do not care about “milking the game”.
We only care to help the others and evolve IL2 further under the Free spirit we have.
And last i would like to thank all of you who play with UP and i hope you enjoy it,
Take care,
HaDeS
Edit:
I’m sure I can say for more than just myself HaDeS,thank you for your leadership and vision
let alone the countless hours of devotion to IL-2
There is so much more that you could be thanked for,
but I know your a humble man and I will not embarrass you more than I already have
Here is the link where you can download the patch, divided int 3 files. The first one is the installer managing the installation of the other two.
