    CoD V5 install for newbies follow these steps. but what are they ?

    Hi,
    I have googled CoD v5 incase that way I can find it as I failed on the forum here.
    I see a dodgy site and a cracked version, I then see Steam, in there I see a confusing myriad of updates, as well as videos, .
    The thing to clock on and install DOES NOT APPEAR OBVIOUS amidst all this.
    Just which of them do we activate first, or do we simply go to the latest update, what is it ?...and install that and it puts on the entire V5 bang up to date.

    I know from bitter experience that get one little part of install and updates wrong, and all hell breaks loose.

    With earlier versions one had to install the basic version, then play it, then install the next update, then play sim, then ditto, ditto. forget to fly sim between them and have to format PC and start all over again.

    A ring binder full of notes, like defusing a bomb !

    So as I see zero advice on all this, or where to get V5 from, I am asking here for me and all newbies as well, the correct procedures in installing V5 and its updates, in what order, or does the latest update do everything that came before it, i.e. all previous updates are bundled into it, and does it also install V5 as well ?

    I HOPE THIS THREAD WILL SET OUT THE ESSENTIAL STEPS FOR NEWBIES, AS WELL AS THOSE OF US WHO WANT TO GET IT RIGHT GIVEN PAST EXPERIENCE.

    First I suggest back up C drive, ! (I dont like restore points, they can get lost, get Acronis True Image Home for example !)

    1. Steam
    2. Buy Cliffs of Dover (and/or Tobruk) if you haven't done so. (If you bought it at https://il2sturmovik.com/store/cliffs-of-dover/, then there's this: "Cliffs of Dover requires Steam to run. After purchase, you will receive a key to activate the game on Steam. This version of the game was updated to run on modern operating systems, including Windows 10.")
    3. Click INSTALLL
    4. Click PLAY

    That's basically it...

    Thanks,
    I recall I bought it on Steam,
    then on went Mod v3
    then added more TF mods as they came out,
    now with v 4.53
    I understand the update to v5 is free.
    so I need to find my 'key', wherever it is.
    or will it remember me ?

    Yes.

    Your steam account will know who you are when you log in to it.

    you cant even play the game without steam.

    so go into steam

    and update your game.



    EDIT:



    Not sure about old versions.. but certainly the current version and any old ones I have ever owned are dependant on Steam to run.

    I very much doubt anyone wants to get into a lengthy dicsussion on version 3.0.2.5 or whatever

    It's like talking about windows 3.11. Nobody cares except people who collect historic software. Nothing wrong with that as a hobby. but not really relevent here.

    update your game!!.. keep the legacy versions if you really want to.

    Update... and join the rest of us

    There are 3 different versions of Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover on Steam:

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/7...Blitz_Edition/

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/6...iffs_of_Dover/

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/6...iffs_of_Dover/

    You need to install the 1st one, the Blitz Edition, that you already own if you bought Cliffs of Dover in the past on Steam.
    The other 2 are not installable anymore, anyway.
