Sorry, little confused here...it's been a while. For this version of UQMG for IL-2 FB+AEP+PF 5.0.32 - is it REQUIRED that you have PF also installed? Or will it work with just FB+AEP (making the PF features unavailable)? Like to fire this up again...didn't find anything in the ReadMe files.

Yes, you can install it. Make sure you install it separately from the old FB only versions of UQMG. In fact the default directory for this install is different from the old versions.

With that said, when you install the new UQMG, you should notice that in the Help menu there is an option called: "FB/AEP-Only User Message"

I have pasted below the text in the message:

*************
NOTES FOR FB+AEP USERS WHO DO NOT HAVE PF

Yes, UQMG is still compatible with FB+AEP only, with some caveats.

As the title for this major upgrade of UQMG indicates (UQMG for FB+AEP+PF), it was developed for the combined install of Pacific Fighters (PF) over an IL-2 Forgotten Battles (FB) with Aces Expansion Pack (AEP) installation. If you own PF, FB and AEP, I urge you to make a combined installation; it is so very worth it. No WW2 combat flight-simulator of this caliber covers this much ground, and the combined installation allows you to build what-if scenarios that were only thought possible, until now.

However, I have not made changes to the existing templates for FB+AEP, so you can use UQMG for FB+AEP+PF with FB+AEP. I have included visual queues ("[pf]") to indicate the planes and maps that are only available to PF. If you use a feature only available in PF, the mission will simply not load in FB+AEP.
