Here's a cumulative patch from the freeware BoB Developers Group (BDG) that will update any previous English-language version of
Note1: this update will bring *any* previous version up to 2.10. You do not need any previous patches at all.
Note2: You will need the latest DirectX to run 2.10.
You will get a missing .dll error if you do not. When you run the 2.10 self-installer it will point you to the Microsoft DirectX update page. Update to DirectX9.0c (June version). Unfortunately, there are multiple versions of 9.0c so if in any doubt, update.
Note3:
The MultiSkin patch should go ON TOP OF Battle of Britain 2: Wings of Victory v2.10 Patch (English) OR Battle of Britain 2: Wings of Victory v2.10 Patch (International)
You should have a 256M gfx card to be sure to run without issues.
Note4: How to back up your existing settings from earlier BoBII updates.
Buddye's installation guide HERE->
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19368B
Back up your Bdg.txt and \savegame, \2dGauge, and \keyboard folders (these folders contain all your settings and joystick buttons)
Note5: If you have a low end system and experience a crash once into 3D, go to your bdg.txt file and set LANDSCAPE_TEXTURE_SIZE = 1024 (the default is 2048). This will reduce the landscape texture resolution by a factor of 4 and should help users with low system memory.
Note6: Windows Vista users. All Vista users will need to apply the 'Vista fix' to your desktop shortcut as a 2.10 overwrites previous shortcuts.
Right click on shortcut and go to properties. Go to the compatibility tab. Check "disable desktop composition" and check the privilege level, run this program as an administrator.
What's included?
Quite a lot :) We have five workstreams here that come together in one of our biggest ever updates.
And a superb video of main features. Well worth a good watch.
Thank you, Heinkill. HERE->

Known Issues:
1- When selecting the Blenheim in the 'End of Defiant' Historical Instant Action Mission (you can add it in place of the Defiant), you *must* select an RAF or Luftwaffe fighter after making the change to enable the Blenheim. If you do not, you will get a crash.
2- Sorry, the Tiger Moth didn't make it as a flyable aircraft, it's static only. We plan a version that allows this, but disable the campaign game.
3- Me110- The player's head position is low (it has always been this way). If you want to raise it, try setting EyePosYOffset to 2500 in the modelsBf110C4.ACD file. You will then need to aim through the top of the projected reticule, or use Aces mod. We hope to raise the gunsight at some point.
4- Some objects are lighting badly in low light conditions.
5- Spitfire flap selector animation timing is delayed when selecting 'flaps up'.
