IL 2 Career Toolset

Type	Package
Toolset
Model

⚠️ This tool can only be used with the Game L-2 Sturmovik Great Battles. To get the game please go to the game website or steam.

This readme is still WIP I did want to get nightly build's up ASAP.

This tool will provide you different commands to perform on your save file. One of the major features is to revive a dead pilot by resetting the career to the day before death.

⚠️ Warning ⚠️

This tool will change, delete and move data in your save file around, which can corrupt it. This can lead to unwanted behaviors of the game or break the save completely, which will affect all other careers as well. Those errors could appear later on and may be invisible directly after usage.

⚠️ Since I do not play in multiplayer I have no clue if editing the database will cause any errors with the servers you play on. I would guess that this is not the case but I'm not able to confirm it just yet.

ℹ️ Command's which change your save file will present you a warning you need to confirm before the command will run.

To install the tool head over to the releases or use the latest release. Download the asset containing the tool, which is a zip file. As soon as the tool is downloaded unzip it to a folder on your computer.
