Ok Read word for word and you shouldent have a problem. "I included the files in a arcive"
Also Make Sure you have the latest java runtime installed before you try any of the commands.
1. To begin we need to find the il2fb.exe "russian" unpatched. Make a copy and Rename il2fb.exe too classdumper.exe
Now run classdumper patcher and apply the patch to classdumper.exe.
NOTE "Make sure this it all done in the main folder of the game"
2.When your Ready to do a classdump make sure of this.
"Russian Users"
"If you want to classdump russian classfiles make sure you run the game with the "russian" files.sfs and a patched il2fb.exe "russian"
"International"
If you want to dump english or internatial then use il2fb.exe "russian" patched with wrapper and the english or internatial files.sfs"
3. Before you dump make sure you have a folder called "files" in the root of your game. Make sure it's empty, run the .exe and the game will should crash at 95% or it wont display any thing at all. This is good. Let it sit for about 30 seconds, do it a fewtimes. Check you files folder for 5102 files.
After that move every thing to a folder and call it what ever you want. Download the attachment and extract. Install java if not allready done.
Run CMD and type command "java -jar classresolver.jar ." < make sure you have the DOT
After that it will create a new folder. Inside that folder it will contain all the classfiles.
4. "Editing"
Use the program called javabite in the attachment.
I leave the rest upto you.
5. "For repacking only"
If you want to repack a classfile put it in a folder with a cmd shortcut and classresolver.
Type command "java -jar classresolver.jar
There is the attachment if you need it.

You may already understand that the SFS Wizard won't open all files and some of them looking like ABC132A453. This little too will help to open some closed plane meshes, for planes like macchi, bf109Z, B25, etc...
It works like a standalone mod (newwrapper!!!), after instaling it in the 'Mods' folder, It's highly recommended to deactivate all others mods, you need start simple editor, select plane which you need and press fly, after little flying exit from the game. Then open the IL-2 folder and you'll find a file named dump.txt. In this file you may find paths for cockpit details for needed plane, copy paste these paths into your filelist.txt which is located in the SFS wizards folder. After this try again and you'll find the needed plane from SFSwizard.
