[AaronEdmondson84]

I am new to combat flight simulators and just bought Pacific fighters. through research it looks like IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 is the newest game out.

I want to buy the newest game that Everyone is playing so any questions I have or tips and stuff is all related to the same game.
Also I was wondering if there is anyway to make the graphics better? like I said I have pacific fighters so mabee buying a newer version game would help me out first then updates or patches or what ever info would help thanks

You've not really posted this in the right thread, Aeron, but you're right, '46 is the latest version. If you buy it on DVD (usually least troublesome), you will need to ptatch it from 4.07 to 4.08 then 4.09m - see Bearcat's 'Nugget's Guide' here for info on this, and lots else: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...3/m/9121094645
The 4.10 patch, which is what this thread is about, is coming out soonish, and looks like being a major upgrade. As for graphics, to a large extent this depends on the PC and Graphics card you use - there is info on this in Bearcat's guide too.

If you want further help, start a thread yourself, either here on on the Ubisoft forums - there are plenty of people willing to help a noob out.

@oleg. just reading earlier that you havent shot ani Ai or humans down .. and got me thinking . Are we likely to see you and the flying circus(crazy ivan and gang) back up in the air when you release BOB? I never got to fly against/with you in il2 ( joined the community in Pacific fighters days). I fancy a good old dogfight with you guys, to test yer skills and all .

Hi Oleg, hi folks here: that´s my first post here even though I´m following the development of SoW since a long time......thks to NausiKa.com who made a good publicity of the project at SoH.
My question, after being really amazed by the features showed, is the simplest possible: is there a chance in SoW to take whatever airplane of whatever side and taking off from whatever airfield without having to create a mission?
So easy like this and fully enjoying the quality of this superb sim when not having all that time sometimes.......
Thks a lot once more, Oleg, and greetings from Italy!
My best regards,
Gianluca

I'm sure that you will be able to do that...you can do it right now in IL2 using the FMB

i think he means something like how in FSX u can just type in the callsign/name of the airfield u wanna take off from and take off from it... pretty much anywhere...

Brilliant update!
Maybe you should always do them on a Monday
That said, Abbeville-Boy asks a rather interesting question, so have you shot anyone (human) down yet in SOW?

Just planes and some cars. No human or AI animals was killed by me.

The lighting effects in these shots are just gorgeous! All these shots are photo-like.
