R.I.P IL-2 1946. Was a glorious age!

Not so sure on the RIP il2 ,you can fly online wars on there and for a sim that is 10 years older and with the mods not really a huge amount of improvement on CLOD,well not 10 years worth.
Ok some visuals are better but not 10 years worth of better,oh and il2 is playable on older PC's for those of us who won't or can't upgrade for 1 game.

1946 is not from 10 years ago ! And the mods even less.

Interesting thread. I'm learning lots!

Dynamic clouds and working windsocks.



Lots of details. We lost so much time searching the tons of bugs that we miss these cool features! LOL!

This was Il-2 ten years ago:







The FM/DM was a bit wonky too:

I'm wondering how many rounds I have left. As I pull up at 15 meters I feel a couple of impacts and my plane lurches right. I'm still climbing but now fighting to trim the plane. I glance to my right and see the missing wingtip. My rudder also has some damage but its minor. So much for the fighting on this day, we're heading home.

nice video. How does it run on your system? FPS take a major hit? What part of the system would be the bottleneck for these clouds, in your opinion?

With medium clouds, the sim runs OK if you aren't looking to a lot of clouds. The bottleneck i believe it's the not so much optimized smoke/clouds...
