I've owned IL-2 1946 since November 2008. I don't play it much now because the picture is distorted because of my monitor.

Honestly, play 1946 if you want realism. If you want fun, play BoP.

beg to differ sir, I have had TONS of fun with IL2 for PC. And VERY limited amounts of fun in BoP on PS3

Maybe realism is fun for you. For me, usually I just don't want to worry about setting the right fuel mixture, prop. pitch, radiator settings.

I also don't want to spend an hour flying to a target just so that I can drop my load of 2 bombs and then spend another hour flying back to base... It's authentic, but boring.

yeah. I can see all over this forum how fun it is!

You don't HAVE to do any of those things in 1946 if you dont want to. All of those options are there if you want them, but you can turn them off or speed up time if you like. Please dont trash an extremely well made game in defense of this one. None of the points you tried to make are valid.

And for those that are still playing 1946 make sure you check out all the mods that have been made available, you can find them here;

They have very strict rules in order to prevent any unrealistic A/C or weapons. There is a Korean conflict that has made the Sabre and Mig 15 available and are currently developing a WW1 mod not to mention the insane amount added to the WW2 aspect.

Cheers!

True. But, it's seriously still boring for me. And yes, I do usually enjoy games even if they don't have very fancy graphics...

And I'm not trashing the game. I didn't say 'lol il-2 sucks its sooo boring'. I said I thought it could be boring sometimes, and I said why. I also mentioned that it can be really realistic, which can be a pain, and I'm aware that there are options to turn some of those things off. Also, if you have all the realistic settings turned off, it's basically BoP with a lot more content (planes that you will never actually use as well). (in defense of BoP) But as it has been pointed out countless times, BoP is for consoles and their lies a major problem in why it isn't nearly as perfect as the IL-2 series is for PC.

Maybe I'm just not in the mood to play the game seriously right now. After all, it's a game. But hey, maybe I'll enjoy it in the future.

It's all good, I didn't mean it in a "pricky" kind of way, I just dont want people afraid to give it a whirl. Believe me, I'd love to just turn on my 360 and jump into the cockpit of my fav bird, but there are just too many things missing for me at the moment. I check this forum daily in hopes of seeing an update or cockpit DLC.

Hope it happens soon-

Cheers!
