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!

Got a quick question. I'd like to give you guys a quick spec on my ye olde PC and see if you can tell me if it's robust enough to run 1946 with some of the shiny mods available.

I've got a 3.2 Pentium 4, 256 Ati radeon X600, and 2 gigs of RAM.

Thanks.

Might be enough to run the game with maxed out settings, but the new maps included with the 4.09m patch and some of the more graphics intensive mods would probably cause framerate drops unless you turned down the settings.

Also, since Il2 runs best in Open GL , and Ati graphics cards do not support Open GL, the top tier of terrain graphics settings will be locked because these are not supported if the game is running on Direct X.

Hope that helps.

That machine should run the game fine if not at the highest settings. Also ATI cards do support open GL. I'm running an HD4850 and 1946 in open GL with the terrain set to "Perfect" looks great.

1 thing bop has done through this forum
introduce people to 1946 so its smiles for everyone anyway

Some questions here:

1. When I fly the Bf-109's, the position were he's sitting seems wrong... Like the aiming reticle is too far to the right. How can I fix this?
2. When flying the B-25, how do I get into the bombing mode. I no on the Pe bombers I press "C", but that doesn't work for the B-25...
3. How do you use the map fricken impossible to read the damn thing... haha.
4. In the conrtols, it says press F2 for external view, F4 for fly-by view, etc. These do not work. How come?

Anyone have a PC they wanna give me capable of running 1946? I hope not everyone ditches BoP.

I'm not leaving, gaurenteed. 1946 is reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hard. lol, almost too hard for my liking, but I just think it will take some getting used to.
