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 .

I think Yes. I will play online sometime.
I only afraid that it will be looking like in the past: anybody will think that it is a matter of honour to shot me down....
Some time it was looking by this way in the past: All play around .... I enter a game and then they all see me in the air... then forget the enemy and try to shot down me... even I'm in the same team

Haha, perhaps it should be in the server rules:
1. Oleg is not always a top priority target, especially when he is on your team. Oleg should be considered in the same way as any other target.
2. No shoulder shooting.
3. No team-killing...
etc.

That happens when their favourite plane on the sim does not fly how they think it should!
Also, you should had choose server with noh icons, so nobody would had know which was you.

I remember on those days one of the coolest things about the original IL-2 was seeing for the first time while in a coop mission chat messages in cyrilic. Of course i couldn´t understand anything of the message, but i was flying russian and it was like "hey, i´m flying russian and you see russian messages!". It was incredible immersive!

My guys and me always fly only on standard released version. This is the principle with good output and response from users with respect to developers. Its my principle for a long time. And we will keep this principle in future.

Welcome back from your short leave!

Did the game convention go well for MG?

I was just joking. And it´s a good principle you have!.
Hope we all have the chance to see you and all your team back in the virtual air this year with BoB!

Its a shame when you get victimsed like that. But i tend to find that flying high, choosing you own battles and having a decent wingman helps an awful lot.(not that you probably need any advice) Thats the great thing about your game, tactics work and those that try too hard to get on your six can leave themselves open for a little drag`n`bag! Muhahahahahahahah. Looking forward to flying with you! S~
