And now, a show stopper, for me anyway...

My On line experience is primarily on the ATAG server. Exe crashes for me are generally predictable. I monitor RAM usage via G15 LCD display. As memory usage approaches 80% I get a slight chopp in sound followed by the crash at 83% used.

The rate of memory usage I have observed varies directly with the number of players on line. I have gone over 1.5 hours with just 4 players on line. I have gone just 15mins with 20+ players on line. The more humans flying the quicker the RAM gets used up.

Win7 (64Bit)
6Gb RAM
GTx580

Why don't you decide for yourself???

- It runs smooth only with the "right" H/W and OS
- It has still issues in some key areas: FM, AI, stability, various serious bugs in CEM of some planes, still some graphical issues
- Many players cannot run it decently, or at all, due probably either to insufficient video Ram, unsupported video card, or old OS (Vista or XP are handicapped)
- once you have it running, it is graphically beautiful. More than beautiful, stunning and immersive.

I have been unable to do anything but chuckle and quickly turn off IL2/46 since I got CLOD to a playable state on my machine.

Even with all it's current faults, it's the best of it's genre.

IL2 now really looks and feels as old and outdated as it is.
