Friday Update, Q&A - December 23, 2011

I remember the dizzying amount of patches there were after Pacific Fighters up until finally that other expansion came out. I keep forgetting the name of it and it's hard to find pics of it online. Then 1946 came out. Peshka or something like that.

Here they are. Old 2001 IL-2. It had 2 free patches during it's run.
Then the newer generation
Forgotten Battles 2003. The base game. I forget how many free patches there were but there were a lot.
Ace Expansion Pack. The first pay for patch
Pacific Fighters. A pay for patch and also stand alone game.
Pe-2 Peshka. A pay for patch
IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 2006 not shown. has all this content and much more

After Pacific Fighters came the "Complete Edition" and then the Pe-2 Peshka addon, Sturmoviks Over Manchuria, and finally 1946.

Correct me if im wrong but to me it seems that the expansions will be done in a way similar to ARMA...

in that you can play arma 2 OR arma OA either together or each separate...

with DLC available (BAF & PMC) that need the latest iteration of the arma which would be the OA...

this at least seems like a logical way of doing it...
CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG PLS....

If you start a new server, it is already there is an optional list: core.100 and bob.100. I think this section will be very similar to the arma launcher. But I am sure that will not be able to play the low res textured DLC for those who have not purchased. IMHO this is not possible, if there are variable areas and aircrafts.

My interpretation was that if you have played IL2 you know exactly how the series will be expanded apart from the fact that instead of a modding community that had fingers pointed at them for 'hacking' the game code there will be authorised mods via SDK's.

Or I could be totally wrong !

Well it all sounds splendid to me.

Happy new year!
