What is the most up to date IL-2 PC sim?
I take it that IL-2 Series is still the latest most popular and up to date MASSIVE WW2 online flight sim for the PC.
But which is it? what's its title so I can buy it, because I've given up on this frankly insulting attempt. This was nothing more than a slap to the face of the simmers. And I don't blame the Dev's too much, although they sold out pretty badly to the publishers. Allowing so many flaws and bugs to get through, as well as arcading up things to the max. e.g. gunners and bomb sites, as well as damage. Anyway anyone could go on forever about the holes and flaws of this awful but sadly best attempt the console will ever see. But I miss the days of 200 people all in the same arena. So yes, please, what is the most recent ww2 flight sim on PC please?

As of now the most up to date you can still find is IL-2 1946 (probably find it for $10 US). It's basically the game & all of it's expansions over the last 10 years all on one DVD. They just released a new patch for it with new maps & plane skins this month, look at the IL-2 forum on the 1C forums main list. The graphics are not as impressive as they were 10 years ago but with a good graphics card & AA & AF turned all the way up they still look pretty damn good. The gameplay is of course incredible from the flight and damage models to being able to create missions.
IL-2 Storm of war is suppiosed to be released next year (this is what has been said for the last 3 years). If it is ever released I think it's going to take a hell of a fancy rig to run it.

Thanks, I think I still have a copy of that from 2006 when it came out, sweet. I think I'll have to see if it will run on this laptop. Hope Its still got its CD-Key with it :S better search the boxes in the spare room. lol
It was brilliant from what I remember, but i'll take a hit in graphics for a game that actually works and wasn't coded by a special needs day outing. I appreciate the reply.

£6.44 from Play.com I'll check that out, I'm not a huge Helo fan, but I used to love the Comanche series, and I'd love to try one.

If you want IL-2 1946 to be even better, then check out this website; the biggest & best MOD site for everything 1946; new planes, maps, graphics, skins, servers. You won't be sorry; AND IT'S ALL FREE!!!! http://allaircraftarcade.com ...... has the lot, & then some!! also take a look at..... http://www.mission4today.com ........ great for skins http://specialaircraftservice.com ........ another great mods site. Check out their sea fury!!! I've been shot down more times on this forum than in-game for comparing this BoP to 1946. My opinion has never changed. If it's brave enough to hold the name "IL-2 Sturmovik" then it must be comparable to atleast the original PC release & it really is worlds apart. It's better that gamers that are lucky enough to have a half decent pc setup, experience what the community has done with 1946!!! Last edited by Houndstone Hawk; 10-30-2009 at 11:56 AM.
