Hi all
i guess this could be my swan song for now,after spending several days trying to master the intracasies of CoD without any real success,ie. neither controller will set up fully nor hold the settings I manage to install,and none of the actions seem to work as they should ,I have decided to give it up for now,allowing for the fact that both I and my PC are somewhat older(relatively speaking) model,hence my Nick(oldtimer)the above is not too suprising,though I do run several other sims,FSX,FS,Winngs of Prey,and train and racing sims with some modicum of success .
Anyway I am considering getting IL46 in the hope that it has some of the good qualitiea ot the IL games with less of the confusing,(to me) bells and whistles .
Any comments on the above ramblings would be welcome .I will keep CoD within reach in case a new patch or a PC update(Xms:grin:)change the situation?
'Bye for now

Your system does look as though it could struggle with CloD and falls short of the recommended system specs but, if you are running WOP, then I see no reason why IL1946 shouldn't work reasonably well.

I cut my teeth on IL1946, for what it costs to purchase its well worth it. Unfortunately, you will still need to optimise it to suit your system and get all the update patches to bring it up to version 4.11 (from 4.07). I suggest you visit the IL1946 forum where you can get all the info and links regards optimising and updating.

Does CloD run other than for the problems you mention with assigning axis and buttons?

Hi
Thanks for the reply,Wop was also a bit of a struggle,the yoke wouldn't handle it ,just the JS,I agree that at the price IL46 is worth a try.CoD planes fly smoothly some of the time,but the rest did some pretty wierd things,colours, and never knowing what yoke input would do what ,if anything.
I don't mind fiddling around and having to wait for a long drawn out download as long as it runs half decently when installed,and I thought IL46 should run on my PC pretty well So Wish me luck.

hi again
I have it and eventually got it downloaded but ,when I clicked on the "install" button it just closed and a search doesn't bring anything up.But it is in download file but if I click on that it goes to the Downloaded/install box which just does the same again!Any ideas?

I had the the DVD version but may be similar on DL purchases, I had to open the DVD and run a file named a. and not the auto run install files which seem to be the obvious choice. It then installed but it looks as though it hangs half way through the installation - just be patient and after a while it springs to life and viola - its installed.

is the file name just a:?

Actually it's "a.exe" but you might not see the ".exe"-part if you turned off the visibility of "known file extensions".

One more important thing: Under Vista do not install IL-2 within the "C:\Programs"-folder. Install it in "C:\Games\IL-2" or "C:\IL-2" or on another drive. Vista and Win7 do some weird shadowing stuff within "C:\Programs" IL-2 (being from 2001) was naturally not prepared for.

Good luck,

As See wrote, "Install" might not work (WinXp, WinVista, Win7). Look for an executable file named "a.exe" (or just "a" if hiding of "known file extensions" is on) in what you downloaded...

And: Run the a.exe "as Administrator"...

Hi all
thanks for all your attempts to help with
il-2 installation,but I think I'm going to have to give it up,either because of a glitch in my PC or my lack of PC savvy,I have tried to follow your tips but i can't find the files suggested, just IL-2.exe ..... which the read me says has been changed for Vista,but whatever I try I always end up at same "install" page, and I can't even get it to re-install to try again.i found CoD unusable,possibly for the same reasons,Thanks anyway.

I think you would be better posting this problem in the 1c Publishing IL2-Sturmovik forum as someone there may have a solution for the download version. State your system specs and describe/name all exe files that you have in your download. Hopefully someone will be able to help you get it installed, IL1946 still has a huge fanbase. All the best.
