Noob needs help!
 

Hello fellow pilots, I have recently upgraded from il2 1946 to CoD. I have heard that it is quiet a buggy game without the patches, where can I get those patches?
Thank you in advance.

Oops, I meant quite instead if quiet!

you only need one patch, the current one:

drop it over a clean install.

Thanks, so its not like 1946 after all!

Thanks!

Steam does install all the official patchess for you.:!:

I ordered it off of amazon for $6.00 because like to have the disk. Don't you have to pay for steam?

Nope steam is free! You also have to have it to activate the game.

Wow! You done good!

As Senseispcc said, Steam will update automatically your Cliffs of Dover version once you register with them -- for free as mentioned. PStyle was referring to the latest beta patch that many (most) of us are currently evaluating. Here's an updated link:

Download this patch to your PC, then unzip it. Do NOT use Winzip -- it withholds some key files within the "parts" folder that's been zipped. Better to use Winrar (I use 7-Zip, it's free and works fine). Simply do a copy and paste of the new "parts" folder to replace your existing "parts" folder here:

C:/Program(86)/Steam/SteamApps/Common/IL2Sturmovik/parts

You can even extract directly to there, but best done only on a full moon.

After doing a few offline training/orientation missions to get yourself up to speed on the cockpit drill, join us on the ATAG Allies vs Axis Server which is currently running the beta version that PStyle mentioned. Make sure you have Teamspeak 3 (also free) installed -- we're a friendly bunch. :grin:

Clod runs through Steam whether or not you have a physical disk or d/led the game.

You need a Steam account to play both offline and online.
