Drives me crazy. I'm hoping patching will help.
Thanks.

I agree with robotek, buy IL2 1946 as that is what all online gamers are using (it includes ALL the IL2 games and add ons released - Forgotten battles, Aces expansion, Pacific Fighters, PE-2, Sturmoviks over Manchuria, 1946). Find it in some bagain bin out there for less than 10$ and apply patch 4.08m and then 4.09m.
Otherwise there is a long and dwindling route for patching the original that no one uses anymore so no multiplayer servers will be available. Multiplayer is the best part of IL2 according to many of us, and there are MANY online servers running 4.08m, 4.09m in different difficultly settings available if you download the free netgame helper application Hyperlobby (find some tutorial for setting it up - the important thing is to select the game "IL2 Forgotten Battles", even though you have 1946!). There are also many that are content with the offline setting, and many missions and campaigns have been produced during the years for that gang.
Good luck! /Mazex
