I load 1946 every once and while, but I effectively switched to IL-2 BoX...
It's really improved 1946 with tons of new cool features.
The only lacking side is the quantity, but that kinda gets resolved with time... when 4th expansion Battle of Bodenplatte hits the shelves there will be quite considerable planeset (maps too ofc) present in game... for now game is nicely covered with planeset and maps at Eastern Front up to 1943.
