It's been years, could use some advice.

Played IL-2 long ago, the only (combat) flight simulator that has ever held my interest..then I lost my disc. few years later now and I bought it on steam, I'm very impressed that by looking at these forums, the game is still going strong. and to this day I can't think of any game I'd rather fly in then here.

The question I have is one that I can't find easily elsewhere. What should I do with it now? I noticed that there is a patch out, But do I need any files aside from the patch to update it? I know some of the older games can be tricky that way.. Currently enjoying flying as a D3a1 pilot in dive bombing missions and my main interest is the single player campaign. so Multiplayer patches won't be the biggest deal to me, but if single player is expended in any way then i'd like to get into it..

thank you for anyone who takes the time to reply to this and I apologize if i don't sound clear or bad grammar...not slept recently
