Is IL2 1946 still alive?

[barako]

Hi all, im new here.

I recently bought IL2 Cliffs of Dover since my upgraded computer, hoping this new release would work ok, but like most of you I cant get the game to work decently (crashes, black screen, freezes, sometimes works sometims doesnt, my god! I cant even see the name of locations in the game map).

Any way, I kow I have a good enough computer to run this game, but for now im gonna wait some time, maybe a year or two untill this game is playable. It didnt hurt me to pay money for an unfinished piece of software, I see it as a donation for the hours of fun I had with IL2 1946.

Now, going back to my question, when I bought IL2 COD I inocently disposed to the trashbin my old IL2 1946, the dvd was scratch in anyway and I remebered I had a hard time last time I trie to install it hehehe. I've been looking in ebay and a new copy cost very cheap.

Is IL2 1946 still alive? is there still people playing it? are dedicated servers updatign their maps; last time I play it I remember there was no chages whatsoever to the maps, always same old maps and got kind of boring.

I seriously miss flying WW2 planes, and as an unconditional fan of IL2 series would like to go back to the skies.

Yes, is still alive and always very active. As MP for example somedays, mainly at week-ends you find in Hyperlobby 250 to 300 players. And there are some good Servers, specially for me the UK servers with a nice combination of historical missions at differents theater of operations. Sometimes a good COOP mission is also available. Also the good old IL-2 is always active but few players there, the servers is Russian based and good time to go there is allround of 18.00 zulu or early. The new Ultrapack , I think is 3.01 was also available the last week.

A lot of squadrons are still flying IL-2 1946 and we're just 1 of the many.

That was patched a while back already. What patch revision of the game are you running?

[Danelov]

As example, now is Monday 12.56 zulu and you have there 143 players with IL-2 1946 and other 24 in the chat.

Very much alive. Far more alive than online Cliffs of Dover currently!

I understand what you mean about the maps, but unless we're prepared to do them ourselves, we really shouldn't criticize!

Personally I'd love to see the version 4.10 soloman islands map being used more, also the slovakia maps.

We do seem to still have many of the original IL2 or FB/Pacific Fighters maps in use when there are far better quality ones available, but like I said, unless we're prepared..........
