What is the most up to date IL-2 PC sim?

[reverend66]

As of now the most up to date you can still find is IL-2 1946 (probably find it for $10 US). It's basically the game & all of it's expansions over the last 10 years all on one DVD. They just released a new patch for it with new maps & plane skins this month, look at the IL-2 forum on the 1C forums main list. The graphics are not as impressive as they were 10 years ago but with a good graphics card & AA & AF turned all the way up they still look pretty damn good. The gameplay is of course incredible from the flight and damage models to being able to create missions.
IL-2 Storm of war is suppiosed to be released next year (this is what has been said for the last 3 years). If it is ever released I think it's going to take a hell of a fancy rig to run it.

Thanks, I think I still have a copy of that from 2006 when it came out, sweet. I think I'll have to see if it will run on this laptop. Hope Its still got its CD-Key with it :S better search the boxes in the spare room. lol

It was brilliant from what I remember, but i'll take a hit in graphics for a game that actually works and wasn't coded by a special needs day outing.

I appreciate the reply.

wow, I had no idea IL2 1946 could be got so cheaply now. Ive ordered a copy too, nothing to lose if it doesn't work on my PC. Don't worry though my BoP friends, I will still play BoP just as much.
