IL-2 Sturmovik 1946...will anyone keep playing

[Qpassa]

Try to speak with Jiri to be banned, but if you are unbanned you should think in the reasons, also you should think about many people(which I include me) have you in their ignore list

Whatever the MP method I just hope it isn't the can of worms that WOP uses and killed on-line MP. Dreadful and frustrating! I quite like HL and cannnot fault it.

So, just a server browser - and the master server is?

Bingo, HL.

And?? HL has worked fine the last years, and is a great tool to see which servers are available. Those nut jobs that have been removed from there must have deserved it, as no one is removed from there without a reason.
Those so against HL do you really think any servers would be found with out a tool like this? If you enjoy empty servers because the servers can not be found, then you are right HL is a bummer as it helps you find servers.
The discusion is just as silly as talking about using windows or not.....

Yes indeed, a server which solely provides a list of other servers, I'm sure Steam doesn't have one of those...

It's not a discussion about wanting or not wanting HL as such, it's just that some seem to think that without it the sim's multiplayer function will die, which is just rubbish. I use HL and it's great, and I'm glad it exists, but the only reason it's necessary is because the original sim was lacking in a decent lobby function.

Most likely not, already now I am mainly playing newer sims. I will keep Il-2:46 for the Pacific theater on my HD, at least until the Korea sim comes out, just like I kept CFS2 installed after the original Il-2 was released. However back then I couldn't go back since Il-2 was superior on almost every aspect, despite the huge amount of planes and theaters in CFS2. I expect the same effect after CoD.

[JG52Uther]

I don't care at all for the pacific theatre,but will still fly il2 for a while,at least until an online war turns up for the new title.
If we can get a flyable Do17 for the BoB I think I will spend all my time there.
And,I would be quite happy if il2:CoD was on HL!

[BigC208]

Il2 with the latest updates, still looks pretty good. It will probably be another 5 years before CoD covers all the content Il2 has right now. Rise of Flight allready looks quite a bit nicer and more detailed than Il2 but Il2 is still enjoyable. I just ordered a new system for RoF,CoD and DCS A10. Il2 will be on there for the foreseeable future.
