I had the the problem of installing the update and having the game not start. I removed the game totally and did a clean install of 1946 installed the update 408M then copied the file for the beta update and it still would not start. Not to give up I downloaded cnThor's DLL's and it works flawlessly. I tired editing some of the settings in the config.ini and it slowed my machine down quite a bit but what I saw made me want to go out and get a new video card and more ram. I have the water set to 2 and the landgeom=2 and my machine runs it fine. I really like the look of the new skins the prop spinners look much smoother and not so blocky. The cockpits look great along with the water shading being awesome. I flew around in Slovakia map area and it's well done.
Thanks again for your hard work and making sure this will run on an older slower machine

Great to hear your story Vanwhel! - I'm sure there are a lot of people like you out there. Not everybody else is as vocal as us forum regulars!

I think it is pure magic that you in far-off alaska, me in denmark and countless others have been able to enjoy this sim for quite a few years now. What a great ride it has been. Let's hope SoW will sell just as succesfully and that it will give us combat flight sim happiness for many more years!
