No Il-2 product was ever backwards-compatible. You could not take a Pacific Fighters patch and apply it to an Ace Expansion Pack install. You cannot take graphic improvements in 4.12 and install them on top of the original Il-2.

The new line will work the same way. If you own the old product, you'll be able to install a new one on top of it; or you'll be able to get a compilation product like 1946 that includes old content from previous releases.

But once the sequel is released, there obviously won't be any more support for stand-alone CoD.

Smeeling like FM Discussion flies in again Luftwhiners vs Sissyfiremen Vol. II.
Keep it comin, Popcorn ready!

Maybe someone could leave a word on working Anti-Aliasing with the new or the updated grafic engine. Was AA adressed to this update or planned for another one, or maybe not planned at all?

Being target practice isn't.

Oh I know the ATAG blue bombers would love to join in on the formations!

They can't currently because of launcher crashes when flying close. Also, there is a new rotating mission on ATAG with armada of AI bombers, and shooting them down actually contributes to team score!

Thank you!
And have a good weekend.

Very nice update gents! Thank you for that!

One question though: Will the new beta contain an updated version of the sound engine? Like in one of your ground vehicle videos, where you can clearly hear better sounds for the Ju-87 e.g.

Would be really nice to have that included as well.

I just love the new sounds since the last patch! I would really like to hear loud formations of bombers... ( He-111, Blenheim etc are pretty quiet at the moment)

In some quick missions there are problems such as enemy aircraft refusing to engage and flying off on the straight path home. This is not quite the same as AI efficiency, but more a refusal to trigger into combat AI. Has this been fixed for offline fliers?
