I particularly like the possibility of switching the gunsight reticle on and off, other than the rest of the details of course!

The latest Gurner FX and general updates available on the SAS Hangar are fantastic, they just need a bit of tinkering but they're sound!

Yea I got the Gurner FX pack yesterday but havent got round to trying it yet

Perhaps he can fix the Spit cockpit first, I mean its only being over a year and still nothing works in it correctly compared to the 109...

Time will tell

il2 46 cannot be compared with CoD. Look closely at il2 46 aircraft and objects. Yes, il2 46 looks fine on Youtube, but closer comparison reveals that il2 46 is a previous generation.

I've been with il2 since 2002 and it was the best. But time has moved on.

Well at least it works!

As nice as it looks, it will be useless unless every single flyable has a similarly developed cockpit.

How long will that take?

Or is this just animated control switches and not full real CEM/cockpit management?

Il-2 1946 (with mods) has a far more convincing air combat experience. I have yet to see a fighter or stuka badly hit grenade into "a million pieces" in CloD, for example. CloD has a long way to go before it surpasses '46. All these years and it still seems like I've only experienced a fraction of what it has to offer.

Thanks Sterjnaeger.

Out of frustration I popped into '46 4.11.1 last night on a mad dogfight server. Yes, its dated although those new graphics look good. Flight models felt a bit 'soft' but that may just be me. Enjoyed it for a manic half hour and wouldn't mind getting onto a more serious server again (SpitsVs109s was empty).

The gameplay is still there.

btw what is Histomod? I have an outdated UltraPack and the vanilla 4.11.1.

all you need to do is getting on sas1946.com and get to do a bit of reading, there are mod packages meant for online, offline etc...
there are continuous developments and upgrades, it's really really engaging!
They recently introduced 4000x4000 resolution skins for aircraft for instance, v good stuff indeed!

This looks pretty. No more green gun flashes.
