I've been reading the forums before I purchase to see what I needed.

I'm running an i5-2400 Quadcore 3.1ghz, Radeon HD 6850 1gb and 4 GB RAM on Win 7 64 with a 40" Samsung @1920x1080.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this game (have only played a demo of original on PS3) and wondering if I'm missing anything.

I'm also looking to install a mod (very familiar with installing Empire and Napoleon Total War mods), sounds like HSFX 6 is the best?

Thanks in advance for advice

P.S let me add that I'm primarily an offline player for the near future if that matters for version and mod
Welcome to the addiction!

The system sounds more than enough, the 360 controller might be alright but if you get into this you'll definitely want to think about a more full featured flight stick.

HSFX is the most popular one I see around. I actually just fly stock but many people like the MOD packs and HSFX does seem to be the best option these days. So you're pretty much on the way.

One thing, just so you're not surprised or disappointed, but the IL-2: Birds of Prey demo you played on PS3 is only very loosely related to the IL-2 1946 series on PC. The original IL-2 for PC was released in 2001 and has been upgraded through retail and both official and unofficial releases since that time. On PC there are MANY more aircraft, a much greater variety of things that you can do, and single player isn't as pretty but it's expansive. Birds of Prey has better graphics going for it for sure but the depth to it isn't there like it is for IL-2 1946 on PC.

Just don't want you to be shocked. They aren't the same game.
