No HyperLobby! Post server IP's here!..?..

holy guacamole, I won't go into the details, but I'm just buying a new Computer, ordered it today, i7 12GB ram refurbished for 401 dollars. So, I went looking at proper head tracking software, and I hit a page where the top one is 400$ and the standard is 180$CND.

then I started looking at joysticks, yikes!! Thrustmaster 1599$, set of rudder pedals 278$ ect ect...

I am using a ten+ year old 30$ attack3 and a 10$ logiteck as my rudder/throttle, which is just as old, talk about losing a arms race......

and then there is the Computer you are playing on, if some one has a 1500$ control setup I can imagine the rest of the stuff is top of the line as well or working it's way there part by part.

Anyways, we learned that Win10 won't fit on a DVD as a ISO, Steam does not support XP (and maybe vista), and there is a middle between Il-2 and BoS called Cliffs of Dover.

Congrats on the new PC!

Note Cliffs of Dover has its own 1C forum below.

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/forumdisplay.php?f=189

And for what it's worth Metacritic users currently rate the CoD Blitz edition at 8.1, so it would seem it is improved over the original CoD (comparing to 1946 rated at 8.7 and BoS at 6.1). Hopefully BoS/Great Battles will improve on that over time too if 1C make the right choices.

For some reason BoS/Great Battles doesn't have a separate forum here. It does have its own separate site of course.

M4T has community download sections for all three main IL-2 versions. You can find them on the "Downloads Center" tab on the page below:

http://www.mission4today.com/index.php

Note the community downloads for Great Battles skins are quite active, but missions and campaigns are not so. Cliffs of Dover downloads are not active at all. The 1946 downloads for skins, missions, and campaigns are all still quite active for both stock and modded versions.

I noticed that it seems to have been abandoned, there is a Dedicated Site that no one has been to in over 5 years. Mission 4 Today Page shows that as well as you mention, there is like two campaigns and a few skins.

I see Team Fusion has taken up modding the game, and seems that they are making parallel modules as what I am seeing for BoS, The Med one featured prominently on the 1C page here.

That Game will run on XP if you can get it on your system, just turn the grass off, another thing we learned today.

I was just checking the specs and the Built in Video card on the mother board only has 1g of RAM, (but it can apparently run three monitors), my current video card, AMD HD5450 only has 1G. I was looking at new cards tonight, might as well go all in, another 300 with taxes for a 8g gddr5 or 150+/- for 2G. It's also a low profile Case so that narrows things down a bit.

I have two weeks (July 5) till the PC arrives, received a notice it was shipped today, so I may not even have to wait that long.

Cheers Jackson, maybe you'll come on line for this one, or are we gonna wait till il-2 2446, where it's a implant and the games plays out in your mind.

My system is Windows 10, and was built specifically to BoS spec in the hope that BoS or another sim will grow to be a worthy (yet affordable) successor to 1946 in my eyes. But as someone who enjoys the ability to freely build my own missions and download others in a variety of theatres, I'm personally still committed to 1946 for now, and I appreciate the Daidalos Team's continuing efforts to expand it.

I'm interested to see how your new IL-2 journey goes though!

As for going online, I had planned to, but haven't. Maybe in 2446 when I'm resurrected by the Elf Queen.
