S!

And it is relative how expensive hardware is, like a DVD-drive. If you get a basic one, it costs like very little..we are talking within tens of bucks at maximum. Shelling like 30USD on a drive is not much as people tend to spend it on more useless things without an blink of eye

Buying the game for a few bucks..comparable to above. You got to a bar and get a few drinks and beers = 1946 already bought

I recommend getting 1946 as it has them all in one neat package and if you enjoy offline, it still has it all for you without going to the "other world of modifying the game"

1. I still play the original 'IL-2 Sturmovik' (and I'm happy with it). 1946 has so much content, it's overwhelming!.
2. I don't have a DVD-drive (though I should get one).
3. My rig is underpowered.

Perhaps your PC specs will help us advise you further.

Original IL2 was ok with 16/32mb GPU & 1.5/1.8 CPU 512mb ram

Later versions required required more "grunt" in all areas.

IL2 1946 is around the min spec of 512 GPU 2.5 ghz CPU and 1gig ram

Please note the above is dependant on what settings you choose to use for graphics.

Just to be clear; I already ordered IL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles Gold Pack. I'm not buying 1946!.

My system is pretty old but it runs IL-2 Sturmovik okay. Also, old flight sims like Combat Flight Simulator 2 and Flanker 2.5.

You can get '1946' for $15.99, from "NWS Online Gaming Store", this is the same place where I'm getting the 'FB Gold Pack' from.

I bought RoF from Direct2Drive, it was flawless. On Steam the 1946 download was at 5 USD before new year, check that also.

Bye,

The game from NWS (IL-2 1946) is a physical copy (DVD) in the case. Same for 'Forgotten battles: Gold Pack', but it's on CD-Rom.

I don't play online.

1946 is a all in pack so the best and most complete il2 game you can find

You guys aren't helping...

If you don't play online then:

1.Run the game and during loading check version's number.

2.Go to this URL http://patches.ubi.com/il2_forgotten_battles/ and check if there is a newer version ( might be il2_fb_aep_v2.01.exe and il2_fb_aep_v2.04.exe )

3.Install new version if you have to.

4.A directory back is always good
