Is IL2 1946 still alive?

Hi all, im new here.

I recently bought IL2 Cliffs of Dover since my upgraded computer, hoping this new release would work ok, but like most of you I cant get the game to work decently (crashes, black screen, freezes, sometimes works sometims doesnt, my god! I cant even see the name of locations in the game map).

Any way, I kow I have a good enough computer to run this game, but for now im gonna wait some time, maybe a year or two untill this game is playable. It didnt hurt me to pay money for an unfinished piece of software, I see it as a donation for the hours of fun I had with IL2 1946.

Now, going back to my question, when I bought IL2 COD I inocently disposed to the trashbin my old IL2 1946, the dvd was scratch in anyway and I remebered I had a hard time last time I trie to install it hehehe. I've been looking in ebay and a new copy cost very cheap.

Is IL2 1946 still alive? is there still people playing it? are dedicated servers updatign their maps; last time I play it I remember there was no chages whatsoever to the maps, always same old maps and got kind of boring.

I seriously miss flying WW2 planes, and as an unconditional fan of IL2 series would like to go back to the skies.

A lot of squadrons are still flying IL-2 1946 and we're just 1 of the many.

Hey Moggy!, I look at your link, was that picture taken from BOB Memorial between Dover and Folkstone?, I live only few miles from it and looks very familiar.

Yes that's right, the picture was taken at Capel le Ferne but I can't remember which TP'er took the picture...pretty sure it was Prangster or Malc.
The Tangmere Pilots comprises 4 Hurricane squadrons (1, 43, 145 & 601) which were stationed at Tangmere at the start of the Battle of Britain on 10th July 1940. Co-incidentally our last meetup a few weeks ago was held at the fantastic Tangmere museum.

For me Il2 1946 died when I purchased Clodo. But after two weeks trying to play Cliffs of Dover, IL2 resurrected stronger than ever.

Never before in the history of the sims had a new simulator made everybody loved their older sims (contrary to what usually happens: new games make old ones seem old-fashioned and obsolete). Long live IL2 1946

Yes, is still alive and always very active. As MP for example somedays, mainly at week-ends you find in Hyperlobby 250 to 300 players. And there are some good Servers, specially for me the UK servers with a nice combination of historical missions at differents theater of operations. Sometimes a good COOP mission is also available. Also the good old IL-2 is always active but few players there, the servers is Russian based and good time to go there is allround of 18.00 zulu or early. The new Ultrapack , I think is 3.01 was also available the last week.
