Forgotten Battles Gold Pack

[F4U Corsair]

Hello, what patches will I need for 'IL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles Gold Pack'?. http://www.ubi.com/us/games/info.aspx?pid=128

Will I need to patch both 'FB' and the 'Ace expansion pack'?, or are they already the latest version?.

You need IL2 1946 >> http://www.ubi.com/US/Games/Info.aspx?pId=5163


Then these patches.

I didn't purchase '1946', nor am I going to.

Then you will have a hard time to find a online server for your version as it is obsolete.

Hi, there's several reasons why I didn't get '1946'...

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.

Ahhh .. OK mate, but for the DVD thing, you can download the game from Steam or Ubi online shop. no need for a DVD. As far as the undepowered PC, with lower settings (just a bit lower on terrain and lighting ...) 1946 is working nicely on my 3rd PC, which is 5 or 6 years old, and not so powerful ... not to bother you, but really 1946 is 10x more fun, more planes, more maps ...

Bye,

I realize that I can can get it for cheap. At Direct2Drive you can buy '1946' for $10.00 (digital download).

1. You should try to copy the Il-2 hand made campaigns over to FB/whatever you have
2. You could buy one (check eBay for cheap used ones that still work, I'm still using a 2001 Pioneer DVD-106S drive), or get that download copy
3. 1946 doesn't need more hardware than FB 1.0. Eventually you might consider buying a new rig.

As far as I remember AEP needs to be patched first to 2.01 and then 2.04. It doesn't hurt if you do so, even if it's not needed.
