time to get a 64Bit machine and move up to BoS or a new version of Il-2 if you want to play against people.
I hope one day someone develops a engine that will run at modern graphics settings with photo realistic maps, but be able to import and use the content from il-2 1946. Those skins would look odd in a Picture Quality Screen, but you would get used too it. There is a lot of Content in the Game, and a lot that has been added by Players and Fans.

Hyperlobby seems to be back up.
Some of us can't move on! There's nothing more recent covering the Pacific or Mediterranean stuff. (Which is what I like) And even if there was, it'd just be ruined cause they'd immediatly put fw-190s in them, just cause. IMHO, the problem with the lack of online players is not just the players themselves, but lack of mission builders also plays a part. No one wants to play the same mission over and over again. Or... do they?
1946's fatal flaw is that its a flight simulator in which almost none of the players enjoy flying the planes! Everyone just wants to spawn in, 30 seconds later start shooting, and 45 seconds after that hit re-fly, and repeat. This forces me as a mission builder to always build the same type of mission if I want people to fly. Its got to be geard for what I call maximum points/minute flying.
I'd love to build recon missions, antisubmarine missions, supply runs (with the C47 family of planes if they ever come out), spy insertions, medivacs, (seriously the U2 can do many types of missions), SAR, etc. But I won't, it'd just be a waste of time.
