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).

Seems like that is the ticket

You get everything plus all of the latest graphical features and so forth... for 10 bucks! (I'm starting to sound like a salesman)

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.

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"

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.
