IL-2 Sturmovik was first released in November 2001. Coming up on 10 years ago...there was no Steam or fancy patch process available then. The game engine has evolved quite a bit and there's been a ton of content since 2001 but some of the core fundamentals remain firmly routed in 2001 technology.
So yes you have to patch manually. This was par for the course years ago... Now we sort of expect automatic updating and all that wonderful stuff that a service like Steam, or XBox Live, or PSN, etc. give us.
