This sim is actually from 2001 .... Forgotten Battles came out in 2002 and it was an expansion with expanded code for the original IL2 . IL2 1946 has everything from Forgotten Battles on in one DVD. Over the years there have been loads of patches ... all free.. The sim was cracked and modded but that's another story. STOCK the sim is still fantastic!! It is a great sim still and well worth the almost 10 years and hundreds of dollars I have spent over the pats decade on PC upgrades..

Welcome aboard....

wow after playing this game its very realistic and challenging. with all the realism options turned on i can barely make it through a mission without getting killed, just like WWII i suppose

here is my favorite landing so far. missed it by that much.


and there is nothing more fun than doing a hard turn in an ME163 and having the plywood wing snap off.

Hi and welcome, kpii!

From your picture (funny one!) I see, that you don't run the game on the highest grafic settings.
Just in case: what are your computer specs? Maybe we can help to increase your fun wit hthe game.

any help to increase the graphics would be good! what is an example screenshot that shows the top end capability of the graphics on a high end machine?

I was refering mostly to the way, the water looks on your screenshot. I suppose you are running the game in DirectX mode instead of OpenGL (which is recommended), you can have water look much more 3D and realistic:

Pics of the modded game may lead to wrong expectations, as long as he flies the stock game.
