Original IL2 (2001)

[Blackjack]

I would suspect a missing/broken patch file, also check that you extracted the patches in the right order, there where many smaller patches , but I would try to find the 1.1 complete one (it upgrades all prior versions to 1.1) then apply 1.2

There may be still valid reasons to play the old IL2 occasionally, and it had widescreensupport for speedbar and editor
