So... fill me in on this

[Alky]

I know very little about IL2 Sturmovik other than I bought the Gold Edition and the Pacific fighters quite some time ago. I never really played them, I don't remember why.

I don't know anything about Cliffs of Dover and even less of Battle of Stalingrad.

So where do I stand, do I need my gold edition and Pacific Fighters as a base, or is BOS a stand-alone product? Will I need Cliffs of Dover?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanx!

BoS will be a standalone game. You won't need any other game as a basis to play it.

The developers are known for "Rise of Flight", a very good WW1 Sim.

An outstanding overview, about what we know so far, provides the following thread:

If you have a boot floppy that you used for Aces of the Pacific, hold on to it as it will come in handy.

Plus have a look for any Red baron 3 save games you might still have, to get a head start on the campaign.

Jokes aside, Matze81 is the man to listen to.

IL2 Battle of Stalingrad is a completely new game by a merged 1C and 777 Studios team.

Cliffs of Dover was a completely separate game made by 1C studios. Official support for it has ended.

 

RoF stands for Rise of Flight. This is a great WW1 flight me produced by 777S.

If you want to give IL2 a go see the Nugget's Guide link in my sigand try to get IL2 1946.

Thanx for the speedy replies guys.

I'm a player of RoF and it is a beautifully done game, if the same quality goes into BOS, it will be an awesome game. I did see a short clip of two BF109's and they were incredible.

I'm an old Air Warrior, Warbirds and Aces High player and am very interested in this project. I don't have a Red Baron game although back in the late 80's there was a single player Red Baron game that I had, maybe it had multiplayer, I don't know, I didn't explore that option at the time. 

Well, I guess I've arrived at the right place to keep abreast of any updates. 

Thank you all!

I just had a look at the Nugget's Guide. That's amazing!!  I saved that page and will be referencing it when I re-install IL2
