We’re on a break until there’s a Zero to fly.

My problem is I got too many usb devices. Old IL 2 cannot handle it. That is why I do not fly it. But I do miss it

The co-op has become the nigh-on perfect role-play sim for sad wannabes like myself (and my brother). ? I started as a beta-tester on Oleg's original masterpiece and have been at it ever since (with breaks). How many momentous milestones, culminating most recently with the miracle of VR.

The original Il2 and all its mod updates is still more satisfying to play than the new stuff, even though the new stuff looks amazing.

 

If someone ever gave 1946 a graphics makeover and VR, I'd be in combat sim heaven!

 

 

But yeah, 1946 is still my favorite in the IL2 series so far

I get your joke and raise it to light chain status.

I like Il2 GB because it’s new for me.

 I jumped into flight Sims just one year ago…

I wasted too much time with playing console games like Battlefield ?

Il2 is a new nice Home for me and I regret not started earlier. I have to catch up a lot of experience, so many planes already there and it’s a great Challenge understand all… I will busy with that task long time and I am happy about it ?

I am a bit sad about missed the great times of CloD and the more challenging operation in the Cockpits.

But for now I can’t wait new content like BoN although I still busy enough with everything it’s already there..

I hope my marriage with this game will stay a long time ?

The idea of 1946 getting the Halo 2: Anniversary or Total War: Rome Remastered treatment is amazing. Maybe one day?

I'm seventy and still have no idea what I'm doing. Except, I am cognizant of how much I don't know. ?
