IL-2 Sturmovik 1946

Anyone else have this game? I really suck at flying (can't take off or land) but i really want to learn how to do it. Might be all the different controls etc...

 

I think that is a add on, if so your need IL2 Forgotten Battles. I play IL2 but I find flying tricky at normal speed not to bad at half speed. IL2 has very nice graphics and computer friendly but I must admit I don't play it much.

 

nope - not the addon. IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 is the complete set of all the IL-2 Games. Yes- graphics are mighty pretty! I just wish i was good enough at flying to want to play the game more and/or online.

 

Mussolini, I love that sim. I play it all the time. My fave plane has got to be the I-16 and the P-11.

 

Wanna teach me how to fly/land/takeoff? :)

 

Sure, Musso.
It's pretty easy after a little practice.

 

I think one of my problems is that my joystick is slightly off (when its 'level' my plane goes up to the right)...after that issue, i think its the insane amount of controls that are different for every plane (and my lack of knowledge when it comes to planes)...

 

Have you tried to calibrate your stick? It could also be torque that is causing this problem.

 

Might be the torque then...anyway to counter this other then w. joystick? BTW, want to have a flying session (i have TeamSpeak, though my mic doesnt work for some reason) since it'd be easier to teach me how to fly using that then typing out commands while in flight. Auto-pilot makes it look so easy!

 

Is it possible to play it on vista?
I have bought it but i dont think it works on vista...

 

Same reason I have not purchased it.

 

Same reason I have XP



Cheers...

 

Yes, it does work on Vista...at least it has for the past year on my mosheen.

 

Word from the Wise: VISTA and GAMES do not work together.

 

That has been my experience.

 

I have the original IL-2 Sturmovik, Forgotten Battles and Pacific Fighters.

After a little tinkering with compatibility mode I managed to get Pacific Fighters to work with Vista, but it packed up after I applied the latest patch.

 

Yay! I just got it to work on Vista! I have Windows Vista Business...
You should buy it, its awsome!!!

 

Lol, strangest thing, I was actually about to buy this game on Steam yesterday haha..From your views it sounds like a really good game...yet I might need to invest in a Joystick before I do anything..

The one I have..well lets say, it's rather...old..like 1995 model :|

Anyone want to do a little dogfight in the future? My steam is Vegar555 and my xfire is tussi77...

 

Would you guys recommend me getting a joystick or is it playable without one?

Some what more difficult, but playable??
