IL-2:1946
Want to play through this game as glorious luftwaffe but think I should probably get some graphical mods and maybe some other doodads first.
I know a few people have played the everloving shit out of this so I'm looking for recommendations.

Kinda answered my own question. We could be fighting it out in bi-planes. That's nuts.

Re: IL-2:1946
I haven't installed any of these mods yet. If people are up for playing just the basic install we could get something together.
I'm up for just some WW2 1v1 goodness if you're down. This game is so ancient I doubt hosting while playing will be an issue.

Re: IL-2:1946
I'm not going to install any of the mods yet, I'd like to play the game through stock first and see how it is.
I stopped putting off setting up all these control surfaces and just did it, so we should be all set to go whenever.

Re: IL-2:1946
Here's what I sent to tedward
Firstly, you need to get the game updated to 4.12.2 or 4.13, as that is what almost all servers use. I'd make one unmodded version of each.
4.12.2 Megapatch - http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=38443.0
4.13 update from 4.12.2 - http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=229298
There are two main mods used online. SAS mod activator, and HSFX mod.
SAS 5.3 for 4.12.2 - http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/t ... 662.0.html
SAS 6.0 for 4.13 - http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/t ... 614.0.html
HSFX 7 for 4.12.2 - http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/t ... 309.0.html
HSFX 7.03 auto updater for 4.12.2 - http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/t ... 797.0.html
I'd recommend making a version for each modpack and vanilla installs.
Finally, after you finish getting all your game versions, you can download the program for finding servers, called Hyperlobby.
Hyperlobby site - http://hyperfighter.sk/
For changing the game version you want to use in hyperlobby, you right click on the connect button before you login.
The server I fly on most of the time is called Battle-fields 1, it's fun and has a good group of players.
The server website can be found here: http://www.battle-fields.com/
TS info for Battle-Fields (you'll need to make an account on the forums first): http://www.battle-fields.com/commscentr ... eak-Server
A lot of the time no one will be in the TS channel, but I'd recommend getting the TS info first so you can get someone to talk to if you are having install issues.
That's pretty much everything! Just one last thing, DON'T use HSFX on Battle-Fields or weird stuff happens.

Re: IL-2:1946
I'm not modding the game yet. I just wanted to play multiplayer.
If I really want to play a WW2 flyan game with modern graphics I'd just buy the new IL-2 and go with that.

Re: IL-2:1946
I seem to have a problem with catching up to, or staying with friendly planes. I read its about trimming, however I'm not sure how to use it properly. Any tips?

When in doubt just enable autopilot and use time compression. Your wingmates shouldn't be flying around at full WP all the time, if you're redlining your engine and still falling behind it could be a lot of different things.
Your radiator might be open some unneeded amount, increasing drag and decreasing speed (but remember to open it somewhat at least, and periodically you will need to open it up all the way or else your engine will blow up from overheating).
Your flaps might be set incorrectly, also increasing drag (but increasing lift, which is a good trade in certain situations).
You may have somehow accidentally opened up your air brakes.
Your fuel mix might be shitty and innefficient. I'm not really sure how this works or what's optimal. All I can remember is that it was standard practice to turn the engine off by decreasing the mix until the engine died.

Re: IL-2:1946
Co op missions are also a blast. Nothing like level bombing with a pilot + gunners as friends defending from AI while in formation

Just flew this mission, wasn't the one recording though

Re: IL-2:1946
Alright, tomorrow I'll just put up the 4.12.2 file.
But at least get hyperlobby, that's practically an essential.

Re: IL-2:1946
I should probably get this again. I used to be a Boss in any of the YAKKs, and I even successfully dogfought in the titular plane.(though it was an earlier variant without the gunner). This shit was my Jam back in high school.
