at last all the il2 series combined onto one disk, with all the patches up to 4.07 sometimes wishes do come true.
is one of my favorites and i will prolly play it till im old n gray.....I just got my 3rd pc and its still behind compared to he rigs most people play on, but i can play this game with no lag and no stutters in frame rate :).........and it looks fantastic :) the maps are one of the best things about this game. they are huge and you never go out of bounds (you can,but you end up comming
back onto the map from the bottom or top whichever side you left on). anyways the options are plentifull, for arcade people you can turn off all the realistic settings and scream around without a care of stalling or black n red outs........kinda takes the fun out of it though, the views are sweet, you can jump from plane to plane, even an enemy plane to see what hes up to.
there might be alot of key bindings but its well worth the time to set them up. Next trinket on my list will be a IR tracking kit for this game, oh the cool toys they make :) anyways i give this game top honours for flight sims category, and this is the one to play if your in the market for combat sims.
Have fun and stick with your wingman & vice versa...........:)
