IL-2 Sturmovik™: 1946

I love that this game can be used with a controller, though there is a sea of various controls you can set up for personal preferences. It's been a very long time since I actually got to play this game, after I installed this. I assumed I was going to be able to be a rad pilot like I was long ago on this game. I loaded up the mission, waited for all my allies to take off to the skies as I tried to get myself familiar with the controls once again, I felt confortable enough to try to take flight. I was fantastic, a nice retro view of the world around me quickly barrel rolled in to a disastrous tumble back towards the ground. I was amused, totally recommend this game. Also be sure to adjust your windows compatibility settings after you finish installing. Just to be extra sure you have no issues. Other than that, I have had no glitches or bugs yet, I am currently running this on windows 10 Home edition Processor: Intel Core i7 2.9GHz RAM: 16GB

IL-2 1946 is the final version dating back over 20 years now. It was first released back in 2001 under the name IL-2: Sturmovik with the final 1946 version comming in 2006. And it has aged well and with grace, as it is still THE best Second World War combat flight sim on the market. And it is still supported by the hard working Team Diadlos long after 1C moved on and abandoned it. Graphic wise there are far better looking combat flight sims out there, such as the 1C ancestors of IL-2 1946. However that's about the only thing these have to offer. A high price for a small handfull of flyable aircraft and limited content were you have to pay for additional high priced DLC:s to get a small number of new additions. In IL-2 1946 you get 300 flyable aircraft, from fighters and ground attack aircraft to light, medium and heavy bombers aswell as patrol and transport aircraft you get to fly right out of the box with the latest 4.15.1m update version. 300 aircraft representing almost every nations airforce thad fought in WWII. You get single missions, campaigns, a thriving online community and a Full Mission Builder were you can create your own missions or campaigns. IF that is not enough for you you still have a thriving modding community that will expand your game with additional skins, aircraft, maps, scenarios, campaigns or graphics of which most can be found over at the great Mission4Today forum. So if you wish to get a great WWII combat flight sim with countless possibilities and good flight models IL-2 1946 is the one to get!

If you are looking for an realistic flight simulator that you can tune to make it easier (or playable on keyboard and mouse) then this is the one for you. Good game.

works perfect on win 11 excellent flight sim cant go wrong gog galaxy is good also easy way to get your game fast download thumbs up guys

This game's campaign/missions are pretty bland, but it makes up for it in other ways. I really loved the way damage would accumulate on the plane, and you'd actually feel the results of it. Landing a big bomber that is limping to the side due to large holes, having to control it without ailerons, and only one engine. That kind of thing in itself is a fun challenge. I've never played a flight sim as good as this one.
