IL-2: 1946

[Wjolcz]

Just saw the guys talking about IL-2 in the Devnote thread and thought I should start a new one without the need of going offtop.

I remeber being a small kid and seeing my dad playing the game. About two years ago I rediscovered it and bought on Steam. I don't care about it's age. It's an awesome sim and I'm in love with it.

So do you guys still play it? Any particular HyperLobby servers you like to visit? Maybe the KSP community could meet up and have fun together? Share some screenshots or cool moments if you want.

Sorry if there's another thread about it. Feel free to merge it, or lock and post the link to the other one.

I'm sorry to necro this, but yes. I play it a lot even with the slightly-crappy graphics.

I'm still very noobish at it though. I can barely shoot down a few AI B-17s.

And i never play multiplayer, mostly since my install is modded (SAS 1946 is life.)

Bumping a thread from a month ago is hardly considered necroing.

If I'm not mistaken there are servers that support SAS. I think I remember playing on one, but then I had to reinstall the game and all my mods got removed.

Pretty old, but you know, still love the game.

7 or 8 years ago I was really into the game. played online with hyperlobby, kept a running word document listing: My craft\Enemy craft\Manner of kill and red hashes where it was I who was killed.


Those were some damn fun times.

I've been hoping to get this game once I find a nice joystick and possibly a head tracker, it looks really fun.

I play it with a Cyborg V1 and a mouse in my right hand to look around. It works really well but I had to get used to it as I am right-handed.
