To All : Just installed IL2 1946 on Vista and plays great.

As far as it being a resource hog... bah !

It all depends on your rig.

There's a reason they send B-17s in huge formations, and that is precisely the reason I hate single-plane recon missions

Besides, player-flown gunners are much less effective than AI gunners for some reason

Will somebody explain how to go to the Ardennes campaign , those are the only campaigns i have in multiplay, I use the 4.09 patch and the AAA mods.
Or must i have the IL-2 Dynamic Campaign Generator 3.39 ?

Dowly is running the server, so you don't need anything other than IL-2 with the mods

Ok, here's today's plans.

I start hosting at 20GMT, if there is ppl. You can still join at 21GMT, I'm planning on flying atleast three sorties. And maybe a dogfight/free flight session after that (I really need to practice my 3-pointer landings).

And some new from the front from last night:

1st sortie was pretty much just a "clash of forces". The allied bombed two targets, while the axis bombed the allied airfield.

2nd sortie was the same as 1st, but we had some C47's on a mission to drop paratroopers to the Pegasus Bridge.

3rd sortie was again a 'clash of forces' with the allied bombings targeted to axis airfield near Caen and Axis bombers heading for the allied airbase. The good news for the allies was that the paratroopers managed to capture the Pegasus Bridge, thus making a little allied controlled area to mainland Europe.

Personally, I like how this campaign is going. We have quite a small kill count per session (I think 5-6 kills total last night), yet the death count is large. Reflects nicely the late war where both sides had alot of rookie pilots who didnt even see their enemy before it was too late.

The other channels have different passwords. Just like our flightsim channel, I or some other who is there when you are on, gives the password to you.

20GMT is 22GMT+2, so starting in 2,5hrs. 19:17 here now.

Oh and I think I should let you know the difficulty settings we play on.

Everything is turned on realism except for the speedbar and your own plane's icon on the map. So, locked cockpit, no CTRL+F1 view, limited ammo&fuel, no friendlies/enemies on map etc.

Yes. Everything else on realism except for your own map icon and speedbar. So, be sure to ask the tower if you are cleared to take off before you throttle up.
