Yeah, it's a good bargain for $10. Even the stock IL2 1946 is great, add some *mods and vóila!
*mods require changes to the game files that Oleg Maddox doesn't approve, so it is the Subsim.com policy not to provide links to IL2 modding sites or mods. (atleast, that's the last I heard

)
EDIT: Oh and in case you have missed it, Subsim.com has a flight sim forum, just scroll down until you see General Topics and then some.
