Hi, I want to start flying something from the IL2 series and think that perhaps 1946 would be a good place for me to start because I am not sure if my graphics card is good enough for the newer versions such as CloD & Stalingrad. (Graphics card is Nvidia GT740...btw)
Question: Where is the best place to obtain IL2 1946? ..........(I don't see it offered in the IL2 Sturmovik website)
Gog.com - DLC free and updated with TD patches.

Sry for dumb questions but what is "DLC free" mean and what are "TD" patches? ...
I type wrong, is not DLC, but DRM
If you bough for example in STEAM (don't know if still sell there) you are forced to run STEAM - that is the DRM - for run IL-2, like is need for CloD. (1)
If get DRM free can run the game without need to run other program or log authentication service, like IL-2 BoS or DCSW.
TD patches mean Team Daidalos patches - that are the official patches done after the original developer leave the game, the last is 4.13.
If you buy just the game without that patches, will be the version 4.10 and will need do several downloads/install to get updated.
(1) If you are used with STEAM - is a good thing, at least never "eat" my computer like people say around :D
can buy Il-2 1946 though STEAM and leave STEAM do updates automatically, the price is same of GoG.

Oh thanks! ......I prefer not to use Steam I think. Simply because I don't want to run an extra service ...and when I did use it years ago, I thought they were a pain in the ass. The link you provided sounds good enough to me.
However, I think it would be nice if ATAG or Team Fusion hosted their own link and service to these type of downloads because that way our dollars would go to them which I'm sure would help sustain their services to the community.
