Oh man that made my day.

is it really Il-2:1946 or is it clever after effects???

[Cheyenne]

It is amazing how the 242 Squadron is doing great things in HSFX. IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 will
live forever like IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs Of Dover as long as we have people in the IL-2 community
supports these two great teams that are working so hard in keeping the IL-2 Sims alive.

If that is what IL2-46 has become then why am I flying CLOD? http://youtu.be/DNFBjJDlSOo

Like Baron, I am wondering if I am being tricked in some way :-)

[ATAG_Bliss]

They keep pulling amazing stuff out of the ol' girl. :thumbsup:

That looks really good.

[Headshot]

Geez ,it looks like a new game.

[ATAG_Lewis]

I didn't think it was IL-2 1946....It looked like some recent sim.......Amazing what they are doing!

Thanks for that Kling. This looks remarkable to the vanilla game! :thumbsup:

If that is what IL2-46 has become then why am I flying CLOD?

Cockpits, environment lighting, cockpits, more engine realism, cockpits, grass, cockpits, trees, cockpits.......and other stuff I can't think of right now.

I fired up IL2HSFX just a couple of days ago and made a high alt B-17/P-47/Me262 over Normandy scenario in the QMB (wonder why??? :D ). It still looks damned fine on the outside, like this vid, but as soon as I got in the cockpit of the P-47......:sick:

Shame, but true. It's still fantastic for making vid clips though. I was really surprised at how good it does still look, and this new update looks better again. :thumbsup:

Have they fixed the ground pop up effects? I was looking at the trees and can't see the usual popcorn effect?
Looks awesome, when is it out?

Cheers, MP

Wow. I never flew IL2 but I'm tempted to get it for the variety of stuff.

[9./JG52 Ziegler]

Don't think they have the version 7 out yet for 4.12?

[Mastiff]

no sound in the video?

[9./JG52 Jamz Dackel]

That does look good, great infact.

However I agree with what has already been said, once your in the cockpit everything just feels original il2 still :S

I miss flying Hellcats over Tarawa......Pearl Harbor in a P-40....and what was it, "Blue Sky, White Sun"...I miss that one......I had a 109 campaign I ran for like 100 missions...ahhhh...oh yeah, another good one, "Bastards of the Slot"....


...Having said all that...I always flew the 1940 BoB server anyways...I just liked the balance between the early spits vs 109s ( I'm a 109er)...so why not have it in DX10...I wiped clod bout a year after release, then saw a TF post on the DCS forum....you guys are great, I dont think I can go back to no clickable cockpits...matter o fact, thats my first post ever on the DCS forum, saying how they made a mistake not making FC3 clickable...boy did I jumped on that one...


...On the cockpit idea, I hope one day some more cockpit switches get animated for clod....the 109 pit is awesome in this game, but spawning in with lights on in the pit is weird after flying other games where you throw the switches for batteries, energize the fuel pumps, play with the radio,...our 109 pit has may switches not implemented yet...none of the breakers on the right panel work except the pilot heat...you cant play with the ammo counter...anyways...I've side tracked...

IL-2 is looking good, but imagine CLOD after 10 years of heavy modding, 1946 doesn't stand a chance...
