i have il2 1946 and have hardly touched it. ran it earlier today, thinking i'd hop into a single mission. was sort of disapointed to notice that there are hardly any single player missions. i expected a compilation game like this to have tons of missions included. am i missing something, or do i need to download lots of user made missions if i want good single missions to fly?

If you do a search of this forum you will find links to hundreds of user made missions and campaigns.
If you go into your game's "controls" GUI, you will find, among other things, a line for "icons". Assign a keystroke for this and you can cycle through the icon types.

If I recall correctly

Yes, it would be nice if there was a larger default pack of missions and greater accuracy & variety... you can find many missions to download though.

Well, with 200+ flyable variants, 200+ missions = "hardly any." There are simply too many flyable aircraft to have each with a "decent" amount of missions.


The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.

Well if you go into the Single Missions area there are many dozens of single missions there. The game also comes with probably 20 or more single player campaigns mixed between dynamically created ones and hand crafted campaigns including the original IL-2 campaigns. I'm not sure why this would appear to be a small number?

But really what comes with the game is just the beginning.

Go to http://www.mission4today.com to download thousands of single and campaign missions built by the community covering one end of the game to the other.

lol, I remember when I first showed my brother this game he asked few questions (typical I must say):

-Why are all maps solid green?
-How can I replace the default skins?
-Why are only a handfull of maps in the QMB?
-Why are the single mission folders almost empty? \:\)
-Did tracers really looked that weird?
