Erik "EinsteinEP" Pierce looks at the recently released update from Team Daidalos.

I rate your review very highly. Everyone who's screaming "nerf" all of a sudden ought to take the time to read it.


Il-2 1946 just got real yo.

Ya some really great feature write ups here at SimHQ. I just had to have rFactor 2 after reading the article and now same for IL2.

Excellent

Edit: Word!

Easy mistake, that one.

I have not played IL-2 in several years and would like to re-install the program. I checked out the User Guide for the new patch however there are no installation instructions.

Will someone please give me the clean install procedure?

@Chops,

Numerical order is the key. If you've got the IL2 1946 CD, you have 4.07m. Then install the 4.08m patch followed by the 4.09, 4.10, 4.10.1 then 4.11. Easy peasy. If you have something other than IL2 1946 it may be a bit more complicated.

You can download the patches right from SimHQ's mirror here: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/forums/265/1/IL_2_Series_Downloads.html

Thanks to all for the kind words about the article! I'm excited to see this classic continue to have new life breathed into it! Well done, Team Daidalos. Well done.

Thanks for the quick reply and your article!

It looks like all of the content of the v4.10.1 patch is in the v4.11m patch. I did a manual check to compare both patches and I couldn't find any files that were missing. If I didn't miss anything during my check then you will no longer need to use the v4.10.1 patch. I am going to try and confirm it with the Daidalos Team before I update the Patching Guide at M4T.

Excellent write-up. Lists the major improvements in nice detail. IMO, the updates to AI makes them one of the best available in flight sims today.

Anyone know if true widescreen / multiscreen support is on the Team Daidalos radar screen, or am I stuck with San's FovChanger forever.

That being said, looks amazing. I look forward to having fun with it tonight.
