Enough said. What a great game. Timeless and a classic. It will be many years before COD catches up,

let alone surpasses it.

It will take, oh i dont know, about 11 years?

Yea I'll be 80 then and will need to fly at 1/8 speed. I am really enjoying 4.11, works great for me. Also the SAS1946 and UP mod geniuses are hard at work to help bring all their great mods compatiable with 4.11

There are many years left in the old girl.

I intend to download 4.11, but I am concerned about how I will adjust going back into the cockpits of IL2411.

It's all good, cause I'm really enjoying CLOD in it's present state, if 4.11 is better we're all winners.

Once I've done some time in 411 I'll share my thoughts, I have over 400 hours in CLOD and might be able to share an opinion based on experience. how many hours in CLOD for you guys, I only ask so I can determine how much weight to give this bold statement of betterment.

What you expected the new IL-2 to come out with the maps and aircraft that the original has in its first instalment? Of course it will be atleast ten years before that happens. Personally I don't fly 1046 anymore as I enjoy the more complex features of COD and look forward to further developments in the new series. This is whole idea of developing a new game engine thats allows far more complex features.

Fantastic! - will that mean all the CoD-whiners will migrate away from this forum and actually fire up 4.11 and do some simming in stead of just moaning in here ad nauseam?

You can get the "alfha" mod activator and move your most cherished cockpits into the \FILES\3do\cockpit\ directory, with the java files going directly into the \FILES\ directory.

I loved the il2 series but i couldnt go back to those cockpits now Even the new improved ones , as most of my time is spent in pit and this is the shining light of CloD. The game does look very nice now though and kudos to the guys who have modded it far past what it was.I imagine in the same amount of time the il2 series has invested in it that CloD will be just as far ahead, remember CloD has not even got a year up its sleeve yet

I hope you enjoy eating that humble pie Commorange , got a big fork ?

I dunno, I do kinda miss LiLo's picture in the cockpit! I haven't played 1946 in at least 3-4 months, probably longer than that. It just "feels" so arcade comparatively. I do miss the multiple maps and planes though. Bet I could have fun in the FMB now too, since I had to learn in CoD, be nice to have one that works! lol

Thanks for that JAMF

No commorange is right, here's one of the cockpits from 411
