Nice shots! I have not kept up with all of the mods/updated out for IL2 '46, and seeing shots like these make me want to dig into it. The graphics are great!
Last I flew it, to use all of my controls, I had to join some of them together, so I was using CH's software to combine their joystick, throttle, and rudder pedals, otherwise I ran out of controllers for other things (it's been so long, I forgot the details now).
Do you know if any of the updates/mods support more controllers?
