Great flight Sim November 19, 2008
Il-2 is the absolute best ww2 flight sim when it comes to realism. It not for people who just want to shoot 'em up. You will need to to master take offs, landings, flight instrumentation, navigation and engine control. After that, aerial combat maneuvers will be even more challenging. The air, sea and land scenery is stunning as well as the accuracy of all the aircraft. It is amazing to takeoff in a Grumman Wildcat in the Pacific and have to manually crank a handle to retract the landing gear. These guys did there homework on ALL of the aircraft. Cheers!
Historicaly accurate fun November 16, 2008
The Holy Grail of combat flight sims. You can configure the game for anything from arcade shootem up to full on realism with complex engine management, blackouts, headshake, etc... Each plane modelled flies like the real thing with variants within a paticular model displaying different flight characteristics. Fanatical attention to historic detail, they release patches just to change the style of lettering on a guage or the color fo its needle if they didn't get it right the first time. BUY THIS SIM and check out mission4today.com for hundreds of free additional missions, campaigns, and skins. Perfect for gamers and historians alike.
Stellar study of WWII air warfare; & stunning flight simulation to boot! November 11, 2008

If I may describe the virtues of IL2:1946 in point form!
- Any one of the IL2 series are among the best air combat simulation software you can currently get for the PC. With IL2:1946 you get the ENTIRE series on a single DVD.
- It is the BEST WWII simulation for air-combat there is.
- It sports a high fidelity physics engine as well as an inbuilt & powerful mission/campaign creation & management utility.
- This is definitely a product that broadens perspective! IL2 is extremely challenging, but the rewards are priceless with regard to an enhanced perspective of some of the challenges experienced by the aviators of that period and some insight into the machines they flew.
- It is buoyed by a legion of user support, with a very active online community.
- It generally runs very well on older PC's (mine is a Dell Dimension 5150 which is over 5 y.o. with high details and high frame-rates), occasional frame-rate hit around airfields and heavy traffic).
My advice is, if you're even slightly interested in FLIGHT or in the WWII period or both; then you should make sure you have your-self a copy of this sublimely marvelous piece of software tech-art. Without a doubt, Oleg Maddox is the modern day equivalent of Michelangelo or any of the Renaissance people.
I noticed there is one review that states you'll need previous copies to install IL2:1946; this is INCORRECT! You only need to purchase and install IL2:1946. It is a standalone product that includes ALL of the previous versions in the IL2 series.
 IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 October 30, 2008
Great game....My husband had asked for MS Flight Simulator X for his birthday but I came across this instead. He really likes how it is still a flight simulator game but it has the added bonus of being able to dog fight, go on missions, and numerous other features. The graphics are alot better as well. Overall we are very pleased with it and would recommend it as a better alternative to FS X.

Whether you are a pro or a beginner, the object of any game is to have fun and to enjoy the experience. UBISOFT has created an environment to allow you to do this the Il-2 series. With a little help, [...], the Full Mission Builder opens a world of user created scenarios that expands the field of play well beyond the average flight simulator. This is the culmination of a great series...it's worth every penny.
