Summary: Historicaly accurate fun 2008-11-16
Comment: 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.

Summary: Stellar study of WWII air warfare; & stunning flight simulation to boot! 2008-11-11
Comment: 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.

Summary: IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 2008-10-30
Comment: 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.

Summary: Worth Every Penny! 2008-10-24
Comment: 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.

Summary: best WW2 sim to date 2008-10-02
Comment: this is the best WW2 sim that you can buy. It can be as arcade as you like or as realistic as you like. The flight models arent perfect, but they are amazing compared to the competition. Graphics are top of the line. Multiplay is excellent with hyperlobby (search hyperlobby in google or something) installed.
