The air, sea and land scenery is stunning as well as the accuracy of all the aircraft. Il-2 is the absolute best ww2 flight sim when it comes to realism. 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. You will need to to master take offs, landings, flight instrumentation, navigation and engine control. It not for people who just want to shoot 'em up. After that, aerial combat maneuvers will be even more challenging. Cheers.

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.
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.
You only need to purchase and install IL2:1946.
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.
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.
- 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.
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 a standalone product that includes ALL of the previous versions in the IL2 series.
The graphics are alot better as well. 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. Overall we are very pleased with it and would recommend it as a better alternative to FS X.
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. 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. This is the culmination of a great series.it's worth every penny.
