There's so much this sim offers that the new IL-2 and DCS just don't offer, i'll take a graphics hit any day for the immersion/detail/versatility of 1946

Because I don't have to bust my wallet in 1946 and i can fight a ww1 biplane with a f16, more arcady and although you need keybinds it technically is full fedelty with a cockpit, I only play dcs with a mil mi 8.

and the low graphics have a plus that almost no game has nowadays: *it can run in low end computers*

'46 is such a great sim, nice to see you guys keeping it alive. So much history in the liveries, nowhere else can you fly a Zero, Oscar, or Betty from a carrier in Kido Butai for the Emperor!

Thanks for capturing the events :)

I like to think that the somewhat strange overlay is part of 1946's charm, couldn't imagine the game without them.

We really need a current sim for the pacific. IL2 1946 was superb and still holds up well, our squad made and flew countless missions with it including Midway and Pearl Harbor. Great sim with a great mission builder. After the addition of the Zuti mod with either the HSFX or UP3.0 updgrade this sim is next level.

Yes absolutely! Our only hope would be a new IL-2 Great Battles expansion in the Pacific but the devs said that they're still struggling with getting carriers to work so not anytime soon...

Combat Pilot was just announced a week ago! Definitely check it out. Still in its early days of development but very much looking forward to its release

IL-2 Cliffs of Dover/Blitz/Tobruk is really awesome too. It does offer more than DCS & IL2 great battles. It and IL-2 46 are my favorite

Never expected to 80+ MP on IL-2 these days. Feels great!

Man that Val attack was something else

That was pretty cool. Nice formation around 6:17. What a slaughter though lol.

Oh yeah it was a total suicide mission, but at least we looked cool while doing it.

I was going to take part in the event but unfortunately before the event started my game started crashing and I had to reinstall everything. Hope it was fun for those who were in it though!

Oh goodness, maybe I really gotta go back to IL-2 1946 after all...looks fun as heck

Keep the game alive boys!

There are some players on Hyperlobby every now and again and Enigma's Server (see the description) will host some 1946 events in the future. So it's not dead yet!

I just installed ultra for the next event, how do you get it to look this good?

This is simply the standard game on the highest settings and 1920x1080 resolution and the HSFX mod, which doesn't include much in the way of graphics upgrades.

If the Engine Overheat warning doesn't come on 5 minutes into the flight, it's not Japanese.

What mods do you use?

This is with a number of HSFX 7 mods, see the description for the Discord server with the latest info.

1946 already includes the Pacific maps. If you go to quick mission builder, you can choose maps like Midway and Pacific Islands in the bottom right. There are also a bunch if single missions or pilot careers there if you select USA (USN) or Japan as an air force for example.
