[eightlein 10]

Wants to know if my system will support Pac Fighters before I buy. Have SF/WOV and they work fine.

 

celeron 2.1ghz

 

512 ram

 

radeon 9200se vid card 128mb

 

Thanks in advance.

The specs on the box say:

 

win98/Me/XP

PIII or AMD Athlon 1Ghz

512mb RAM

64Mb vid memory

1.1GB HDD

 

You're specs should be ok, you will have to turn down a little detail though but the IL-2/PF sereis is very scalable to suit a wide variety of specs. Before you buy though did you see the main page at Combatace? There is a DVD version coming which includes IL-2, the Aces Expansion and Pacific Fighters and all the content (planes and terrains) included in the free patches. It's well worth getting both IL-2:FB and PF as that is generally what is played online but also offline you will have a huge array of missions and campaign's to fly not to mention over 200 planes to choose from! It's out at the end of the month which is not far away!

The latest information is that the "all in one" DVD will only be available in EU, at least for now.

I wouldnt want to discourage anyone from getting PF eightlein but i would have to agree with revvin about the merged install, there is a bigger community flying the merged one. I would also have to say you are not going to get the best from the game in terms of graphics from your system, 512 is a minimum spec but bear in mind that 1.5Gig of RAM is considered by many flying PF to be essential. As the patchs progress the demands on the system get a little heavier. I would recommend this sim but be prepared to get hooked and find yourself looking to upgrade to get the best from it!!

Yes you can never have too much RAM, been considering another GB to add to the one I have after seeing the loading times drop and performance increase on heavy resource hogs such as Battlefield 2. That said though IL-2 can be tuned to suit a great many specs so the one posted by eightlein should be enough to get him into the sim and then he'll end up as sad mad and addicted as the rest of us :D
