Some patches?

[Emp_Palpatine 501]

Hi there!

I just got IL2-1946 and I am wondering wether there are some must-download patches and/or mods for my new game?

I'm quite used to the thirdwire Wings over somewhere series, so, I'm quite used to patches. Does IL2-1946 need some?

 

Thanks!

There's a major patch to version 4.08 available which you will need to play it online, and also a beta 4.09 was released yesterday. In terms of mods, IL-2 isn't as open as the TW series, new content only gets added by the developers; Anything else is considered a hack and will get you kicked out of MP games and even some community sites. Except for aircraft skins, there are thousands of skins available.

I do thank you a lot, gentleman! :)

 

So, there are no mods for the game? No new campaigns or flyable planes, then?

Campaigns and missions, yes. Tons of them. Also the aforementioned skins.

Flyables are ONLY added via patches, as are maps. Il-2 is a "closed" sim, not "open" like CFS3, SFP1, MSFS, and some others.

New v409 BETA patch contains three new high quality maps(Slovakia, Bessaraboa and MTO) the maps are the best ones so far in quality, it also contains new default skins for several plane types(German/Italian/Russian) and a brand new graphics option of extended visibility + some other stuff.
