Hopping back in the saddle for some retro fun?
So whilst cleaning up the computer I noticed that I couldn't bring myself to delete good 'ol 1946, I dont know if its just the endless fun I have had with it or the lack of ever playing it with a massive group like I always wanted too.
So I was wondering if there was any chance we could get some ACG action going on in it? Maybe loading up some historical missions and having some fun doing what we can't with CloD.
I'd love to maybe do some massive bomber crews or pacific theatre type stuff but again I would love nothing more than to just play the game!
Thoughts?

Hmmm I kick the idea around every now and then but at the end I had more fun modding il2 than actually playing it.

Well we had some partial success on Saturday evenings but it petered out
Re: Hopping back in the saddle for some retro fun?
Like Dickie said we used to fly IL-2 on Saturday evenings but due to work commitments I couldn't host anymore and it stopped. I still have loads of missions which I'll get uploaded to the Mediafire account if they're not already. I'll also look at updating the IL-2 guide in regards to hosting a server if people are interested.
I'm still not able to fly until February sadly.

Well, i also had the same plan.
i just installed cup mod and my god it's awesome, graphics and plane wise (link:https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/ ... 647.0.html ). it's a huge mod that adds tons of features, planes, effects,theaters and what not. it bassically ads the best from all the mods out there. after December 2016 they updated the mod and made it a lot easier to install. all you have to do now is download the files. extract them in te right order and put them in de il2 root folder. just follow the steps they give you and be very precise during the install.
I can make and host missions if people want to fly it. just tell me what theater you want and i'll make it. also if anybody needs any guidance installing this mod or getting the hyperlobby multiplayer program to work feel free to add me on steam or write a pm message and i'll help you.
i already have a battle of Burma mission ready and i am working on a battle of france (with actual french planes), a battle of new guinea and a battle of the Marianas mission. i hope people are up for flying this....

I dont mind it being a few guys only, if it comes down to a group of five im still super interested in finally playing it cooperatively.

I'll try CUP again. I was wanting to try the jet stuff on it.

I've spent all day downloading and following the guide and it still doesn't work. Easier my arse!

Re: Hopping back in the saddle for some retro fun?
oh, well that's a bit of a problem isn't it....
is it only the jet's that don't work or doesn't it work in general.
And if so do you get crashes or doesn't the quick mission builder work or something?
this must be very frustrating cause it's a lot of work to install and if it doesn't work.. well...
if you still want it to work than pm me or add me on steam and i'll try to help you via teamspeak.
