Anybody still play IL-2 1946?

She's getting on in the years now, but we still like to jump in the saddle occasionally.

I still play 1946 from time to time and I know a few others do. There's no official events planned currently but we do ad-hoc flights every now and then
I mean, I had fast motor cars and fast motor bikes, and when I wasn't crashing airplanes, I was crashing motor bikes. It's all part of the game — Sir Harry Broadhurst

It's what i've been playing on. I probably need to figure out how to do teamspeak because now I don't chat at all with others when i'm flying on my laptop. Can't get my command s to work very well at the moment.

When I'm flying I tend to bind a button on my joystick to a push to talk button.

It's within the settings on TeamSpeek. Start it up, go into capture and you can bind a push to talk button there.

I did download Team speak from ACG page. Seems to work, but haven't spoken with anyone on it yet. I will play with it more when I get off work later tonight
