Sorry I missed your reply!

If you're having issues with the MODs, then check the help section here: WW2 Fighters FAQ

Look over the topics, but I think you'll find answers towards the last section!

I love this game! So fun

The only thing that annoyed me is when I would play as like a P-51 and fly up against the Ar-234's and Me-262's, they would always run away and I could never catch them!

You can still find the game if you search at Amazon or Ebay...all the patches and upgrades are still available (until December) at ww2fighters.org

I see that you missed the 2 year reprieve to the death sentence.

...Are very good things if you are as old as LockNLoad...(or me... )

It's also a good, and very unusual thing if it's a flight simulator that's going on 13 or 14 years, like, uh, let me see,....

THIS ONE!

And it looks like this old forum is going to be around a while longer too.

Yep. That's right. When you get down to it the are a couple of die hard's out there who just couldn't stand the thought of not supporting us old cobb webs and keeping these old dark corners open for us to hang around.

Seriously though, WW 2 Fighters forums have been renewed for a couple more years thanks to the generosity of a couple of anonymous benefactors. So, for those of us who peek in every now and then, you might want to offer a word of gratitude to those generous old souls who probably have grown accustomed this old HANG OUT just as much as, if not more than, we have.

So, tip of the hat and .

THANKS FELLAS!

Hey all, newbie here. Quick question: can someone please tell me what type of pc I should get to allow me to play WWII Fighters? I got the game new back in '99 and just found in a box of old stuff. Man oh man I used to love this game, flying around in the 109 or 190, pretending i was Gunther Rall or Ernst Schroader. Anyway, great forums here look forward to many entertaining discussions!

[RGaspar]

One more thing. I haven't played a pc game since IAF back in '01 so any info on graphics cards I would need etc. Would be much appreciated. I currently have no computer other than my iPad, so I would need suggestions on where to find a suitable one mainly for ww2 fighters. Thanks again!

[GrauGeist]

Hi RGaspar, welcome to the forums!

As far as WW2F goes, you can run it on any older machines, since it was released back when a Win98 Pentium 200 MHz computer with a 16Mb ATi graphics card was the "ultimate" gamer!

You should be able to run the game on a newer windows machine without any problems...

[RGaspar]

Thanks graugeist, guess I could look around some pawn shops and see if they have a decent newer computer. I really would like to get into Il2 but just don't have the funds right now for a good pc. From what I've seen online things have come a long way since ww2f!

[GrauGeist]

Believe it or not, I run all of the IL-2 series except IL-2: 1946 on my "Legacy" gamer, which is a Pentium III (1GHz Coppermine) with 512Mb RDRAM with am nVidia G-Force 256 video card and Win98SE for an OS. Once in a while, it'll stutter if there's a heavy graphics condition, like being over a large city with flack and a large amount of aircraft, otherwise it's extremely smooth, even when I'm in multiplayer with friends.

I have kept the ol' legacy machine around because I have all of my old games on it (Mechwarrior, Red Baron, Jane's, Air Warrior, Aces of the Pacific, etc etc) so you shouldn't have any difficulties with the first couple releases of IL-2.

[RGaspar]

Which Il-2 would you suggest? (I've never played any of them) a lot of people say 1946 but I really don't know the differences in any of them, or even when they were released lol. Looks like I joined the right forum!
