S~
I installed 1946 and its pretty nice (actually getting it up to 4.07 after 1 install is nice). I really enjoy flying against the early IJA planes like the Ki-27, plus the A5M4's. It's also nice attacking the earlier IJA bomber like the Ki-21....
this is going to lead me to run a dynamic campaign with the early attacks on China and the Philippines. I'm going to start with an early RAF squadron flying mixed Buffalos and Hurricanes I think. Let me know what you think... I'll setup a squad night to run it.

1946 has the planes, I picked it up for 40 bucks from gogamer.com .... The nice thing is it is one DVD with everything (IL2 FB, AEP, PF, PE2, and 1946 with all patches). After you install it, you're running version 4.07.... very nice ;D

it feels like the Hellcat flies better in 4.07... or maybe since I haven't flown it for awhile |

I wonder if we can work with the Snowfox guy to get the pacific online war going. We could take over and run most of the missions.

that would be nice, I gotta admit... I'm kind of tired of flying the dogfighting servers. I've been flying a lot of coops lately, and enjoy actually flying missions. We'll have to get together and discuss some options
