Anyone tried the latest patch yet? I read through the changelog on Steam and it sounded like it should fix several major bugs.

Still pretty buggy.  Rear gunning simply has not been addressed, lag is still present, and the SP just sucks completly.  AI is still capable of impossible manuveres, and planes still have flight model issues.  For instance, the Blenheim AI reacts to an attack by flopping around with the agility of a spitfire, and is faster than any fighter plane in the game.

Super bump!

Anyone still playing this? A friend of mine has asked me to recommend a WWII flight sim. I wan to suggest IL-2:CoD but I'm not sure if all the bugs/lag issues got fixed.

EDIT: yay 1,500 posts!

It has not been fixed at all.  The devs just updated on friday saying they were getting ready to alpha test the flight model |:

The best WW2 combat flight sim available right now is Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 with mods like HSFX and alike.

I know, but the guy I'm suggesting to will just be playing the vanilla game, no mods or anything, and I think his hardware is kinda old so I might have to just suggest IL-2 1946.

IL-2 1946 is still the best combat sim I know about.
I do play it even now from time to time ;D

I just bought Il-2 CoD in a fit of curiosity/giving into nagging temptation. It's perfectly playable for me though the menus etc are so clunky and there seem to be so many options missing when compared to Il-2 1946. e.g. I try a simple Hurricane vs 109 dogfight quick mission - I can customise my Hurricane completely but can't touch the other plane (you could customise all the involved planes in 1946) then the 109 spawns with Italian markings... There are some glaring errors too - in the campaign the 1st mission briefing tells me I'm taking off to intercept some Stukas attacking a convoy, the game loads and I'm facing a flight of Dorniers that are bombing the end of my runway, I thought "great - some unexpected twists to the mission script", took off shot a couple down and then got debriefed saying congrats on killing those Stukas... The next mission was the mirror image - "emergency scramble to defend from attacking Dorniers", actually going to intercept some Stukas...

This game was for sale on steam last weekend so i decided to buy it and see what it would be like.
I discovered rather quickly that i need a joystick though. What are good mid price range Joysticks these days?

Is the game still a pile of bugs and glitches?

In the hour i played it seemed ok, had an FPS drop once and it seems like you need a monster of a machine to play this on high.

Last new update for a big patch seems to be dated 17 okt 2011. Maybe they fixed it.

Bugs and glitches have been ironed out, but the game still completely lacks any noteworthy campaigns as IL2 originally had (COD only have 2 10-12 mission scripted campaigns).  Basically, it has become a completely multilayer game...and that's not my cup of tea, or many other people's.

MP also is still buggy at this point. Pretty broken UI and AI planes disappearing when you get close to them.

I honestly feel like it is going to be a few years before this gets close to having a large online community .

And meanwhile, their single player community is non-existent, and that was the backbone of the IL-2 series.  Meanwhile, their dev team is all dicking around with doing Ostfront again....


It is really sad to see this franchise die with this.

IL2 1946 is still alive and strong, 4.11.1 patch was just released and UP3.0 adds a shit ton of new content. The new cockpits rival anything ive seen in a simulator yet (i know COD wins in that category) but yea... I only ever play quick missions and there to much to choose from...
