There is now an Update 9 for "IL-2 SCW". More info here:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,40639.0.htmlWot, you say, updating ”IL-2 SCW” now?
When there are several new versions of modded 4.12 IL-2 1946 already here or soon around? (Not least CFM, that promises to be THE ultimate in modded IL-2 experience. I will of course get it myself BTW.)
Well, the reason for me updating "IL-2 SCW" is mainly about one thing. Content. While the new versions of both HSFX and SAS ModAct are truly impressive, and some of the features of 4.12 really is to die for (I love just the sight of aircraft taxying to take-off) what is often lacking are a number of Mods, mainly aircraft from the 30-ies, that I myself treasure a lot. (The number depends on how you count, but I say around 60.)
Call me a reactionary or even a romantic, but for me there is till life in the old girl, earlier versions of the sim – and we are talking about 4.10/DBW 1.71 here.
Being very much interested in the conflicts of the Thirties (the Spanish Civil War, The Sino-Japanese War, the Chaco War) and also the opening stages of WW2, ”IL-2 SCW” is the best alternative available for me right now. And as the sim moves on, there WILL be mods left by the wayside (for technical reasons, or simple lack of space – the dreaded JAVA wall is still around) and therefore not given the attention and usage they deserve. But many of them will have a loving repository in ”IL-2 SCW” instead!
