Greetings all. I've been playing IL2 online with my friends from all over the world, every Sunday evening, on a private server, for nearly 20 years. I'm 68 years old, and my hobby is building computers. As I'm retired, with plenty of spare time on my hands, I thought I'd have a bimble through the various IL2 forums.When I compared some of the screen shots to what I see on my comp, I was absolutely astonished !! What I play bears no resemblance whatsoever to what you lot are playing, with regard to planes, graphics, terrain textures, etc. In a nut shell, I want some of that too!! I've tried CUP, BAT, and VP mods, installed on fresh copies of base game, following install instructions to the letter, but I must be missing a trick somewhere, because none of them work as I suspect they should. I find this whole subject of modding absolutely bewildering. Please bear in mind, when offering advice and suggestions, that at 68 years old (ex RAF armourer), my compliment of brain cells is somewhat less than it should be !! LOL
Comp specs:-
1000w PSU
Twin GTX 970 vid cards
Phenom II Black Six CPU
Soundblaster Z
64G RAM
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
8 TB of Hdd Storage.
Op system on 225G SSD
Any help and advice will be gratefully received. Thank you.
