My introduction to this seductress was in 2003, with Forgotten Battles.

In addition to the official 1c ubisoft patches we have some third party expansion packs such as War over Europe or the Dgen patches like EnjoyR that added campaigns and skins. Ubisoft released also an arcade version called Birds of Prey

It makes you feel kind of sad that the genre and this engine wasn't upgraded further in mainstream development.. CloD and BoS were over developed and didn't have that fun feel that the earlier IL-2 series has. Then comes Team Deadlost and their purposeful screwing of the patches to prohibit modding communities like us to utilise the potentials of the patches they released.

It's a headache, but the team here has certainly made IL-2 competitive if not in my opinion better than F2P games like War Thunder, which is a distant cousin to IL-2..

I played most of those, IL-2, IL-2FB, Pacific Fighters, and of course 46'.. an a disk addon called Battle over Europe.. I don't know if the content for that still exists in anyone's files? But it'd be nice to see it again.

Birds of Prey was developed by Gaijin, the same company behind War Thunder. Ironic really, we are getting high quality models and skins from a game that has its roots from the "sequel" of '1946

I think i have in one of my hd all the content of BoE. It is in general an expansion of Dgen and skins that should be installed on top FB, if i remember well.

Serious Add-Ons

Fliegerasse! Der Eismeerjäger – Walter Schuck (plus other Add-Ons)
Fliegerasse! Der Stern von Afrika (plus other Add-Ons)
Wings over Jungles
Wings over Waves

by Desaster Soft, Plus Wave
These I have as Hardcopies here myself. They are worth, whatever Version you grab.

Now comes real Junkie stuff X1 and Combat Zone
they pop up frequently here (E-Bay-Jerry Amazon)



All of these 4 private Companies had easy ftp access back in time. I wondered myself.
This was for the Patching, Disc Owners, once you got the directory, you simply had access to the
stuff.

Need to search Cellar, it's in the stored Books depository I think.
