There's so much this sim offers that the new IL-2 and DCS just don't offer, i'll take a graphics hit any day for the immersion/detail/versatility of 1946
Because I don't have to bust my wallet in 1946 and i can fight a ww1 biplane with a f16, more arcady and although you need keybinds it technically is full fedelty with a cockpit, I only play dcs with a mil mi 8.
'46 is such a great sim, nice to see you guys keeping it alive. So much history in the liveries, nowhere else can you fly a Zero, Oscar, or Betty from a carrier in Kido Butai for the Emperor!
We really need a current sim for the pacific. IL2 1946 was superb and still holds up well, our squad made and flew countless missions with it including Midway and Pearl Harbor. Great sim with a great mission builder. After the addition of the Zuti mod with either the HSFX or UP3.0 updgrade this sim is next level.
Yes absolutely! Our only hope would be a new IL-2 Great Battles expansion in the Pacific but the devs said that they're still struggling with getting carriers to work so not anytime soon...
Combat Pilot was just announced a week ago! Definitely check it out. Still in its early days of development but very much looking forward to its release
I was going to take part in the event but unfortunately before the event started my game started crashing and I had to reinstall everything. Hope it was fun for those who were in it though!
I never stopped flying this. Excellent battle EDT. Are you running any graphics mods, there are many I am sure you're aware. Thanks for sharing the fun 👍🏻 Have a great day 👍🏻
i miss 1946 are servers still alive? best online events back on 2012... its better than todays sims cause you just sit in take off and fly...no study pain of the ass thing...simple balanced fun with realism...
Sometimes there are still people through the Hyperlobby application, but few and far in between. This was a one off event from the discord server in the description.
There are some players on Hyperlobby every now and again and Enigma's Server (see the description) will host some 1946 events in the future. So it's not dead yet!
This is simply the standard game on the highest settings and 1920x1080 resolution and the HSFX mod, which doesn't include much in the way of graphics upgrades.
Apparently my discord push to talk button was also the standard keybinding for the tailwheel in 1946, so every time I talked it would lock/unlock until I fixed it 🤦♂️
1946 already includes the Pacific maps. If you go to quick mission builder, you can choose maps like Midway and Pacific Islands in the bottom right. There are also a bunch if single missions or pilot careers there if you select USA (USN) or Japan as an air force for example.
@@schnitzelmandownbadfrfr3778 go to controls/keys Klick on the keybind you want to change, empty the field and then press the new key, press apply. I think that's the way. It's really straight forward once you find the keybind menu
Is the server you guys played on is that still occasionally used If so, can I get the server address? And if you'll use any mods, may I get a link to them as well please?

and the low graphics have a plus that almost no game has nowadays: *it can run in low end computers*

Thanks for capturing the events :)
Thanks for your part in organising it!

Dcs corsair seems rlly close, magnitude 3 are making assets and a ai a6m is coming too

Tailwheel: Locked!
Tailwheel: Unlocked!
Engine: Overheat!
I like to think that the somewhat strange overlay is part of 1946's charm, couldn't imagine the game without them.
Classic
IL-2 Cliffs of Dover/Blitz/Tobruk is really awesome too. It does offer more than DCS & IL2 great battles. It and IL-2 46 are my favorite
Never expected to 80+ MP on IL-2 these days. Feels great!
That was pretty cool. Nice formation around 6:17. What a slaughter though lol.
Oh yeah it was a total suicide mission, but at least we looked cool while doing it.
Man that Val attack was something else
it actually has aged pretty well all things considered
I was going to take part in the event but unfortunately before the event started my game started crashing and I had to reinstall everything. Hope it was fun for those who were in it though!
Oh goodness, maybe I really gotta go back to IL-2 1946 after all...looks fun as heck
That looks like it was a lot of fun!
great content keep it up
Keep the game alive boys!
Looks awesome

Hold up! i'm downloading il-2 right now to join this thing! i have to take part :D
Nice 😎
You should do more of these lol
The zeroes gunsight reticle is horrendous
Any chance of another group event coming up? I would be happy to play as a dive bomber/torpedo bomber in a pacific carrier campaign

If only there was a VR mod, I'd be flying every night!
Oh absolutely, a VR update like what Falcon BMS recently got would be incredible!
I just can't do the j/s tophat look around thing. Almost tempted to shell out for headtracking!
...but i got a vive sat here, sooo.... :p
@@capnkit 2D headtracking is so very worth it too however, a DIY setup or a delanclip makes a huge difference!
If the Engine Overheat warning doesn't come on 5 minutes into the flight, it's not Japanese.
😍
I have been playing IL2 for over 15 Years, and flying real B737s and A320s as a First Officer also for years now. How do I join you guys?
Check out the discord server in the video description! There is an event this Saturday.
how active is the multiplayer ? sadly stopped 46 when the new ones came out miss the mods and such from 46
There are some players on Hyperlobby every now and again and Enigma's Server (see the description) will host some 1946 events in the future. So it's not dead yet!
I just installed ultra for the next event, how do you get it to look this good?

What's going on with the tail wheel?
Apparently my discord push to talk button was also the standard keybinding for the tailwheel in 1946, so every time I talked it would lock/unlock until I fixed it 🤦♂️
@@Edt_dcs that explains it haha, great video thanks.
This is outstanding.
YOOOOOOOO People still play this online??? WHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! IM SUPER EXITED YOU HAVE A NEW SUB NOW HOW DO I JOIN THE FIGHT?
They sure are! Check out the discord in the description and look for the #il2 channels.
What mods do you use?
This is with a number of HSFX 7 mods, see the description for the Discord server with the latest info.
Is this a server? How do you join
It was an organised event, you can find details in the Discord server from the description of this video.
I use hyperlobby server every Saturday and Sunday.🍻
How can I get the pacific theatre for il2 1946? I’m new to the game and I can’t even open bomb bay doors. I need as many tips as I can get

@@Edt_dcs ah ok thanks. Do you know how I can set keybinds for my HOTAS for for opening bomb bay doors as an example
@@schnitzelmandownbadfrfr3778 yes, I think my Bombay is on one of those keys aswell
@@dave_sic1365 HOW TO SET KEYBINDS

Unfortunately not, it was a one off event. Details are in the description
Do people still play via hyperlobby or is there another way to multiplay these days
This event was organised through the discord server in the description, which was on a server set up just for this event.
