IL2 - Now using mods

[Ace]

We've finally caught up with the rest of the IL2 world here in New Zealand (Us poor isolated people always miss out on the 'new stuff'), venturing into the modded version of IL2, which brings breath-taking new maps and new aircraft to fly (4 Engine Bombers!).

Heres a few pics from our first flight:

WOW .. Ace , those models look sweet .. gone the jaggered edges and cowls .. Love B24s , ive been running around in a Finnish Buffalo , still that far back , getting my spurs into combat again .. blood was on my hand last night in a practice mission .. oooh yeah still many hour practice to get back to the old game style keyboard .

With my primary FS system down ... Hmmm i wonder maybe some virtual .50 Cals put it into hospital .... jeepers that was close ! ... happened so quik

Still in the learning curve , case of just playing shooting ... reading old combat training manuals ... ' War comics '

Has Wingman Warren made his debut on-line yet?

Interesting, We are moving house and dad has given all his old comics to hide otherwise mum will find them, throw them away and/or burn them. Not cool. No doubt you've read all the Biggles story's too?

Finally finished downloading and installing the unified mod,(over 1GB) , just starting to have a play around, so far I'm finding I'm, gettting better frame rates and stability with better graphics and sounds
Looking forward to this weekends online game using this modded version. Especially the 4 engine bombers

Hopefully my new graphics card arrives before then to.

Interestingly my set up seems to run sweeter with the mod - interesting as it packs more visual effects and sounds into the game.

See you on Friday / Sunday, Kahu!
