Great sim...
Let me give you an example to show you how good this game is. I set the stage with 4 friendly and 4 enemy planes. I'm not an expert on these games so I set the difficulty low. Then we started flying in clear blue skies. I saw 4 dots in the horizon, knowing that all hell will break loose in a few minutes I increased my altitude to hit them from above. Did so too and downed one immediately. But funny thing was I didn't see any flames or smoke, the plane just went down. Here is the thing, I love to watch replays, and this game has an mamazing replay function. After the game I turned on replay and realised that during my attack only 3 or 4 of my bullets hit the enemy, one of which hit the pilot, killing him instantly, thus causing the plane to crash.
I played a few flight sims and this game is so much better and detailed than others. I can tell you so many stories just like the one above but it's one of those experiences that you have to live it to feel it. Just set your own game and everytime you'll see a new thing, oh and don't forget to record it because you can keep your replays, fun ain't it...

This one will be a classic
If you're into flight sims especially WWII, than this one is a must have for your collection. Great graphics, however, it does have a steep learning curve. The sim is adjustable to allow "nuggets" to expert to enjoy it, totally worth the money.

IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946
JUST GREAT!
THIS FLIGHT SIM IS A PERFECT UPGRADE TO THE OTHER IL-2 Sturmovik: FLIGHT SIMS. IT CAN STAND ON IT'S OWN AND CORRECTS MOST OF THE OLD FLAWS, BUT SO FAR I ONLY NOTICED ONE ERROR, AND IT'S WITH THE TA 152, ONLY THE LEFT ROCKET FIRES.
ANOTHER PLUS IS MORE OBJECTS AND SOUNDS (TIRES SQUEEL ON LANDING)ETC.
THE UNIQUE VAST ARRAY OF JETS,PLANES & WEAPONRY IS THE BEST ATTRACTION.

great sim
This is one hell of a sim, awesome variety,great graphics,and to learn what it was like to fly these planes is beyond explanation.If you have a decent computer and HOTAS, get this sim, it's remarkable. Note: if you have a powerfull computer pay attention to Hardware Settings section of the manual found on the CD,it will tell you how to go to the config.ini and boost the graphics of trees and water. This sim is awesome and it's cheap. Get it!

The best comper game period!
Even after nearly four years, the Forgotten Battles series remains (in my opinion) the best flight-simulator on PC to date. I'd even go so far as to say it's the best computer game altogether. Although you need all the editions that came before it to install 1946, it's well worth the money. (To elaborate - you need Il-2Sturmovik Forgotten Battles, Ace Expansion Pack, Pacific Fighters, [then come several patches,] Pe-2 Peshka Divebomber, Sturmoviks over Manchuria, and finally 1946.) Although after reading this long list you might say NO WAY am I buying all that! you'd actually be mistaken as you can buy the complete collection (Forgotten Battles, AEP, Pacific Fighters) here IL2 Sturmovik Series Complete Edition (DVD) but the Pe-2 Peshka adition is only available for download (as far as I know) directly from Ubisoft.
A word of warning: you will NOT be able to play the simulation with the keyboard (it IS possible but incredibly inconvenient and inaccurate) so buy a good joystick if you don't already have one.
Another word of warning: don't buy joysticks from Logitech.
