Im 16 years old. My dad has been into aviation his entire life, he worked on Restoring P40 Warhawks at Curtis Hawk. I was raised of off the original IL2. Taught me the basics on how to fly and about different airplanes. I have always had a passion for Airplanes and the only reason I did not get this game sooner is because I was worried I would not be able to fly anything because of how advanced i thought this game was. So about 6 months ago during the summer sale I bought the basic Battle Of Stalingrad within 30 minutes of playing the game i saw there was a P40 and I bought it instantly I then got my dad and we played this game for hours. I learned about all sorts of things I never knew such as cowl flaps, gun convergence, and engine managment. after 6 months I have saved up with my own money and got every plane and expansion except Tank Crew and Flying Circus.. The one thing I want people to understand is that if the Developers made everything free but the base game they would not make any money, It takes months of Studying and flying and interviewing pilots and Modeling and sound mixing and hundreds of other factors to make a single plane, Let alone a map. This is a Expensive game, Not gonna lie, But if you really just want to fly a huge assortment of planes then get 1946. The developers have every right to make new planes cost money. It just is not possible for them to make a living expanding there game for free. After learning as much as i have from this sim my dad is taking me on my first real flight lesson. I Really enjoy this game and i highly recommend it. and i hope they will be expanding this sim for a long time as they will always have my support!
I cannot, in good faith, recommend this game to anyone. Not because the game is bad, it's actually a spectacular game. The issue lies with the company behind the game. In what I can only assume is an overzealous attempt at anti-piracy, they succeeded in locking me out of all of my DLC for 2 weeks while I struggled with their support team (even having to go so far as to send a video of me logging into the game via Steam), only to be followed by being unable to play any quick missions. When I contacted them again through the same support ticket to try to fix my quick mission issue, (after ~5 days of waiting) I was asked to send a screenshot of the main menu. After doing so, their advice was to erase the data\swf\il2\userdata folder, and verify the files, which resulted in the game asking me to link accounts... again... which failed... again (email/password incorrect after I JUST used the same email and password to login on their web page). At this point, I've lost most of my patience with the game. I understand wanting to avoid piracy, I really do, but shafting paying customers and making them wait up to a week for a support reply that may or may not leave them unable to play at all is unacceptable in my opinion. Instead of linking accounts, I'll just play through Steam, and if I can't access my DLC, I'll just stop playing the game. To be honest, this broke my heart, as I love the game, and was planning to get the rest of the DLC... But I just can't justify that now, as I don't know if I'd even be able to play the DLC after I buy it.
60 year old man, this flight sim could possibly be the most fun I have had. How many fathers get to fly with their son? Truly a fun and educational experience. I rate this game a 10 out of 10
