There was a rumor that they were going to consolidate the install into one file but I don't know if they ever achieved that. When I had it before my PC died, I remember it being a quite incredible and comprehensive mod.

They did, but since that time they have added several more updates that are not consolidated into the single install.

It is all a process and requires a tremendous amount of HD space. I'm just not sure it is worth keeping up with anymore.

It's not as bad as it used to be. I'm going to give it a shot. They promise over 2100 unique
flyable aircraft and over 10,000(!) single missions.

2100 planes for $2.50 sounds like a good deal.

It's not going too well.

With the big mod pack installed the 1946 game hangs at loading (95%).

Without the mod pack the game crashes when I set my monitor's native resolution (4k).

New early access module released...Odessa and Leningrad: Siege and Liberation. Two new maps and a pilot career mode spanning nearly the entire length of the war on the Eastern Front. Another highlight is 8 new planes, with the JU-87 D-5 Stuka being the stand-out for me.

I am a WWI guy. Everything else is too fast for my brain. A bit faster than a Model T is about right for me 😊

I'm waiting on combat pilot, I'm kind of done with these devs. At the most, I'll get it on steam in a couple years for 10 to 15 bucks.

I thought Combat Pilot was the same guy (Jason?) from the Il-2 series?

It is, but Jason left 1C and started his own gig.

They do have you covered with that (not the car, though).

Personally, I'll probably pass on this. Much as I like to support these guys, I can't really justify getting another WW2 module only for it to gather dust on an SSD.

I am considering Korea, though.
