pxfofo Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Does anyone else still play this old gem? I have today great time with it. BAT modpack+DCG campaign Escorting some Luftwaffe planes to Crete. But not everyone make it 🙃 2
T_O_A_D Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Yes, occasionally I don't have the time to be proficient in the later games, but I still have muscle memory in this one when I do have time. I need to rebuild my BAT last I messed with it I had stutters, but the HSFX versiion runs smooth still 1
Enceladus828 Posted March 9 Posted March 9 I still play it mostly for the Pacific and for the Soviet bombers. I can remember being in preschool and my dad booting up IL-2 Forgotten Battles and Pacific Fighters and wanting to have a try. After a few trial and errors crashes I got the hang of it. In Kindergarten there was a winter social and the school watched The Polar Express where my dad pointed out a kid had a P-38 and I was probably the only one in my class that knew what it was! The OG IL-2 brings back so many memories!! 2 Matthew 6:21, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

I'd have been 33 or 4 when the Demo came out and have messed with it ever since, a lot back then, and I mean a lot I still carry the same Nick. Is your Dad still active, virtually flying? I had mine interested a bit back then, not enough to ever go online and wing together, though. He fuddled around too much.

Not sure, he takes turns looking after my grandmother these days and I don't think he's played in years. He wasn't as interested in flight sims as most here are and I don't think he's ever played online. Even I'm rarely online. I asked him what games he's played and it was Aces of the Pacific and Over Europe when they came out, maybe CFS1 but CFS2, IL-2 (2001), CFS3 and the ones I mentioned in my earlier post. CFS3 is the only aforementioned game I remember him playing. He also recalled playing one of the early Silent Hunter games. Matthew 6:21, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
pxfofo Posted March 10 Author Posted March 10 (edited) I just love how DCG works. Yesterday, we dropped paratroopers and gliders on the west coast of Crete. And during today's flight, we could see beautiful ground battles at the drop zone. Today we are bringing in some reinforcements and hopefully we will soon capture the airport on the west coast. The RAF has been severely damaged in recent days of fighting. Its three active squadrons have only a few aircraft left, so we are enjoying quite a decent air superiority. Edited March 10 by pxfofo 1

Custom made one available at mediafire http://www.mediafire.com/file/8qqqsph... (It's a multiplayer dogfight mission, designed to be played as such, i.e. spawn at homebases.) 1
jokash Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Played it a lot 2002-2012, but there is no way i could go back to those graphics and flight model
-41-Bes Posted March 15 Posted March 15 (edited) UNFORGOTTEN BATTLES SERVER 4.15.1M History is written by the victors, but on the UnForgotten Battles server, the ink hasn’t dried yet. We have meticulously recreated the most decisive, daring, and often forgotten air battles of World War II - operations in which massive formations clashed to determine the fate of the fronts. This isn’t just a flight simulator; it’s a living reenactment of high-stakes aerial battles. Our theater of war is built on the principle of “delicate balance.” We provide a historical framework, but we don’t guarantee a historical outcome. Each map represents a delicate balance of power, where individual skill and collective resilience can tip the scales in your favor. Here, you are given a rare opportunity to challenge the past by creating an alternate reality where victory belongs to those who earned it in the cockpit, regardless of who won in the history books. Due to the vast scale of the conflict and the density of forces involved, victory in this war is achieved through coordination. While there is a place for the lone scout, the true immersion in UnForgotten Battles lies in the intense squadron-level battles. Feel the full weight of the mission as you fly in tight formation, carry out complex tasks, and overcome fierce resistance through disciplined teamwork. The balance of history is in your hands. Join us, find your wingman, and decide how this story ends.
