Play a prominent role in the air battles during World War II as a pilot of one of over 200 aircraft in this realistic combat flight simulator.
[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/il_2_sturmovik_1946]IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946™ is one of the best World War II flight simulators out there, packed into a compilation with all additional content released since the game's initial launch in 2001. This critically acclaimed title boasts an incredibly realistic flight model, great graphics and over 200 flyable aircraft! Don't let the "realistic" part scare you - the game includes a training mode and you can always tweak the amount of realism to suit your needs. The single-player modes let you fly individual missions or start a career in one of many authentic World War II scenarios. A definite must-have for any flight simulator fan, historical or otherwise.
Easily one of the best flight simulators ever released. Extremely recommended.
and 1946 has everything, all the good historical stuff and wacky stuff like the heinkel lerche 3 that existed but didn't see wartime service.
On a related note, I think I've found a birthday present for a friend...
I LOVE this game. It sucks that I just bought it off of a competitor two months ago.
Damn!
I was considering buying this off Steam, but I think I'll grab it from Gog instead :)

Good call.
1 the game is cheaper
2 I had to wait to download the manual
3 I never had the chance to get the ref. card or the other great material that is found here.
My advice if you like flight sims DO NOT HESITATE.

Even though it's possible to play with keyboard and mouse, It is definitely strongly recommended to use a joystick.
Best combat flight sim in recent times! Actually, it's an entire serie combined in one game! Get yourself a joystick and play it. Too bad it doesn't focus on the Battle of Britain, but there's a sequel in the make which does!

Actually, there is already an excellent sim completely focused on the Battle of Britain. It stays up there with IL-2: 1946 in the top of my favorite WW2 flight sims.
It's Battle of Britain 2, a remake of Rowan's Battle of Britain. Here's the link for you to take a look:

81RED, the download should be working for you now, please try again. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience caused, this should not have happened.
The game card doesn't mention it, so I ask just to make sure: this version is fully patched to version 4.08m, isn't it?

Works fine now, and don't worry about it :-)
I'd totally buy this if I didn't own it already.
