Installing and playing works fine on win10.
But during the installation I can only choose the language between english and russian. I want to play in german. Since I own the DVD-version, I know it works in german.
How can I set the language in the game? Maybe in the config.ini or something?

Thank u very much for the effort

Solved!

In the main directory of IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 is an exe named : language_setup.exe,
start this and choose your favourit language, ready to fly.

Maybe the ESC key will then no longer have any function, in this case go into the config.ini and replace all "%20"
entries with spaces:

[HotKey%20gui]
Escape=activate

has to be
[HotKey gui]
Escape=activate

for example
