LongStone Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Anyone know if someone with "pacific fighters" can join 4.08m servers? I have a friend @ work who has the older version but would like to fly with us. I'm assuming he will have to upgrade but wanted to check here first.

Blairgowrie Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Sorry to say he won't be able to join us Longstone and will not be able to find any servers on HL either. He needs to bite the bullet and pick up a copy of il2_1946. He should be able to find one for around $20.00 If he needs help finding the DVD, I can point him in the right direction. Whereabouts are you located again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 10, 2009 2. Administrators Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 The game is available as a download from Ubisoft for $9.95. Check the link here. ~S~ Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I have two extra copies that I bought for situations like this. If your friend can't find a copy in store (Best Buy) then I would be happy to send him/her one of my spares. I think it is much better to have a DVD than a download.

2. Administrators Jabo Posted February 10, 2009 2. Administrators Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I agree Jim, but it's a quick fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Right on Nick. Just as long as everyone is aware of the limitations of a download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongStone Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Thanks guys, I will get him to down load it. I do have a copy of the patch you need for the downloaded version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 11, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thanks guys, I will get him to down load it. I do have a copy of the patch you need for the downloaded version Can you put a copy of that patch in the Vault please? Also take a look At this post about a download version issue. Thanks.

Blairgowrie Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I honestly can't understand why anyone would recommend downloading il2 over the Internet when it is fairly easy to find the DVD in the stores or on line. I must have reinstalled this game 20-30 times over the years and it is a lot simpler and accurate to do it from a disc. Oh well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 11, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I must have reinstalled this game 20-30 times over the years and it is a lot simpler and accurate to do it from a disc. Oh well! I have installed it less than ten times in total I think, and three of those times was in the past week getting clean installs for a 352/AAA Mod comparison. Rest of the time I rely on a copy I made way back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I hear you Rog but I continue to read horror stories on Ubi Zoo almost every day, about people who have had corruption issues or trouble with verification if they have to download a second time. Perhaps you are more technically skilled than some of us and don't have those problems. I also thought you installed your game from the DVD.

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 11, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I have 46 on 2 DVDs, I did download the PE2 add-on way back.. I was agreeing with you Jim, DVD is by the the best way to go and it is available still. I too have read of the issues/nightmares those buying the download version experience (and now it is on Steam too and that is a mess). Point is, however you get your copy - back it up when you know it works! Then you can experiment with applying the AAA UI mod pack (allegedly it will make the install the same as a DVD copy) and when that works - burn it to DVD pronto!!

Im sorry, my finger just slipped across - an easy mistake to make )I DO agree with this comment - I don't know where I would be without a back-up disc. And bouncy things. I try to keep hold of them too. Oh yes. Well, that's it. It's time to go to my therapy session..... B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Roger, Rog. I didn't realise you were agreeing with me. I see SmackZ is having problems with downloading over the Net and I wanted Longstone to clearly understand, it is better to get the DVD.

LongStone Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I got the install off UBI and haven't had any major problems (a few annoyances here and there) I have the original zip from the DL burned to DVD, I can give him a copy of that then he can just pay for the key. nice to know about IL2, you can drag & drop the whole directory if you want to keep the old install and test against a new one. I had no problems with this at all (you'll have to update the paths for your short cuts thats it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 12, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Looks like your upload timed out M8.. No worries though, I found a copy and have uploaded it to the Patches/Mods section in the vault. Thanks for trying, S! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Just an FYI, I just ordered the DVD on Amazon per BG's recommendation. It cost $11.32 (!) and express shipping cost $6.99. So $18.31 total. Damn good deal. Hopefully, I'll get it in the post today or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
