On April 13th, 2002, Ubi Soft released the latest version of <I>IL-2 Sturmovik</I>. The “patch,” while fixing some bugs, was virtually an upgrade, adding three new flyable aircraft and adding many desired features.

Hey great write up on the patch. I had just installed it and only had time to fly a little single player. I noticed some of the FM changes and liked them.

Are the instructions on how to enable FPS information in the readme?

Thanks for the article and I'll see you online.

Yep, in README.

Bring up the console in the chat buffer with > and type "fps START SHOW" not including the quotation marks of course..

Great write up. Has to be the best straightforward review of a patch I've ever read. Very comprehensive and even handed.

I've flown a few single player missions with the new patch and so far have had no problems except with sound. I'm going to try the fix you mention in the article to see if that clears it up.

The rocket plane is a blast (pun intended)!

Okay, I DON'T ACTUALLY OWN the game, but in the ubi forums, all I see are people bitching about the FM.

What up with that?

Well,

The Flight models were toned down quite a bit. Such airframes as the LA-5, which were
like rockets with props, aren't so "uber" any more. The IL-2, which was a tad under
powered is now so anemic, it can hardly get out of it's own way! Whether it's closer to
"real life" or not, has yet to be seen...
