Frustrating so far. Installed, and when I tried to run the game I get....nothing. No hard disk access, the cd whirs for a few seconds and then nothing. Task manager shows no IL2 activity. It just doesn't start. It was a clean install I had ready for this moment. I'm currently uninstalling, reinstalling etc, hopefully that will sort it out.
You probably need old mg_snd.dll andOriginally posted by mmitch10:

mg_snd_sse.dll . That's known problem with some sound cards.
I-16 Type 5 is a lot of fun to fly, if useless against some of the more contemporary aircraft in the sim. No supercharging at all and a fixed propeller pretty much limits your chances against the "later" planes, but against opposing aircraft of its own generation it dominates! Looks good with the enclosed canopy, too.
Graphically, I noticed a conspicuous amount of mip-mapping in the aircraft models, much more so than there used to be.
