Flight Sims

Recommended Posts

I have Il2/Forgotten Battles/Pacific Fighters.

They will load but wont play on the rig below. They CTD.

I had a 6800GT, DDR ram, and various motherboards in the past and they worked.

I tried a 3.0 gig Intel Pentium 4 rig with 2 gig ram. It is not powerful enough.

Does anyone know how to play these games in this day and age?

Please ... ? Help!

Il-2 should play fine on that rig. I played with a much lower spec machine 3 years ago. If you are getting a crash to desktop it may be problems with Vista. and the way the game needs it be installed. It is very finicky about the install and patch sequence. There are some fixed EXE files that allow you to run without a disk and offer other fixes. I just have not played in 2 years but my brother is still active.

patch up and get the latest drivers for your HW, if that doesn't get you in flight then I hate to say it but.........Sims are always CPU intensive, maybe your OC isn't 100% stable :(

Are you playing just IL-2 or do you have the Ace expansion pack , Pacific fighters or 1946
