Well I gotta say I'm impressed with the latest update to IL2FB. Firstly, it's great to have the complete install on one dvd instead of the headache arising from installing FB, then AEP, then PF, then a load of patches.
Secondly, for the first time since I've had this game, the in-game sound actually sounds good. There's not much mentioned in the readme files about sound improvements, but for me this is a huge improvement - I can actually hear the engines of the planes I'm flying in formation with for a change. I'm using older nforce2 sound - I imagine most people probably arn't noticing much difference because it was already working for them quite well.
Lastly, the flight-modelling seems to have smoothed out wobbles slightly, not much, but enough to feel nice and solid when you're rolling in for an attack in a big bird like a 47 or an A20.
So all up, I'm happy with the release.
So what do you get?
