I cant believe this is all free!!! I've only been playing IL2 for about a year. Yes flying is fun, but I had no idea how much I would enjoy researching and learning about how this all works. SAS is truly an amazing place. I just spent the last few days doing a fresh download and install of WAW up to Pt16. Just took a little while reading all the threads and made myself a check list to make sure I didn't miss anything. The Manual and individual threads have everything I needed. Its amazing what a little time reading and searching can do. I added my checklist below just incase anyone might find it useful, but I would suggest you really make your own and read, read, read.
Installed in under an hour and everything booted and the game ran great the first time. Only issue was the Parachute error, but a quick search took care of that!
Thank you to all the members responsible for CUP. Happy Holidays!
