I know my descriptions of issues were not very well written, but like I said I get a mixture of different results that never work depending on what settings I try in the cfg. I went into my graphics settings and realized that the resolution it was set at was 1280x720, so I changed it to 1920x1080. I have tried everything and I am very, very frustrated. I originally bought the pre-order version of this game and had the key transferred to Steam. In order to install this add-on, run the file 409m.exe and follow the on-screen instructions. Also when this happens on the left side, my view spazzes out. The Il-2 1946 add-on v.4.09m installs only over v.4.08m (1946 DVD or FB+AEP+PF+46 merged). When I look about the aircraft, my pointer will hit the edge of the screen, prohibiting me from seeing farther than 90 degrees from the side. Both of the previous options would work, except that the mouse pointer is not confined to the centre of the screen. I keep getting the same problems as before. I also tried IL-2 Stab mod as well as poking around the IL-2 configuration, but both are no help. Either the game screen area is too big and clips off the right and bottom edges of the screen, obscuring menu buttons, or I can try to run the game windowed, or letterboxed but in a larger resolution. Either its letterboxed in a resolution too small, or it is too large for my display, hiding large portions of the screen from view. I can get some interesting results when I change the settings. When I play with the cfg files, I can never quite get the window fullscreen! Basically, Win8 will not let the game resolution blow up to match to the size of the screen. The actual window is probably 640x480, much too small to be useful. With a fresh install, the game starts normally, but is letterboxed on my screen, surrounded by a black border. This is entirely a screen resolution issue, the game runs perfectly fine, but I cannot for the life of my figure out how to fit it on my screen.

Fly in Olegs skies online with 100s of players too. IL2 Sturmovik 1946 also includes all of previous Il-2 series content, thus bringing the most respected anthology flight simulator to an astonishing 300+ flyable aircraft. I've looked through tons of forum posts trying to find answers, but I can't find anything that works properly. Pilots can fly the skies and fight enemies over the Russian front, German occupied Europe, the Far East and the Pacific. I have a cocktail of issues IL2 having trouble with 16:9 (1920x1080) screen resolutions, IL2 being too old, and Windows 8 being retarded.
