I have installed and did everthing right, but every time I go to double click on the IL-2.exe file to run game nothing happens, the sand timer comes up for about 3 seconds then disappears. Can someone please help me

You got a 16mb system but running IL-2 at 32mb. Ib setup only select 16mb. Had the same thing.

Wingman,

Did you click on the il2setup icon? If not, make sure all the hardware settings are compatible with your system before trying to run the demo.

I did that Rjel,pdog1 what do you mean by "You got a 16mb system but running IL-2 at 32mb. Ib setup only select 16mb. Had the same thing."?????? I don't understand that a bit.

Nah, you got the same problem as me- all the files are read-only, you have to uncheck all the .ini files in the Il-2 root dir as well as the User directory.

Enjoy!

I did Ajax, and still no go I think it might be my Video card and the drivers need to be updated.

As they say in russian "Moya tvoya ne ponimay" translated roughly in english as "Huh??"

Make sure you unzip with folder structure intact. In the il2 directory you are supposed to have ten sub-folders.

You have to use the "extract" command in WinZip or your folder won't be structured properly. If you use the drag and drop extract method you'll be out of luck.
Took me a while to figure that out.

I also assume you are running DX8..I think it needs that!
Demo ran first time for me and no crashes of any sort..well at least game crashes..I've crashed my plane several times
Hope you figure it out...very fun demo..

S!
