Recently, I purchased a 1 TB iomega Prestige Hard Drive discounted for only $99.00 (USA). That is over one trillion bytes of storage-what a deal!
Does anyone know for certain that IL-2 will run from an external hard drive with absolutely no decrease in performance?
I don't know about absolutely no decrease, but I've been running IL2 from my external for awhile now, and it seems to be working just fine. it takes a little longer to load things, but that's to be expected. once the game gets started, it seems to be pretty much the same.
I run from an external and have noticed no problems.

So do I.
Laziness is the mother of progress. My QMB missions can be found here:

The only problem that I have noticed is a momentary hesitation or stutter When I host while using it. This is cause by the computer requesting updates from the external and it feeding it out, or updated the game with this new information . How bad this will be depends on the speed of the external hard drive and the amount of memory you have. Small memory will need to be updated more frequently. When I host using it I get a split second stutter every five minutes or so.
Same here, no problems on an external HD.
