guys I previous had il2 + forgotten battles, ace expansion, pacific I uninstalled the programs and installed 1946 however none of the other programs in the pack installed..itv says the bonus disk has the other sims is this a two disk set .. I got 2 but nowhere is a way to install them..is this because the registry contains il 2 parts

IL-2 1946 1st disk is the install disk it is the whole thing packed into one easy install,the second disk just has content videos on it nothing to install.

Ty gumpy how can you tell if forgotton battles etc installed.. when I check the ubisoft program file 1946 is all that shows isthat hoew its supposed to be

[Gumpy]

That is what 1946 is, it's all the original games right up to Pacific Fighters all packaged together with a couple of addons thrown in for convenience.They did this so people wouldn't have to mess around trying to merg their games. the bonus disk they talk about on the back of the box is disk 1 the install disk,"notice the content"Disk number 2 has video content,aircraft list,some photos.I hope this helped

This is what you get when you buy the IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 DVD

Now all you have to do is download and install two free patches:
