Concluding Comments
The PC technical relationship of Windows to IL-2 has now been presented in one convenient location. We have come a long way, yes? Step-by-step, you should see nice results from using the information in this topic to make improvements.
I share your passion for IL-2. All the information, hard work, and sharing is centered in what we have in common-this ongoing love of IL-2.
The huge number of views while in the development phase shows that there was much interest in this as I was constructing the topical guide. Some guys made encouraging posts early in the process. Clearly the need was there to post basics about the PC technical relationship to IL-2, especially Windows, in one location.
I share the passion of many for IL-2 and I want to help. Fortunately, and with much hard work, I have been blessed to have come to the knowledge level indicated in my topic. Believe me, there were was blood, sweat, tears, and laughter of plenty through the years of my progress with IL-2. My personal enjoyment of both IL-2 and my laptop computer has made the journey easier and more pleasurable than it would have been if it were only a job. Knowing that many others have and will go through similar trials has motivated me to help make it easier for other people.
Above all else, I generally and genuinely care about people. We at AAA have many such people who have contributed. Many don't know it, but by helping me, they will be helping others in the future through me. A hope of mine in my final writings is that anyone reading this will understand and appreciate that the care came from many people through my past experiences at AAA, and it was expressed in this topic.

Joseph is a good friend of mine who I have known since 1984. He introduced me to the original IL-2 several years ago, 2005. We have only flown offline when we are together. After a while, we flew in Pacific Fighters. When we thought IL-2 was going to fade, then IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 was released and we bought that.
Ealier in 2009 I decided to see if IL-2 still had any significant online following. I was ready to go to the next level, having bought a laptop with a good graphics card. Mission4Today gets the credit as being the first major website that I found. After a month or two of Mission4Today , Spring 2009, I searched hard for other websites about IL-2. Somewhere I read about All Aircraft Arcade. I was impressed with the variety, size, and quickness to get help. AAA was my main base of operations.
In June of 2010, the Administration of All Aircraft Arcade invited me to become an Administrator of All Aircraft Simulations, a new website, and help get it ready for official opening. I continue here with this same topic in the new website and thank all those who support my work to bring useful information to the community.
Giving Honor to Whom It Is Due
Wolf, Saburo_Sakai, Fly_Zo, HRD, Mr. Jolly, EasyRider, Hellzone, Deac, Monguse, IKKYO, Bury, philip.ed, Bong, Thrud, Thump, 8FS_Bulau, Monkey, and many others-sorry if you are not listed, but I appreciate your help-contributed to my knowledge about IL-2 and computer related issues. A bunch of these guys and others answered my posts for help at AAA, corresponded with me, or talked me through issues while on TeamSpeak.
The very detailed post, down several of them, about the multi core process affinity numbers, was posted by " philip.ed " on behalf of " agraciar " who got the information. It was to be included in my tech help topic, yet I am grateful for the contribution by these two. These numbers are crucial and I feel duty to give them honor for their part.
Special thanks to Monguse, HRD, 352nd_Persecutor, AKA_Coastie and HaDes for pardoning my blunders during my learning process. You guys are leaders who see the bigger vision-thank you!
The previous Administrators of All Aircraft Arcade deserve much honor for their vision, communications, research and development, patience, and vision. The same is true of Moderators, more or less, but everyone is appreciated for their interest in IL-2 and helpful knowledge. May they be thoroughly blessed, enlightened, and readied for future great deeds.
Fallen Angels Squadron (now no longer with a website) attached to the Dedicated Bomber Squadron was my squad. You guys are truely wonderful in your positive attitude with your willingness to help a new guy. Your assistance has lead me to this level of achievement in IL-2. Now I feel that I should pass it unto others.

This screen capture was done with the use of Microsoft Office PowerPoint. In this topic, I used images from Fraps and Windows Movie Maker, as well. A special advantage of PowerPoint is that is seems to have the least effect against IL-2 graphics performance. I have much fun with my online flying and give you some glimpses into it.
Here is an online screen capture of my launching in a Ki-61 from Saipan airbase under severe attack. It was very exciting, though I had to return to base with leaking fuel, smoke, damaged engine, and malfunctioning controls. There are three carrier based F6F-Hellcat fighters ( live pilots ) in the scene and more fighters circling me. Very few friendly fighters helped me to get in the air as I rolled my Ki-61 down the runway to join the fight:
