UI 1.1 installed 4.09b1m under Wine 1.1.31 on Linux Ubuntu 64 bit OS. Everything runs OK: multiplayer, joystick full functions, landscape perfect setting, track recording etc. Voice comms (radio) doesn't work but I use Linux TeamSpeak server and Wine TS2 client anyway. Action videos are captured on GLC and edited with Kdenlive. For those who want to move up to Linux try dual booting for a month or two; it gets quite technical at times - but well worth it.

All my other PC functions - email, internet browser, word processor, spreadsheet, calendar, photo manipulation, illustration, project manager, 3D modeller, website editor - are fast, functional, virus-free, up-to-date and free.

EDIT: TeamSpeak client runs under Wine.

Good news ! how do you avoid Microsoft netframework as it is necesseray for UI-1.1 to work ?

What 3D modeller do you use, please?
Can it be used for airplane 3D modelling, like 3D max, please?

IL-2 1946 installation: 4.06 loaded from DVD under Wine 1.1.26 then 4.07 and 4.08 upgrade. AAA_Community_Installer_ver_1_0_part01old.exe and 7 part RAR installed with slight hiccup at part 3 where the target needed redirection. After trials found that game worked best under Wine 1.1.17 (now 1.1.31).

Blender http://www.blender.org/ can be used to model aircraft just as well as 3DMax. Blender = free but 3DMax = 2700 GBP; I've used both in the past but I am now happy to just use Blender (and stay completely legal). You probably know that it takes much time to use these applications properly; I've been using Blender for over two years and still know less than half of it.

I wonder if you intend using it for IL-2? If so, I think people use GMax for modelling - and I think its free. I see you can use Blender for MS FS9 flyable aircraft: Blender > *.OBJ file > makemdl.exe > *MDL.

I'll have to give it a try. I have been using Ubuntu for some years now but I never got IL-2 to work. I'll try tomorrow.
