Hello!

I'm absolutely excited to discover this upgrade and want to get started asap.

I have a couple of questions in order to figure out how to get started.

I plan to purchase the base game for this but I'm not sure which I need. I'm thinking XWing Alliance but I'm not sure. Could someone let me know?

Also, where do you recommend I purchase from, GOG or Steam?

I have an Acer laptop which I currently use to play the original IL2 1946 flight simulator. I was wondering if it will be able to handle the graphics of this patch? Does this patch require a graphics card upgrade?

Thank you

Hi

X Wing Alliance is what you're looking for. I bought it from Steam and the mods work great! Can't say anything with respect to performance on your laptop :/

Hello there and welcome!

The mod works for either Steam or GoG. Whatever meets your preference will do.

Hardware-wise you may want to make sure your computer can vagiely run contemporary games. A strong CPU and a graphics card equivalent to a GeForce 1060 is what you‘re looking for.
