There are also replacement DLLs for it to play it without the DVD.

But make sure you get the proper version of IL2, you really want the '1946'
edition which has all the released addons and such. Espesially if you aim
to play online.

Depends on the edition , some are & some aren't. I got a 1946 copy that's
clean & I seem to remember some of the others were too.

WTF are you talking about? No edition of IL-2 has ever used Starforce that
I know of. Ubisoft stopped using Starforce long before the 1946 edition was
released too. Maybe in Europe they used it on some editions of IL-2?
Certainly not in NA on any version of IL-2. Maybe you guys are thinking of
SH3?

I've bought the 1946 UK version recently; Ubisoft, black box, 2 DVDs.
Just installed because of this thread.

No (hidden) starforce drivers in my Device Manager.
And the starforce removal tool did not find any drivers to uninstall.

So it seems this version is clean.

Mind you, it does not actually start up, but that is a different issue
(securom?)...

I concur.  That web site that supplies noCD cracks lists IL-2 FB/Aces as
Safedisc V.2, and IL-2 1946 as SecureROM V.7.  And yes, SH3 has SF as
well as the Gold version of LOMAC (which is why I never installed that).
  The earlier versions of LOMAC did not have SF.  Maybe that's the
confusion.  The SF on SH# has been cracked so it can be played without
the SF DLLs destoying and melting down your computer into a pile of
bubbling goo.

I also recommend the 1946 version of IL-2 insted of any earlier version,
even if it's $10.  1946 is regularly priced at $20 and it has so much
additional content you'd be a fool not to get it instead.

Hey gumby/dave seven/rat river: <plonk>.

I really must get regexp up & running so I don't have to keep doing that
manually.

The copy of 1946 I have has nothing at all on it, so the web site's wrong at
least by that much. A bewildering array of different systems seems to have
been deliberate strategy.

Probably. Have you patched the game yet? There is a patch to install. If it
won't run after that then go look for a crack.
