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.
Øystein -- Roy Batty: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
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 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.
