Dipped my toe back in ( offline )

Out of boredom I decided to fire up Il2 1946 again today ( also reading "The Pacific" by Hugh Ambrose got me in the mood ).
Did the stock Dauntless SP then got bored so went to Mission4today and DL'd some offline campaigns.
On my rig I can run the game at max settings and get crazy FPS. What has surprised me though is how quickly I remembered all my keys/controls. First carrier take off I wobbled a tad then got off the deck, did a few landings too
Not sure about online though, I always preferred playing with a few people on TS/Vent etc with mid realism and just for fun.
I had been playing Rise of Flight for a bit ( great WW1 sim BTW ) but lost interest. Perhaps it's nostalgia and being able to play the game with decent graphics that made me fire it up today?
Right now I'm going to play a skip bombing B-25 campaign ( Out of the mist, DL'd from M4T ) and see how that goes.
I doubt we will ever get enough people together for some online, but offline this game is still one of the best.
p.s. Cliffs of Dover is still shite, even on my uber machine I can't be arsed playing it
