Me as well not sure why. Also when I did load in the game last night it was only picking up half the controls I did like I was able to control my throttle.

loading get stuck at 50% on main screen. I had to alt-ctrl-del to task manager, then click on minimize iL2 icon on taskbar, then the game continues to load. it happens many times... any idea how to repair this?

Well, gentlemen, I found this way to solve my problem in the community and it worked for me, however, be aware that I just copied these instructions from another player who wrote about it here in the community, I followed it step by step and in fact it worked .. .

Here are the instructions:
Right click on il2 1946 click on properties at the bottom of that box first go to betas where it says select the beta you would like to opt into click old_version-. Let it update. Click on the same thing it now says old version. Click on properties again. This time go to local files and click browes local file scroll down to where it says il2fb right click on properties if it says compatibility click Change settings for all users click run this program in compatibility mode for Windows Vista without service packs on Settings check run this program as an administrator click it then change high dpi settings check first box where it says program dpi click open advanced scaling settings make sure it is set to 100 % if you see fix scaling for aps make sure it is on make sure you hit apply. Then where it says use the dpi that's set for my main display when make sure it says I open this program. Where it says high dpi scaling override click the box make sure these have a check mark and override it make sure it says application in the box. Exit out of that one and click on the il2 set icon it will say driver/video/joystick/sound/network think I chose 800×600 32 bit on video I used maximum settings for settings. Click ok. Then I went to 4_12_2-version 4.12..2 I clicked it and didn't see the il2set but il2fb I exited out and turned betas off. Let it update again. Make sure you verify the files. When you make changes. Click game this this time and go into the setup button in game and choose your best screen settings in video mode. Mine is 1920x1080x32 yours might be different than mine. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 gaming laptop with i5 7300hq processor. Hope this helps. Also have it in full screen not windowed.
