IL-2 MAT Manager
Give Forgotten Battles & Pacific Fighters a whole new look with "Aces" IL-2 MAT Manager.
The MAT Manager program replaces the default in-game aircraft markings with a huge variety of more authentic and realistic looking weathered sets.
The interface also allows the user to quickly and easily turn on & off the swastika's on Luftwaffe aircraft as well as resize and reposition unit emblems. (See the example below)
Also included is a wide variety of new national insignia markings to choose from, allowing for literally 1000's of different combinations.
IL-2 MAT Manager
Note: If you had any difficulties installing and using older, previous versions of the MAT Manager program and were discouraged, then give the latest version another try, as it now installs and runs as ONE easier than ever to use, stand-alone program. You will not be disappointed!
Hyperlobby
Hyperlobby allows you to find, connect and fly online with 1000's of other Forgotten Battles & Pacific Fighters users around the world in either large scale dog-fights, Team based or Co-operative missions.
Far larger and better than using the default game servers provided by Ubisoft.
Teamspeak
Teamspeak2 is one of the best freeware voice programs available to communicate with your teammates online.
Quick and easy to install and use, and provides clear, hands-free communication between your teammates, with minimal impact on your Internet connection. (Including dial-ups)
Even if you don�t have a microphone to transmit, connect to the same channel as the rest of your teammates and know what�s going on.

TS2 Client Software only)
