Delisting
The standalone release of Pacific Fighters was delisted on Steam no later than March 27th, 2011. This is the date that the earliest capture of the IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 page on Steam reflects the inclusion of Pacific Fighters in its “5 Games in One” description.
The standalone release may have been delisted due to publishing changes between 1C and Ubisoft around this separate title. It is also possible that it was delisted to incentivize purchases of the all inclusive 1946 release which was updated to include the Pacific Fighters content along with other IL-2 expansion packs. IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 and the Pacific Fighters content remain available on Steam as of this writing.
