Hi guys
Been looking into getting Il 2 after seeing all you praising it.
Which one should I get, cuz theres the original, Forgotten Battles and many other expansion packs
Cheers

IF you want to join in with the people on here that fly you will need IL2-Forgotten Battles the game and then the ACES expansion pack to play with us....

and a joystick

Saitek Cyborg Gold or Platinum are most pop....£30

or Evo for £35 with throttle at back instead of front

[[MA]DanglyBob]

And a flying hat, goggles and sheepskin......

Or the MG with a set of golf clubs sticking out the back

(only appilicable if you have the Aces Expansion Pack)

Where can I get one of these, I was just reading the "Got Some Stick?" thread.
Seems like the Saitek Cyborg Gold and Platinum is what everyone favours.
Do you know where I can get one? Cuz i want one for ma birthday
Whats the difference between the Gold and Platinum anyway?
Cheers guys

the name.. I gather, and some shiny bits... and ya can get em from PC world matey

I got the platinum from PC world.. maybe a tad more expensive than other places,, but not that much really considering I could just walk in and buy it

[r1zeek]

Well, Cuz i'm gonna be ordering Il 2 this evening, I can get the Cyborg Evo from gamplay.co.uk for £29.99, would you say I should get that, or get the gold for £22.99?

[Hat]

a matter of personal taste.. I didint like the eveo because of the position of the throttle..... i much prefer this throttel position on the gold/platinum// means I can adjust the throttel with my left thumb will adjusting flaps etc on the keyboard etc with my left hand at the same time as steerring the damn thing and shooting stuff with my right

tbh.. if you've not flown much before.. I would save the 7 quid and take the gold...... joysticks dont last for ever anyway...

[Hat]

may be put that 7 quid towards a decent headset with mic.. voice comms is an absolute essential when flying squad vs squad

[Hat]

make sure youre ordering Forgotten Battles and the ACEs Expansion Pack if possible.. nothing else will do
