IL2 - I've found Nirvana

[Rob]

Hi chaps. Mind if I dip a tentative toe into this forum?

After seeing you all rave about IL2 I started looking around for it. Eventually found it for £9.99 in GameStaion . Then on getting home I realise it is Sturmovik, not FB like you all have.

Ah well. It is still a fantastic 'game'. I can see days disappearing as we speak. So, off to get loads of practise then hopefully you chaps will allow me to join you in the skies. (Once I get FB).

Oh, and HERE'S my first attempt at landing. Bit heavy, you think?

THAT is a BETTER LANDING than we do At least your plane is in tact apart from the prop - we land without wings

Wait till Tumble starts posting his images of several dodgy landings

[Zak33]

not a bad landing at all matey...I still do those after 14 months of flying

You'll need Forgotten Battles AND Aces Expansion pack for the latest game

Thers a post about getting them at a discount price on here someplace, have a look. I really enjoy anti shipping multiplayer missions, mutcho fun. Especially with the HE-111. Must reload it now Ive cleaned my pc of rubish and dig out the x45

[Rob]

Thanks guys . Methinking a joystick is rather essential. Me flaps are all over the place So with that gonna head to town and get me one, just got to check that it will go on me board first (NF7).

Here's my eighth attempt

*edit* Would you guys recommend COM port or USB? I never used joystick on PC before.

[Zak33]

USB....com is dead

[Butuz]

[[GSV]Trig]

To the stars?
The stars are up chap, your more of a lawn dart to the worms

[Zak33]

*BIG BELL SOUND*

THATS what Ive been doing wrong...

STARS ARE UP ...not down.....

[Rob]

Heh heh... Nice landing shots!

Firstly, Thanks Zak link What a difference!

And talking of crashes, is THIS what you call a sitting duck check out the strafe.

And dont ask me how I managed it.

I did the same as you mate went to Gamestation and got IL-2 original 4.99 (preowned) had my first go at it last night and love it, I've always liked Planes and went to Shoreham Airshow nr Brighton last year...... wicked.
Only got a game pad with analogue sticks at the mo. Was a bit Manic to say the least so I've got to get a Joystick I reckon.

I've got IL2, but don't play it coz I dont have a joystick and am clueless as to which one out of the loads that are available to get
Which one would you recommend?
