    It's here :D

    Well after TiG started twisting arms with the post about iL2:FB and AEP I decided to buy it, got it last night, installed it and all i can say is wow, why haven't I played this before, getting used to the controls etc and the handling of some of the planes, but I think I will be playing this for some time to come Will see you online hopefully

    Also found a decent server last night online where its setup for training you go in and a few vet pilots show you some moves was very handy

    Yea, i'll be in your position come the weekend- i tried the demo for IL-2 yesterday and it's amazing, really addictive. i like the way the planes get mashed one hell of a lot

    managed to land despite losing both wings due to forgetting to put down the gears

    Guys, don't expect to be up in the air doing a Galland from the off... this game takes a some practise. The flight physics are spot on, so the planes will stall if you try and whip 'em around like a jet jockey.

    Have patience and learn from where you go wrong.... if the plane does something unexpected, it most likely ISN'T a bug, but the realistic physics model....

    Where to start? Load up the Quick Mission builder, choose a plane and choose 4 big bombers but set them up on the same side as you... now go flying and shoot em down... its fun and helps you figure out how to fly at the same time.

    If you fancy some online fun, grab Hyperlobby (link is in the sticky) then look for servers with most of the realistic functions turned off, the outside views are important when you're just starting out.... and don't worry about getting shot down a lot.... happens to us all.... and ... even if you're out of ammo, keep following that target, gives you good practise on tailing someone.

    Despite all the offline practice in the world at taking off and landing - dogfight against AI's and so on - nothing can beat a good online practice with a friendly teacher

    So, get on here and tell us when you're going to be online - grab us in Hyperlobby and we'll be more than happy to help. ITS VITAL to be on TS with us - or you'll find it twice as hard to understand - the words flow quicker and you don't have a stupid delay whilst you're typing to each other

    And as the other guys have said - you'll suck at the start, theres no two ways about it BUT, we ALL SUCK - so you're going to fit in just FINE
