I want to play......

Which server do you guys play on? I don't have FB only IL-2 (TY Trashy), is that a problem? Wanna be shooting some of you guys down now I have broadband at home :) :p

we use hyperlobby, which can be downloaded here http://hyperfighter.jinak.cz/

but be warned, everyone plays FB with Aces Expansion Pack. There's a post here somewhere abotu where you can buy them on sale at the moment. It's worth it for the Spitfire alone :)

hardly anyone flys IL2 now.. It's Forgotten Battles Aces Expansion Pack only really

See ya in the skies :)

Donny..if you want help sussing it, here goes.

IL-2 was part one..I never owned it :( but missed the finest thing ever , back then.

Forgotten Battles launched and it was devoured by the community :) it tasted SOO GOOD. It is seperate from IL-2.

Then lots of patches came out..some good, some cack :(

Then ACES EXPANSION came out.....it is IN ADDITION to FORGOTTEN BATTLES.

SO ya need: Forgotten Battles...and Aces Expansion Pack...then you need it patched (see Forgotten Battles home page)

You need a joystick thats quite recent (Saitek Cyborg or similar)

you need a LOT of system memory...it runs like a PIG on 256, but 512 is good as gold.
Graphics cards are up to you.....the game is very very scalable....

then you need several months of banging your head on a wall ;) and I can help with a few one on ones' in early evening if ya fancy.

Ahhh....thanks for the answers guys, I will have to go out and spend some more money looks like! I already have a Logitech Wingman Force 3D which is quite nice, although a few years old now (twist grip is a bit dodgy for rudder control - makes take-offs interesting!). I have 512Mb of Mushkin @ 420Mhz CL2 etc. and a Radeon 9800 Pro with XT BIOS on :) so just need to buy FB & Aces exp. pack then :)

See you in the skies guys (or on the deck!) :D

Oh and thanks for the offer of tuition Zak, I'd like to say that with my finely honed aerial skills I would be teaching you a lesson Dude :p But, having played IL-2 online for a few nights and been shot down 50+ times already I'm prolly gonna take you up on that please m8 ;)

Soon, soon then,

DJ
