    If you're talking about the original IL-2, I could help you (a bit ). I'm afraid most of the guys on here wont be able to cos they are FB junkies

    First question. Have you got a relatively new (ie, less than 2-3 years old) joystick?? If you haven't, get one . The Cyborg 3D Evo is a good stick to get, check out some of the threads round here for info.

    Its "IL-2 Sturmovik"

    I got a Microsoft sidewinder 2. Its got 8 buttons, a hat, throttle flipper thing and you can twist the joystick (moves the back rudder thing in the game)

    Yea, its the original, and your stick is a good 'un. Well, when you receive your copy, either post here or drop me a pm and we'll sort out some online dogfighting etc.
