Planning on Getting IL-2

[Gnomey]

Haven't really played much because I have had exams, then when I got back home it was back onto Battlefield 1942. Hopefully I will get AEP tomorrow and then see how it goes, will let you know although I haven't shot anything down yet (except myself) and have an a habit of flying into the ground...

 

[Hot Space]

LOL Ok m8, if you need any help just let us know

 

[Gnomey]

First thing on the list is probably a joystick (I do have one) or can I fly with a mouse (I know I can use the keyboard, I just can't fly with it).

 

[Hot Space]

Have a look around for a Mircosoft Force Feedback 2 Joystick m8, can't go far wrong with one of those 8)

 

[Gnomey]

I will, although I have one at the minuete (on the other PC) so I was just wondering if you can fly with the mouse.

 

[Hot Space]

I've alway's had a joystick since way back when and I'm sure you can, but I wouldn't recommand it though - too hard too many things to do all at the same time m8

 

[Gnomey]

I fully understand that, no harm in trying though...

 

[Hot Space]

True, plus it will be fun trying as well

 

[Gnomey]

Not really when the ground is the only thing you ever shoot at, gets rather annoying. Anyway practice makes perfect...

 

[Hot Space]

You have got Quick Mission Builder were you can shoot the hell outta other planes m8 or maybe download and install a mission or two. Loads of good ones out there

 

[Gnomey]

Will do, I will be sure to have a look at your campaigns too...

 

[Hot Space]

The "Weibe Schwalbe" one is quite hard m8 as I built a runway in the middle of a forest (It's a Me-262 Jet Fighter Campaign) and it's ok taking off, but landing......lol Cats Eye's I guess is also hard as it's a Beaufighter NIghtfighting Campaign and its hard to see the buggers you're trying to shoot at in the dark

btw have you downloaded and installed skins for the version you have m8? If you haven't this is a great place to go:

You have to register though, but it also has missions as well 8)

btw 2 Here's a list of all homemade Campiagns for Il-2, Il2FB and the versions that followed m8:

I will be sure to check them out at some point.

[cheddar cheese]

Joystick is imperative...using the keyboard is just a bitch

 

[lesofprimus]

Agreed 100% CC.... Space, Im still working on ur -262 Campaign.... I believe I'm on the 9th mission... I just made the landing in the woods, and thanks to u I was mighty pissed off after the umteenth time of trying...

I made the landing 2 other times, but was rammed by my own comrades as I was taxiing...

 

[Hot Space]

There is a cheat as it were m8, use the 'Auto Pilot'

I dunno..........I could and still can land everytime I try...........ok, I crashed alot at 1st, but

 

[lesofprimus]

Nah I dont cheat like that... It was a challenge and I enjoyed beating it....

 

[Hot Space]

Cool 8) Must folk's I know who's ask me about this say afterwards 'That Auto Pilot comes in really handy'
