IL-2:FB Flight?

I've been playing this game lately... for those that don't know; abbreviation= IL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles, a World War II flight simulator with some kickass graphics :p

I'm wondering if anyone around these parts have it, and if so, willin to make a flight or something. I have this thing for using voice chat and ownting up on people on the internet in team games. So if anyone is interested, ;)

Once I learn to actually land the plane... sure, why not.

What are the requirements for this game?  Sounds bad ass.  I've been looking for a combat flight sim that concenctrates on dog fighting than long range missle-firing.

I used to play Red Baron (I doubt any of your know or remember that game, that was over 10 years ago) when Sierra Online used to be up and I loved it.

Min specs (off the box) P3 800 / Athlon 700 or better, 256MB RAM (512 recommended), Video card w' 32MB RAM (64 recommended).

I still struglle a bit on it, admittedly - been a very long time since I played any sort of flight sim.

1. Fly perpendicular to runway about 1km from it at about 1200 meters. Slow down to ~350 km/h or slower.
2. After you fly about 1 km from field in the direction of runway, start turning slowly.
3. You should line up with the runway just fine.
4. Start decending and press G to put gear out(make sure ur goin less than 350 or the gears might just pop off your plane :p )
5. Start slowing down...
6. At around 200 km/h you should have your flaps set to landing
7. Should hit the runway(slowly! take your time actually touching down) at about 150 km/h.
8. Turn off your engine(s) - I
8. Press B to brake, use it in short bursts. On prop planes without a front wheel, your plane will tip over and break your prop, etc. After slowing down to 80 km/h, you should be able to pull all the way back on the stick and use brakes in longer bursts.



You should see some of the landings I do though... those are instructions for newer people :p   I end up coming up on runways perpendicularly in a me-262 at ~800km/h and making a perfect touchdown without making any loops :D

Hmm, should make a video :)

I've flown flight sims for about 5 years now, and for me a landing is good enough if you can walk out of the plane. It's not like you're taking it up again anyway :p

But yeah, I'm interested. It's always more fun to play with a select group of people than just random players at a random server.

Make a video for an example: Although I did make a rough landing; shouldn't have turned off my engine before I landed(so that when i pulled up it would have had more effect)

But yeah, its 10mb, not too big...
