[QUOTE=Uberman77883;13612206]I suggest carrier battles, like try to sink the enemy ships and stuff. Take off/landing required if possible.[/QUOTE] My second attempt at a carrier landing was surprisingly successful, though the ones after that didn't ever end too well.

Carrier landings are easy if you remember the one key rule: [B]Nose up + landing hook down = life[/b]

[QUOTE=Uberman77883;13612206]I suggest carrier battles, like try to sink the enemy ships and stuff. Take off/landing required if possible.[/QUOTE] There's this one mission with 2 carriers and 2 airstrips, but it's flawed. Once the carriers are destroyed, that team spawns 2000m in the air at cruising speed, giving them an unfair advantage.

The problems with airfields is that the runway can be destroyed and screwed over. Then they can't even take off.

I'm guessing this is it: [url]http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/50910533/m/8571023453?r=7821095453#7821095453[/url] Haven't tried it yet though.

[QUOTE=edberg;13608658]What I'm saying is that different airfoils stall at different AoA's, they don't all stall at 14-16 degrees like you said.[/QUOTE] Aha, but I said "[I]usually[/I] at 14-16 degrees". Of course there are many other angles etc..

[QUOTE=brainmaster;13612309]I agree, when will the server be up? i haven't had proper good flying session in a week or so![/QUOTE] Maybe by tomorrow. As for the mission I'm planning on having two separate islands About 50km apart. One where you start off midair 1km away from each other for instant action and turn n' burn fighters. And one where you takeoff from Airfields/offshore carriers about 10-20km away for a more realistic setting, where people can organize realistic missions like bomber escorts to an enemy base, and allow for high altitude fighters such as P-51's to do their thing. Global settings will be set as realistic as possible, except a few minuscule things such as speed bar and external views.

Those are fun.

Can we have any maps where we go and bomb the shit out of ships?

Uh guys... I still kinda need help with my question earlier :p [quote=Sesshomaru-]Hey, I saw in some screenshots that in the chat area there was information on where people shot eachother... Is that a mod, or is it like only MP? If it's a mod, please link me (if it works for SP as well). Thanks :D[/quote]

It's great fun to fly a B29 at 2500m and engage level stabilisers on serious servers. Those fighters will never catch up.

Hay, my computer [U]might[/U] be working today.

Anyone that uses a gamepad/X360/PS3/2 controller post your control scheme. I'd like to know if there's any better than mine, and for people that have a shitty scheme this one may help for you. Post it like the following: Example gamepad picture (this has all the same buttons on mine, mine just isn't a ps3 controller) [img]http://i39.tinypic.com/2m2gakg.png[/img] 1: Fire weapon three 2: Decrease throttle 3: Increase throttle 4: Fire weapon four 5: Start/stop engines 6: Fire weapon one and two 7: Decrease elevator trim 8: Increase elevator trim 9: Select all engines 10: Airbrake 11: Select engine one 12: Select engine two 13: Select engine three 14: Select engine four Left stick up/down: Elevator down/up Left stick left/right: Roll left/right Right stick up/down: Nothing (at the moment) Right stick left/right: Rudder left/right Left joystick button: Toggle gunsight Right joystick button: Eject That's my configuration as of now. I sort of want to find something to set my right stick up/down to, but I can't think of anything. Post your control schemes! If you have the same button placement as my picture, just use that. :D

Does anyone know what weapon number the B-29 ordinance is? By this I mean the Nukes, and regular bombs.

Was just doing a quick mission with me in a BF-109 vs. two spitfire mk IXc's, and I owned both of them. I loved the first shot I pulled off first though. [img]http://i44.tinypic.com/2n8o1vq.png[/img] After that, the other spit pulled around and started into a circle. I followed him, trying to line up for a shot, but couldn't really accurately get him. After about a minute I got annoyed and went off to the left, and then lined up right with him head-on. As he hit about 400m, I bursted once and blew off his wing and he spiraled to the ground. I think I'm alright in dogfighting with my gamepad, seeing as they both were on veteran. I dunno, I'll have to start playing MP.

Test server up, using some shit default map. Haven't had a chance to test it myself seeing as how I can't join it, but others can. 98.219.87.161:21000

Aw, of course. I just exited IL-2 and started Gmod. Oh well, show you guys my skin later :V

I'll join in a few minutes.

I see the server and connected fine.

nevermind, fixed

It won't let me install Vista on my other computer for some reason. ;-;

God, I keep getting just plain annihilated in the Skies of Fire server. I can't seem to get behind people, everyone seems to be much more agile than me. Is there something I'm missing when I turn? Here's what I do when I turn: Roll to right, pull nose up as much as I can without stalling (which doesn't always work; Stalls frequent my playing time :C). Is there something else I'm supposed to do? Should I slow down before I enter the turn? [b]Edit:[/b] Also, I'm using the FW-190 A-4, which is apparently quite maneuverable and fast, as well as armored and powerful.

What plane are you flying? And what planes are outturning you?

[QUOTE=Z3r0747;13626823]What plane are you flying? And what planes are outturning you?[/QUOTE] Flying the FW-190 A-4, and they're flying Spits/FW-190s/Bf109s.

[QUOTE=Sesshomaru-;13626902]Flying the FW-190 A-4, and they're flying Spits/FW-190s/Bf109s.[/QUOTE] 190s are very maneuverable at high speeds, but at low/medium speeds it's maneuverability sucks compared to Spits and 109s. You could try entering the fight at a higher altitude so you have a speed advantage right off the bat, but if you do get stuck in a low speed turn fight, use combat/take-off flaps to turn a little faster.

Any one have an Il-2 profile for the X52 Pro joysticks? I tried googling for some but couldn't find any thing and the profiles on Saitek's website are for the vanilla X52 model.

Is this game any good? I've been playing Saints Row 2(flying the Wolverine, a P-51 Mustang type plane) and watching some old shows about WWII planes and it made me want this even more than I did before. My dad is getting his check this Friday so I might get it. Is it worth the $10?
