I hate widescreens because once you go 16:10, you can't go back. I get slightly annoyed at 4:3 screens and I just hate 16:9 screens because they feel short.

True that. I'm [B]dying[/B] (bolded for emphasis) to play IL-2 again. :C

I got this game for my Birthday, it's pretty fun. Also what do I need to download in the way of patches? Just one or all of them? I have only have vanilla and Forgotten battles

[QUOTE=Zackin5;13786094]I got this game for my Birthday, it's pretty fun. Also what do I need to download in the way of patches? Just one or all of them? I have only have vanilla and Forgotten battles[/QUOTE] Get AAA and get on the servers. [B]Edit:[/B] Also, I can not stress how epic the J2M is, especially the J2M5. Stage 3 super chargers and fiddling around with your mixture will get you to 11,000 metres in no time at all.

Anyone who wants to know, IL-2 can run on any system that was made after 2000, since the graphics requirements are so low, but I need some practice as I was at a local gaming event in my town and I was too tired to handle the stick without violently veering off on co-op missions, killing my team, but I will be better sooner or later.

The stock is, not that.

What's a good dive bombing plane?

[QUOTE=TicTac;13793977]What's a good dive bombing plane?[/QUOTE] There's the Ju-87, SBD, and D3A1 I believe, but I prefer the Ju-87 since the dive siren sounds fucking awesome.

i like the single engine planes, pretty epic, and a challenge xD i like the mustang or yak-9ut :P

I'll have to try them out once/if I fix my HD.

ya, its pretty epic....

[QUOTE=Z3r0747;13794034]There's the Ju-87, SBD, and D3A1 I believe, but I prefer the Ju-87 since the dive siren sounds fucking awesome.[/QUOTE] I like the SBD, it's fun to land on carriers.

I remember when I forgot that I changed the Arresting Hook's binding... hilarity ensued when I plowed into the deck.

[QUOTE=TicTac;13794144]I remember when I forgot that I changed the Arresting Hook's binding... hilarity ensued when I plowed into the deck.[/QUOTE] I remember the one time we played with carriers on your server you nuked one

I did it like twice then attempted to take off.

Sorry if it was mentioned, but how do I get this to work with a 360 controller? Don't want to just label it is shit just because I can't figure it out, seems like a pretty promising game.

[QUOTE=TicTac;13794291]I did it like twice then attempted to take off.[/QUOTE] You gotta fix your hdd! I would think i would get alot more active in Il2, and possibly actually get a kill (other than Longy that is). (Man, my post seem so "empty" with out emots)

[QUOTE=133753P34K;13795452]Get a Joystick.[/QUOTE] Controllers have two sticks on it, I'm not spending more money for a game if there's a way to get it working as is.

[QUOTE=indrion;13795484]Controllers have two sticks on it, I'm not spending more money for a game if there's a way to get it working as is.[/QUOTE] It should work automatically. I use one and it's great.

[QUOTE=indrion;13795484]Controllers have two sticks on it, I'm not spending more money for a game if there's a way to get it working as is.[/QUOTE] The joysticks is two sticks in one stick. D: I used to use a gamepad, was a bitch to aim but otherwise an okay way to play IL2. Once I got my joystick, I started shooting shit out of the sky. [B]Edit:[/B] Also, in my short time playing IL2. I learned about superchargers, mixtures and shit like that.

[QUOTE=absinthe;13795509]It should work automatically. I use one and it's great.[/QUOTE] Well I plugged it in, only thing I can really do is shoot and look around...

I'm sure gamepads can work perfectly well but it would be a huge immersion killer for me. Joystick is just... *right*.
