'Excellent, just like the movies.'

Last I played was FB.
Maybe some Pacific and 46 but not that much.

Doing pacific dynamic campaign as the Japs.

I love Il-2: 1946. 

Still one of the best WWII Combat Flight Simulators. Singleplayer is fun and there are some amazing custom campaigns(see Mission4Today for some examples), but I only play offline to practice gunnery or evasive maneuvers.

Though I mostly fly Luftwaffe planes and sometimes American kites(P-38/39). I hate every Russian plane, loathe the Spitfire(it is a lovely plane but too easy to fly  ) and mostly do my best to get into trouble online for boom and zooming with at least 2K of altitude advantage.

Also, I love the Fw190s and the 110s(if you ever see a 110 above 4K without bombs trying to kill late war planes it is probably me...).

A lot of the Russian planes are great though.

Needs better multiplayer and better support in general, Steam is still and once again behind on a few patches ಠ_ಠ

Not that I can fly well enough to play multiplayer yet anyway.

You can patch the Steam version by hand though. Worked like a charm for me.
More annoying is that the Steam version is lacking certain folders that the game can't create itself... >.>

However, I couldn't get mods to work with Steam. So I now own it from GoG as well

Also this:

Yes!
My motor got fragged over Smolensk, managed to limp behind friendly lines but then had to crash land. I did it! Sure, the landing gear broke, the screw is scrap and I came down way too fast and steep, but I lived. And since there was no airfield close by, I doubt it could've gone much better than this.

Now I feel motivated to learn actual landing and starting. Tried some starting before, works just fine even though everything seems to pull to the left quite a bit. Probably my flight stick acting up.

 

[Kobrag]

He used landing gear in rough terrain?

It's a bigger miracle that he survived. 

 

[Wellenbrecher]

It was pretty damn even. Russia and all that.
Also I felt more comfortable with more space and stuff between me and the ground

Steam is running the latest official patch. The newer patches are made by a third party group whom Maddox gave the development tools, AFAIK.

That's your good buddy torque, actually. Same reason why most helicopers have two rotors.

 

[Lord Burgess1]

Most helicopters? I can't think of any that were ever put into production that had 1.

That makes sense. Now I feel stupid.

He. He. He. He. He.

Well MD should go **** themselves.

Just thought I'd leave this here.

Either you were lucky or those things can stand a **** ton of punishment
Do you sue an external program to take screenshots?
