8 seconds between spot a plane and head on cross

It happened to me last weekend, but the really interesting thing was that the other plane was camouflaged and I did only see the invasion stripes.

Often contacts are VERY hard to see in reality!

Thank you Il-2 Sturmovik and Track IR to give me the instinct to keep spotting planes when I just can't see them anymore!

Cool, thanks for sharing the experience... found it very hard to see the aircraft at first.

I cannot believe they got away with those colors, the terrain simply looks too faded. Revolt against that dev team! ;)

Do you have any idea what that plane was? I find the paint scheme to be highly "entertaining".

It was exactly this one, we all were taking part in an Air Navigation Race and they abandoned due the wind, turning to outside of the track. But the same wind deviated us from our track, so...

Nicely handled! I hope the other guy was aware of you, too?! Just shows how quickly it can all go wrong!!
