Can anyone shed any light on the matter? Do you know if any of the above will be optional?

Would love to just cruise around online in a free flight with some others, get some landing practise in etc and just generally enjoy it without blowing each other away!!! Or at least private lobbies so we can play our own games types if we wish.


Thank :grin:

yes



Thats not to bad then. You canhave a free flight with each other, set a time limit and just enjoy. Without the problem of getting shot down. A neutral airfield would be nice ;) soemwhere to land and relax with a brew for a few mins while the others fly around haha.

On the subject of "other" things to do in multiplayer, are there options to record online flights? From multiple views?

Basically can a player replay tracks from multiplayer and control the camera on the replay?

im on the 360 i afraid. You could always scrap your PS3 in favour of the more superior machine though lol.

One of the things i enjoyed most of CFS2 and IL2 on pc were the "hops" or free flight as simpletons know it :)

good old days.


would be good to have all but 3 players on the tarmac.... then a memorial flight flies over head... a bomber, with two fighters one on each wing before the fighters peel of and then come in for a landing followed by the bomber. Good times.

bahaha i love it!

haha, hey I'm up for that. I was hoping for some neutral airfields. Nice to practice online without been blown out the sky.

I remember my early days in IL2 - I'd take-off and get ripped down before I saw who hit me!

We should put a well placed bullet in each plane so we have a smoke/oil trail. Then we can do some (rather shot lived) aerobatics before the engines seize and we finish with some formation skydiving! :grin:

Man I've lost so many hours to GTAVI free mode. Nothing like messing around online. We should start an aerobatics team.

that's good so we can create Wing rooms, allowing us to practice at our own pace, doing manouvres and drillls.
