Well actually I have not "Flown a REAL WW2 aircraft", only been a passenger and I suppose that that does not count to a legend like yourself. I have also clocked up many hours with a mate when young while he got his pilots licence. I just didn't have the money to do mine. My apologies for being such an unworthy peasant.

I also never said that Oleg is always right, but I haven't yet seen one of the mods develop their own game engine and produce a complete sim/game from scratch. Oleg has to draw lines in the sand at certain points and even that doesn't make him always correct, so get off the worshipping Oleg crapp!

I generally remain quiet in these forums and for good reason. It's blowhards like yourself that think that blurting out that you "Flew a REAL WW2 aircraft" (oh wow please stop so I can bow at your feet oh great massiah", that think that you know more than the people that spent thousands of hours trying to please every whining son of a goat that expects that they know more. BLOW IT OUT YOUR ARSE MATE!

I am not against mods and would dearly love to see how much this IL2 has left in it. But that does not validate hacking into code to achieve it, now matter how talented and well meaning the mods are.

I shall bid you good night now.

Ha Ha!

For someone that doesn't post much, I just cracked the 100 on this redicoulous thread.

Not that it's worth anything LOL.

Good night all.

If the I-16 model had native 6 DOF design, this might be possible. Since the IL-2 46 I-16 can't be given the "lean out of cockpit capability" of native 6 DOF models, we have to be content with superior rear view---which, thankfully, converts the I-16 into a "Mosca" from a trussed turkey with no rear view. I, for one, would love to see what the view would be like from a native 6 DOF I-16. It may be the bushwhack-proof fighter.

Thanks Xleit. I-16 is my second fave in the sim, behind MiG-3.

Why the name change? It might take some time for us to become well adjusted to this. :grin:

Yeah 100 pages. Happy New Year folks!!!

+1 Just so I can say I was here when this thread clocked the ton. :rolleyes:

Well, I guess you told me didn't you!!! :D

Anyway, Happy New Year to you!

BTW, clown, I have a degree in Military History, do you? Or Oleg Maddox? Again.......thought not! :D


DerAlte

errr. and that is important because of....???

Regarding these things I would trust an aviation engineer rather than an historian any day LOL

clown... makes me giggle :)

happy new year to u too :P

If you insist. :D

DerAlte

P.S. As he is a aviation engineer, I wonder why there are so many planes are inaccurate? Starting with loadouts, to CG when fuel tanks are emptied. Maybe he should have asked a historian about the planes, then the Corsair I would be in the game as a F4U-1. The Corsair I was used as a training plane, never seen combat under the FAA flag. Don't get me wrong, at this point in time this series is the best on the market. He really needs to be more carefull with the next series. It takes more than a engineer to make a accurate and fun aviation sim.

It amazes me how people constantly forget a few things when discussing stuff like this about this sim.

1-This sim is built on an engine that is what.... 10 years old? If I am not mistaken I believe this engine started out as a space sim....

2-This engine in it's current form is 7 years old..

3-There are over 200 flyable aircraft in this sim of various sizes & specs, each one flies a bit different.

4-I challenge any of you to find a better WWII combat sim on thre market.. or one that models FMs better than this one. Warts and all.. there isn't one. I tried the 1% planes from CFS, when I could get that POS to work on my PC with my FFB joystick... and IMO it is not close.

Personally although there are issues with this sim I would still rather see the FMs either totally locked or decided by one source... rather than a hodgepodge of diffeeing FMs for differing planes based on what people think is right. But hey.. thats me.
