Thanks!

Back to the Eastern Front!

I remember the back in 2001, walking through a COMPUSA store and coming across a title called "Il2 Sturmovik" with the aircraft in the pictures on the front cover.

I thought my eyes were going bad. At the time I believed that must be the only guy in the USA that read about the Eastern front and knew what an Il2 was. I don't think that I ever could imagine someone would build a simulator based on the Eastern front.

Couldn't wait to get home and fly it! I was even more amazed at the "feel of flight" and all the little details of the engine.

MS CFS II got uninstalled right after that - and even though I tried to reinstall and use it again over the years - it always was missing that incredible "feel of flight" that caused me to spend over a decade flying this sim.

Thanks for helping make my day one of hope, and fond memories Blacksix....
