Some names sound familiar...
When I cleaned my bookmarks recently I have found Greatergreen (inactive for many years) and few others. It was good in both versions (or were there three?) with nice community and no or very little abuses. I do remember happy boys on Yak3s. I loved that plane but converted quickly to P39, probably due to hidden masochistic inclinations - ah, those unrecovable spins...
Vulture The Great (VTG) was one the most funny and friendly place to fly. Crimea map with running time (including nights) and "non-flyables" operated with outside views.
Dedicated coop servers developed in more mature years were real breakthrough. It was so cool to meet AI in online fights.
When I reinstalled IL2 after many years of "retirement" and launched IL2 Connect program I realised that not less than 2/3 of my favorite servers have gone.
