Default What is the hardest thing about the game?
For me its realistic engine management, Im still struggling with this, as I just about get to grips with using a real joystick..

The only thing hard about CEM is that we have no manual that gives us operating limits and settings for the aircraft, so it's all been a long road of trial and error figuring out how best to operate the various aircraft in the sim.

And, sadly the way we do it now will probably change with the next patch.

Some of the aircraft are so far off real world published operational data that it isn't even funny. (The air cooled radials suffer the most in this regard).

how long have you got?....for me though the worst thing is the constant crashing every 30 mins.

Seing a repeat of IL-2 series
2001:
IL-2 Sturmovik -> I gave up due to bugs

2003:
IL-2 Forgotten Battles: Gold Pack
-> I was affraid to buy due to my experiance with Sturmovik

2004
IL-2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles Ace Expansion Pack
-> I was affraid to buy due to my experiance with Sturmovik

2004
IL-2 Pacific Fighters
-> Bought it (as a bargain) and got interested again but not enough to go online or buy the successors

2006:
Ultimate Flight Collection
-> I was still affraid to buy due to my experiance with Sturmovik

2007:
IL-2 1946
-> The same friend who I wanted to fly IL-2 Sturmovik with came and said it was worth buying. I had become mature.

This took 6 years

Will it take another six years and 4+ expansions?
