From what I see, there are two different approaches to IL2 and CoD. CoD is more of a simulator and IL2 is more of a video game. I started in flight sims because of IL2 and absolutely love it if I want to go fight and rack up kills. But CoD is far more complex and challenging if that is what I feel like. Skipping the CEM and airstarts, go to IL2. Trying to feel like you are in a real fighter? CoD for sure. I got a chance to fly the Collins Foundation dual seat P-51 and all the time spent learning the gauges and procedures in IL2 paid off. I felt really connected and at home in the airplane.
One other thing; I wish everyone would build at least a partial pit at home to do their flying. Flipping real switches and knobs changes it from being boring key commands to a real feeling of control.
Blackdog you are right. Dont take away realism, add more!! People forget that these guys pay attention to the forums and feedback, they are having issues but will get them sorted and it will be amazing.
