Recommended training course for new pilots

[coolts]

Hi guys

I bought IL2-Cod on release and have looked into it a few times over the months as the patches have rolled on, thinking “I’ll give that a go when it’s fixed”. As a DCS:A-10 public beta tester and now playing Falcon BMS4.32 I have my hands full with things that are in the process of being fixed

(I think of good sims as an investment and am pretty relaxed on bugs as long as the devs are working to fix them, (silent hunter publisher abandonment anyone?), and Maddox have a great rep with continued support for their games so I’m not worried here and gladly paid up).

Now that the ranting has died down a bit, it looks to be playable. I have a couple of queries;

• As the manual is bollocks, is there a proper flight manual PDF anywhere? (I need a cockpit layout, ramp start, etc, etc.)
• As the training missions are bollocks is there a guide to them somewhere? Or proper (press this, pull that) training missions?
• Is there a WIKI?

Apologies if this info is readily available but a rummage through the forum gave me more questions than answers.

Cheers in advance guys
