That's exactly why I started building a simpit. I don't really want to build a huge cockpit in my room, but it was the only way to implement a proper floor-mounted stick.

And this:
"The same will be the case with BoB. We won’t balance anything to keep the sides equal online. Anyway, it’s not the plane, it’s the pilot. You win by working together in a group, using superior tactics, and knowing your plane’s capabilities."

Very well said!

Don' know how you can stand all the remarks people make. I put my JS, Pedals, Throttle, Headset and tracker in the cabinet when I'm not using them.

It is common practice for my wife to show friends around the house, and my office is not off-limits in her little escapades.

My wife chortles 'giggles noisily" when she trys to explain to other persons of her ilk (non-simmers)that I fly the computer with that stuff. You'd be surprised at the response of people. They do strange things like...roll their eyes, turn-a-way shaking their head. They also make that noise where they press their tongue on the back of their upper front teeth and suck their tongue and make a little tsk tsk sound.

Just put my stuff (the good stuff) in a cabinet, until I'm ready to do some damage to my little neighbors (the AI or online enemy).

Oleg is on target. This IL2 raised my awareness for the first time about the Soviet airwar. Americans have been in information blackout on Russia and still are for the most part. I have bought up every Russian air war book I found for these past years.

Hope everyone has a great day. It was excellent getting a good update from Oleg... Ahhhh! nowfor another cup o' coffee.
