Mav, you're right. Realistic has croaked. Those games were a blast. We need to pry the steering wheels out of their hands. However.....Sim has really picked up in the past week or so. I have had a bunch of great games with 8+ in the lobbies. Guys from Europe at about 4 eastern and U.S. guys around 10 at night. Lots of times I'm on I see you on as well, but you are usually already in a game. If I find a good one, I'll send you a message and ask the host to wait for you if u'd like.

I hadn't played IL-2 for about 8 months due to my very remote location, but after I moved in november and dusted off the PS3 from being in storage, I put my beloved IL-2 back in and guess what?...nobody was out there in cyber space flying around. So I decided to get in a little training time to get reaquainted with the controls. A little later I went back online and...no one was out there AGAIN, except for one guy in arcade in a CTA game. After that 1 game he disappeared. So I took my beloved IL-2 out and popped in my shiny new GT-5. One month later It's still in there..........

As mentioned I think it goes in cycles.
I'm the same as Dan and other IL2ers at the minute playing GT5. That said the IL2 regulars are playing GT together so in essence the game has been changed but the crew stays the same. If only IL2 had the options GT5 had such as private lounges and the ability to report or kick someone!
I really hope for a sequel but as stated elsewhere the lack of info does not inspire confidence but I live in hope.
The guys I play IL2 with are all enjoying the treetop crash fest tournament at the minute so I'll wait until that's over before I jump back in.

meh .................... GT5 dear me???!!!!


i really miss playing realistic i dont have the "equipment" for sim, and im not a big fan just prefer it!!!! again imo ofc realistic is more fun, sim is very serious with its flying clubs ect ect.............. though a certain aircraft was taboo of limits as no one seems to fly it teh spit's untill McQ messaged me to tell me to pull the dust sheet off it


bring back the days of epic strike, TB's and for certain players Dogfights................ and the air races


Redman sent me a message the other night, saying how no one plays IL2
