I think first you have to have a love of ww2 aircrafts. I've shown people IL-2 only ever start them on arcade settings. Most have no interest in the plane. They just want to blow things up. They tend to have no concept of a 4d environment and get lost/disorientated.

Very true... quick mission dogfights are a great place to start!

i convinced a friend of mine to buy 1946 a year ago, because he was astouned by the graphics shown in the developement updates of cliffs of dover back then.i told him that it would be useful to invest 8euro for 1946 to learn the fundamental ropes of flying and air compat.he did, but didnt like the old look of the game.now i gave him my russian version of cliffs of dover and he really likes the new graphics.but he isnt really an aviation fan and more used to play first person shooters.thats his biggest problem i think, as he focuses the next target, and completely ignores his surrounding.he is also a bit overwhelmed by the workload to master the planes.i also told him about the opportunity to play as a rear gunner, but i think that the decreased range and speed of movement of the turrets would even distract him further from the game.
all in all i think its really hard to convince people, who are not really interested in either WWII or aviation, of that genre.
but its worth the challenge!

Me too, some years ago, I introduced 5 friends of mine to Il2 series. But now I'm reluctant to recommend them CloD. Their machines are quite similar to mine, except in GPU, mine is more powerful than their. They are also not prone to experiment or twicking or modding the hardware. They are the classic customers who gets upset if things they bought don't work properly.
..and I don't know how do not agree with them.
At the moment I keep them by the reins...when things will get better I'll give them green light!.
Cheers
