Maybe this game doesn't hold your had like others I tried but wow, from what I saw it does NOTHING to help you get up in the skys for the fun.

I'm a 40 year old PC gaming vet so Ive seen many a game. It just seems like any game of this sort would help you out a bit more than handing you a text book to read.

Still want to play and so would my friends if it doesn't turn our game nights into grinding chore night!!!!!!

Hey there friend, I saw this post and I felt I had to drop in with a quick word. Though I can be of no help as to the multi-player aspect, I may be able to provide some start up help to a fellow newbie.

First let me say that I had never heard of IL-2 before a few weeks ago, when I found some Ytube videos from user "OneFJeff". I would HIGHLY recommend that you check out his "Let's Play IL-2 Sturmovik" series. He does a wonderful job, not only as a Let's Play campaign, but his videos also serve as wonderfully detailed tutorials (both with basic aircraft control, as well as providing great campaign play ideas) though his videos are not made in a "tutorialish" fashion.

I may also say that I now own this game, a brand new flight control system, and have probably close to 60 flight hours in various airframes(as well as becoming The Terror of the IJN fleet ), and this is only in 2 weeks! Aaaanyway, good luck with everything mate.
