Thanks ATAG and developers

Great ! Thank you.

ATAG is the most populated server that I can finds with a reasonable ping.

There are a great group of virtual pilots that frequent the server and are always willing to lend a hand and give advice.

If you've got a head set, do yourself a favor and get on their teamspeak server. It really adds to the immersion.

Great fun

The Repka servers are very good as well, but usually aren't as populated during the times when I'm online.

I had a very bad departure with this sim. Performances, Su26 gone away few days before release. As an aerobatic hard fan and IRL pilot, I was expecting a lot with this plane. Knowing the quality of IL2's FM, I was very convinced it would be the best aerobatic simulator** (+ the best WWII air combat simulator of course).

I didnt touch it for a long long time, while 2 or 3 updates went out. I came back the last week. It was playable, I felt better FMs. Thanks to Seven 64, the "launcher.exe" issue is almost a ghost. I'm having very good time on ATAG server. Online, this sim is impressive and immersive, as Chivas said.

So I just want say to the dev: keep working, it's getting very good. And... hope to be able to fly the Su26 soon.


** And I'm still convinced, after testing some freestyle aerobatics with Me109. There are behaviors which are normally very hard to reproduce, like the snap-roll (which keeps rolling with neutral elevators) and torque-roll (propeller blast seems nicely modeled).

From the wikipedia article on the Su 26

The Sukhoi Su-26 made its first flight in June 1984

Why would they model a 1980's-era acrobatic aircraft in a WWII combat sim?

You didn't notice how many aerobatic team are born on IL2?

[baronWastelan]

Are the players on ATAG using TeamSpeak?
I hate texting for comms.

+1

I haven't been on Repka for a long time due to the high ping from where I live (mid 500's). But just reading about the progress and innovation that happening on that server is great. Also they are fantastic for the community passing on information on scripting and mission development. They are a huge asset to our community.

Cheers!
