Yes, ten to twenty years ago we spent too much time flying this sim. I have a screen-shot of the stats page for Spits vs. 109s server saved from February 2008 and that month I flew 37 hours, a few others flew over 40 hours, and one pilot named Mux flew 109 hours!!!

I loved the missions on hard-settings server where I would take off in a fighter with a bomb, fly at high-alt over the front line and drop it on a target, then hunt for and shoot down one or two other fighters before returning home safely. The stat I was most proud of in 2008 that month was completing 86% plus of 101 missions on hard settings safely, while most all other online pilots listed averaged about 50% over far fewer missions.

S!

It's good to see original IL2 video once in a while.
By the way, Fishyyy and Stephen197106 (see them in Youtube) are still doing the job. Views are fantastic with new graphics extender mode of Slibenli.
