Newguy returning to IL2 1946 seeks advice

Lol im in the same boat, kinda

It's like, yeah I really gotta focus on my studies more now. (University)

Still I got this burning desire to try IL2 after months long hiatus from that game (trying out other games)

I've also been looking at modern air combat sims like falcon bms and lock-on on youtube, and i've been itching to try out those games, it's just I don't know where to buy them from LOL

Oh well, if I can still find some folks on the servers I might try it later in December or January. (coz I'm going to Lanzarote for Xmas)

Strangely enough for me, the following phenomenon happens to me when I come back to IL2 from a longer break.

My flying skills, finess and gentle touch are way better, everything is so smooth and easily controlled and easy to understand. But gunnery is a little worse.

Also, I gotta say I had a really hilarious time this Autumn whnen I got this special cable, (DVI maybe?) and I was able to hook up my PC into my 47' Television.

OOoof course I had to try IL2 online with that setup!

It went ok, except for the fact that I don't really have a proper table for that kind of setup, for putting the hotas at the right level (when youre sitting on sofa/computer chair)

I would need like a better table or some kind better setup how to put the joystick and throttel into a comfortable position.
