Hi !
I am at work at the moment and I cannot download the game at the moment

So i just creat the thread to make people share their first impressions on this game

I have just waited all night long to download it argh...

I am waiting so much of this wonderful game that IL2 is !

So, I am new here so I'm from Switzerland and I am just in love of warbirds since I was a baby

Big fan of IL2 on PC I'am waiting this new version since the first screenshot

2 weeks ago I was with my brother to Duxford for one of the best Warbirds Air Show of Europe and since this day I can't sleep anymore lol

So share your opinion of the demo version !

Not great TBH....graphics are nice but you can only play in arcade

Really ?
Soooo sad....you sure you can only play on arcade mode ?
I can't undersant this choice...IL2 is a simulation first of all...that's really sad that the demo show only the arcade mode

Maybe it's a commercial reason ?...do not know... sad anyway...
ps: what's TBH ?
thx for your post

Altough Sim mode feels a bit weird to me, how can you steer without spinning?

First impressions are that it's lovely, everything I was hoping for. However unless I'm being a big thicky and not seeing the option to change it then it is almost completely unplayable for me without a flightstick. I'm too used to the primary flight controls being on the right with throttle and rudder on the left. Both from most other games I have played as well as twenty odd years of flying RC with a transmitter in that configuration. Even most flightsticks put the throttle in your left hand and I'm slightly confused as to why the reverse configuration is the default or only one available.
