Icons off would be fine.

Would we still be allowed external views? I always fly with full cockpit on anyway.

I'd go for the full locked cockpit as icons off doesnt mean crap if you can padlock to enemy. ;)

I really want to learn to play IL2, better and that means going full realism. (in this case, locked cockpit, icons off.)

We can see where the other players are stationed from the main map when you pick your plane, so there's no need to worry that we would never find the enemy.

:stare:

wadda yadda badda.
stop talking you wuzzies :lol:

next time I toggle REALISTIC on.
means no pretty plane to see as only the cockpit :yep:
no Icons to see from a far distance, no Icons on the map so you cant know when they are close, no unlimmited ammo so you have to shoot wiseley.
no padlock so you have to use the different angle views in the cocpit to chase the enemy. means 100% realism!

and chock, you BETTER JOIN!
or else :arrgh!:

no back at easy pilots.
your death sentence has been delayed with a few days...Whuhahahaha:D
too busy with the map I,m building

:up: thats one nice video
really cool.

Yup, even if you don't like the subject matter, you have to admit, that's certainly one of the best editing and composition jobs of any FS video :up:

and yea i know the realism is off and vulnarability is off :smug:
but i had some fun shootin dem mudda's :D

Yes I did, big fan of the Fairey Battle, even though it was a bit crap in real life, good last bomb run on those hangars BTW, nice timing.

Real settings or not, there's no denying you were hitting stuff with your opening bursts there, that was some good shooting mate. That's one of my favourite places to dogfight in IL2, because if you stay low on those hills you can force a lot of the bad guys to crash if you're outnumbered:rotfl:

:D Chock

Hunter & I flying at UKDED 3 (Sry, Hunter, no externals. Next time, record a track & send it to me, so I can use it too.)
