its all the matter of practice mate,
first when I played IL2 sturmovik (1st one)
I couldnt even take off for the first hour
after that I repeatly crashed my planes by stalling it
got shot down mostly for about a day or 2
got my first kill after 5 hours
now I shoot everything that comes in my path and bomb the hell out of ground targets
and I love it
its just a matter of knowing what a plane can do, and what a plane can't do.


you need to take your time to learn the flight model, it isnt easy but when you got the feeling of it. you wont lose it easily.
every plane has its own characistics which you have to discover and soon enough you will find a plane which suits your style.

CFS3 is nice, but I say above CFS3 I say Battle Of Britain 2, or wait for Maddox (IL2 dev team) new game Storm of War : Battle of Britain

Yeah... that's my problem... doesn't take me 5 hours to check out in a REAL airplane!

I have very little patience for finicky flight models. While I was browsing Amazon for MSCFSIII yesterday I happened upon something called the "Firepower" expansion which might just be what I'm looking for.

According to a GameSpot review, they spent a lot of time interviewing real WWII pilots and tweaking the flight models for what the machines could really do, rather than what was reported on the placards.

Anyhow... I think I might give this one a shot. Any of you seen or used the "Firepower" expansion for MSCFSIII?
