Ah come on, after a day? Give it a bit of time! Everyone can learn this in a few hours' trying (with the right guidance). These planes can be a little daunting to fly at first, but when you get it - you get it.
And be thankful you don't have complex electronics systems to deal with there. Took me months to actually learn Falcon 4.0 due to that; IL-2, at a functional level, takes only days I think :p |

Yeah, I know...but it's just a bit trying. I'm pooped! :rotfl:
But hey, if you take away all the subsystems...the planes of LOMAC pretty much fly themselves. In IL2 one has to deal with planes of a bit more flimsey sort.

Hey, do you guys know of any good noob guides online or something. I love this game, but the training is lacking at best...and I'm having a very difficult time learning.

Patience my friend, patience Take offs are not the hard part, its one of the easiest tasks to do actually. best way for you to practice is launching a Multiplayer game Multiplayer > Host Server> game type Dogfight and launch Dogfight map 1. this map is flat as a pancake. now pick a base and pick a plane. if you die the game doesnt need a restart just press refly and do it again. when your in the air just mess with the controls a bit to see how the flight model respond.

Also, most planes in IL2 require some/alot of trimming to obtain straight & level flight. It's easy enough to do but for some reason it takes an age for the plane/trim to take effect.
This might help you - IL2 Community Manual - http://www.airwarfare.com/mediawiki-...itle=Main_Page

Improving
Hey guys, thanks to your helpful tips/links and my own patience, I've actually managed to become not so inept at maintaining level flight and taking off in all situations....on the other hand, my formation flying still truly blows , but I'm working on it. Thanks for the help!

I have several campaigns on going at the moment. I flit from one to the other as the fancy takes me.
I am using the Enjoyr patch thing but without DCG for now. A good campaign to get is a new one based in the Black Sea flying the LaGG 3. It is good as there is lots of immediate action and you don't have to fly too far. Also get the Flying Tigers campaign from mission4today. A P-40 againts Zeros tests your skill. You do well if you survive. Actually I need someone to explain to me succinctly how I get enjoyr to work well with DCG. I have DCG but I am not using the dgen replacement mode. I have downloaded enjoyr's patch version 2.22 and the one for if using dgen. I assume I install enjoyr patch 2.22 then the patch for use with DCG and then switch DCG to dgen replacement mode? |

Ok! Takeoffs are looking good now.
The only thing remaining is level flight/squadren flying. Any tips on these? Also, What is a good way to find 'true level' in an aircraft with no artificial horizon (ie. a biplane or early ME109).

What keys do you use for IL2 screen shots and where do I find the pictures?

Not to be pushy, but is there an answer to my previous question? How is one to find true level when in a bi-plane/plane without Artificial Horizon.
And, what is normal cruising speed for formation flying, because That is what I keep messing up.

If you use the "Guncam" view (CTRL+F1), there's the AH in the lower right corner. Quote:
Also, it varies by mission. On some missions the planes have been ordered to fly at full speed, in some missions slower than usual etc. Hope this helps! |
