F4U corsair, and the other Carrier planes,
in multiplayer you do not have Auto pilot so... better put on your swimgear
Yea the F4U, the other ones I don't have a problem with though... except when I try and land. :p

I use Ctrl-1 for Engine 1 Ctrl-2 for engine 2 and then I hit shift-E which selects all engines.

Funny one though was when I did a single mission flying the IL-2. As soon as the mission started with engine off the plane started sliding to the right and no matter wha t I did I couldn't get her to straighten out once I had the engine going even trying to unlock anad lock the tail wheel.

Indeed mate. The last one we had, where we fought circling battle, but in vertical instead of horizontal was quite a stressful. I feel sorry for my joystick for all the twisting she had to take. :p

Also, I and Kratos had one helluva dogfight, where I was just few meters behind him. All of the sudden, he's plane spinned, so I spinned my plane too to keep on his tail. That has to be one of the coolest fights I've had.

Again tonight?

I'm putting together a vid from last night showing all the dogfights we had, but unfortunately, my PC crashed and lost 70% of the work.

In the meantime, be afraid, be very afraid. :p

You guys need two unique subsim-skins for your planes (1 vs 1 team)! Years back, a helpful mind, I forgot his name (forgive!), made for me a special and very good-looking subsim-car livery for Nascar 2003 Season. I used it from that time on, and it really made a difference!

Indeed, but the problem is, there's almost 200 flyable planes in IL2 and we all have different taste, so who's gonna make ~200 SubSim skins? :rotfl:

Limit the subsim squad to use only let's say one dozen, or even the half of that. I always found the huge numbers of flyable planes more confusing than attracting anyway. Some of the time to create 200 flyable planes should have been given to some other aspects of the package instead. But maybe that is just me. I prefer my new Spitfire in FS anyway.

Perhaps the Navy planes? Oh...and the Spit...so I can look at the pretty paintwork whilst digging the front half of my plane out of the ground.

Sorry mate,
I saw you on TS tonight but I was in the middle of a game so didnt see the Text message untill I quit the game.

I suggest you just send message to Channel as if someone reads it and I didnt respond the fella would notify me.

better luck next time

If you take for example 1 of each type
so not the whole series of BF109's
just one model (preferbally the best)

just make a list of the plane we mostly use

1x spitfire
1x BF109 (A6 or the F4 serie)
1x FW190
1x LA5
1x ZERO
1x P40
etc etc

also dont make them dificult to make dowly

just keep it simple a nice color skin do all planes in the same color
with perhaps Subsim.com logo on both wings (top part)
and SAS on the side of the plane (SAS - SubSim Air Squadron)
