IL-2 question.
 

I'd like to get Il-2 for my computer. The two Il-2 products on steam, are Pacific Fighter for $19.99, and Il-2 Sturmovik 1946 for $9.99.

I'm a little confused on what I get with 1946. The box says 5 games in one. Does it include Pacific fighter? Should I only get 1946? :doh: Help is much appreciated.

Get 1946. Not sure why Pacific Fighters is more expensive, but 1946 has all the il-2 games, including Pacific Fighters.

Good luck.

:up:

Ah. Thank you. Buying and downloading now.

Yeah Pacific Fighters is 19.99 on steam, even though its only 9.95 on D2D.

I would get IL 46, because it has all the versions of the IL2 series in it, including Pacific Fighters. Plus, with 46, if you want to try the various mod packs that are out, a fully patched IL 46 is needed.

1946... includes picific fighters, and il2 with the addons...

IL2 1946 has everything ever released to the franchise, PF included. (sorry, saw everyone else spamming, so couldnt help it. :haha:)

Ditto.. :DL

and this thread belongs in the flight sim section...

But if it was in Flight section, it woudn't get spammed :D

Dont encourage him Kratos. :DL

This IS a 'general games forum'.:)

I would've put it in the Flight sim area, but wasn't sure on how soon I'd get a response.

I've been playing the game for the past 3 hours, its quite fun. Although I've only managed to do a lot of crashing. :oops:

I think thats how we all started... lol

There are no actual valleys in Russia. There are just places where I crashed my Il-2.:DL

I just retried the same mission 6 times because I kept crashing my HE-111 during take off. :haha: I gave up for the night.

In the He111 you should lock up your tail wheel before attempting to take off. You should also know that your brakes are connected to your rudder so if you step on the right rudder pedal and apply brakes only the right wheel will be braked (is that the right English word...sounds so strange...). This helps you to counter the engine torque and the slip stream of the propellers that want to sway your plane heavily to the left on take off. The rudder alone won't be enough because it is not located in the air stream coming from the propellers.
Even for experienced pilots the He111 can be a handful on the ground.

Maybe you should try to fly planes that can be controlled easier on the ground until you are familiar with their handling. I learned how to fly on an Il2. It is forgiving, stable and has a very sturdy landing gear.

And treat the joystick as yer dick, dont pull and yank it, it only prematurely ends the fun. :salute:

Yeah, that and try Drink. Everyone flies better when drunk.:DL

Most definitely. :D

I finally flew the mission properly last night, on my second try. I guess I should bind a key to lock the tail wheel.

Whats the proper way to take off? Hold break and rev all the way up to 110% and then let go(which causes me to spin out of control most of the time). Or to throttle up to about 60 let go of the break, and then throttle up to 110%?



:rotfl:I have to be gentle with it either way because it pulls up and to the left. I need a new one.
