This should be interesting...:hmm: Don't use anything myself, but could be interesting to see what's out there.

How does it fly?

Really good.

I got lucky and succesfully landed a B-29 on second pass of my first try.
it was awesome its like flying a building. A very smooth building but a
building none the less, The amount of anticipation and concentration
necessary was intense.

totally totally cool.

for the record since then I have written off a half dozen aircraft
in subsequent attempts

(ps. thanks to the Onkle)

Atm, I'm only using few mods on-top of the soundmod, but are they cool! :cool:

My 2 favorites are the high resolution cockpits for the 109 and my own new fire mod for burning planes which uses the flames seen on the rockets/rocket-engines in the stock game. No more fireballs spawning from the damaged plane. :p

I need to get back to modding and figure out a way to make the flames of burning engines etc. to emit light, similar to when guns are fired. Would look darn cool in night missions. :hmm:

As for mods in general and what all is currently available, all I can say is WOW! With what the modders have to work with, it's just damn impressive to see what all there's been made already.

I see some ppl starting to work together on mods, so I'd say after few months we just might have first big mod coming. :up:

Actually, I'm surprised how few bigger mods there has been. The coding stuff seems to be pretty simple, atleast the particle stuff.

Ah yes, Nightfighter campaign is on the top of my wishlist aswell. :up: I think you can get to fly the SpitMkI in action when CanonUK finishes his BoB map. :hmm:

D** where are all these mods! Ive searched the far corners of the internet(with the help from google) and I cant find a thing.:doh: I am tierd of the stock bf 109 sounds.

I'm finding it hard to believe you've searched the far corners, since a simple IL2+mods gives you the correct answer right on top of the list :lol:

I found them. Just not looking good enough.:rotfl: I guess I didnt think the wedsite would have mods.

Oah yea did I mention I was exadgerating.:rotfl:

Anyone care to list the "essentials" and save folks like Task Force and I from trying dozens of mods to find the few good ones?

Pretty please? :ping:

I for one found just getting all the planes but one I think flyable.
this alone was plenty.

some sounds are ok some sounds are not so great review prior to
installing, my stock engines sound great, the Abfab super engine
sounds sounded like someone took their mp3 player and recorded
a flight demo from you tube on their pc speakers.

its a start anyway.
