Ok, I used to play CFS3 and this thread has got my flying juices going. I'm happy to get IL2 but whilst reading the reviews on Amazon, I'm finding a few people complaining about the copy-protection.

What I'd like to know from you guys is will this be likely to be an issue like St#rforce?

I'd really like to get back into flight sims and I'm loving what I see from the screenshots, I just can't be doing with stupid, problematic protection.

Dug out CFS3 and had a play. Bit rusty can't remember all the controls, but had fun none the less

Me and the boys on the way to visit St Nazire

After visiting St Nazire things got a bit sticky

Quiet morning on USS Ranger CVA-61. Two ship CAP on the cats.

And Tomahawk flight is away! Gulf of Tonkin looks serene as we climb and start our patrol.

Formed up and heading inland a bit. Beautiful morning as you can see, somewhat foggy.

Red Crown alerts us to a handful of MiGs scrambling from the nearby airfield. We get the clear to engage and we break.

Tight turn with a Fishbed - exactly what NOT to do with an F4 (why do I still have my tanks?)

I hit the breaks and he overtakes. I wait until I get a good tone, call "fox two," and smoke him with a Sidewinder.

I bag two more, Tomahawk 2 gets one. Back to home plate after a successful patrol!

Which game is that fatty?

Looks like Wings over Vietnam.

Dowly, care to reveal what servers you like to fly on and what your HL username is?:|\\

Two UK server I like:
195.149.21.215:21000
195.149.21.12:21000

Oh and I dont use HyperLobby. Just ASE. But my flightname is Dowly too.

Why not? HL kicks the @®$€ off ASE...:rock:
The UK.ded servers are my favorites too, I guessed your screenies might be from them as Sepp flys there a lot.

-SBJ

Yeh, Sepp was there with the "Krautz"-guys. Flew as their escort few times.

Oh and why I dont use HB? I CANT FIND A FECKING DOWNLOAD LINK ANYWHERE!!!! :rotfl:

O_o o_O
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh ffs, Dowly! :damn: One little typo; Hyberlobby instead of Hyperlobby. :doh:

GSpector nailed it, Wings over Vietnam :)

To Fatty,

Not sure if you have it, but have you downloaded the update that uses Wings over Europe sky's.

From what I've seen, it adds better clouds in WoV.

No sir, that was the absolute barebones fresh install. My brain was toasted from studying so I wanted to zap some MiGs for a break and put it on. Will get around to updating in a few days :up:
