Best thing that happened to IL2 is the hyperlobby client that connects everyone to coop, online campaigns, and join-in-progress team on team missions.

You can download it here:

Other than that the only modding you can do is collect and replace aircraft and pilot skins.

this game is beautiful on perfect settings. Thanks for the tips guys, im gonna spend the next couple days learning this. Whooo, what a curve for someone who knows so little about aviation

Ooh, then you chose a nice place to start

IL-2 is very intuitive, I'm sure you'll be flying high and landing upright in no time

there you go, on that site you can download many cool stuff, like campaigns, and skins etc. I'll link to some of my favourites:

http://mission4today.com/index.php?n...etails&id=1856
Campaign where you fly as a pilot of the Peruvian airforce.

http://www.mission4today.com/index.p...details&id=309
Campaign where you play as an english fighter pilot at Malta (Map:Okinawa)

http://www.mission4today.com/index.p...details&id=116
This one is very good. A campaign where you fly as an greek fighter pilot during the italian invasion, and then later the german invasion.

One thing I like in IL2 is the crazy voices more so the Russians.

Ol No what you doing..........No.................Good kill.............

Funny, one moment they throw the book at you and the next they praise you to the Sky's. :rotfl:
