Hello Everyone and special hello to recuitment officer I would like to join your Axis Squadron I have IL2 Forgotten Battles and lock on. Had about 20 hours flying props over the years and 5 flying jets I would say I'm a novice but am willing to learn and would like to be a member of a team. I have hi spec PC well 1 year ago anyway but more than enough for this Sim i got 2.2 meg ADSL and getting trackir 3 pro plus vex add-on next week. I would like to fly JU 87 the "W" shaped plane. Now the really sad part I always like the look of that plane, from a child and I think I even built a Airfix model of it once mmm thats about it I think please, Reply Thank You !

S~ You may want to look for the gold pack bro.. it should have all 3 in it.. and probably cheaper than buying just two.. You have to have all 3 plus the patches to fly with anyone in the hyperlobby pretty much. Worth every penny imho

Ok me back again I bought PF today plus a new headset old one a bit beat up. I ordered AEP from Amazon. I would just like to ask how thinks work on line do u PvP or play co-op missions or both whats the story? Also as am a novice will it be like jumping in at the deep end? Do you meet up to practice/train? Last of all how am I going to close my skill gap between u guys has i don't know much plane stuff prop pitch opening and closing plane rads is all ?? to me. P.S. when playing a quick mission to learn plane dynamics and moves to learn to fly. I play attack Airfield 1 plane me no other enemy planes just AAA def and I can't take AAA out maybe I take out 1 then dead is their some special technique to this as training mission very vague ! THX

NP bro,
We wait for u , if u need things sorting out or wait for AEP, Thats no problem for us. In the mean time u are able to fly online in the old IL2 HL rooms , if its still active and if there are human pilots than play wiht tham. Just enjoy it a bit till u got the Full game ready to rock.
Track I.R. 3 is not used by bomber pilots , for us Bomber pilots it have no good function. For Fighter pilots its a big plus. Alpha cane explain u more on that bro. Ok bro we wait for u and keep contact wiht us. And dont forget ask help if u need one.
S! I/KG26_Oranje

Nope.
Sorry bro buht for bombing u dont need it. Its working against u if u using it for Dive , level and ground atack. We fly a lot Stuka`s and he111`s and no one from the SQD used it anymore. Its for Fighters not for bombers.
I never used it and i dont have it so i speak only from what my SQD members tells me. Dont use TR if u are planning to fly bombing duty. Ask Alpha he cane explain the + and - points on tr3.
Greatings bro.

Hi TIR works fine in IL2 after some tweaking.
Depending on your stick and keyboard setup ie: If you need both hands to use your stick X 45 style then TIR is useful otherwise like me i have keyboard on the left mouse in the middle and stick(MSFFB2) to the right this allows me to use the mouse in my left hand to look around but i do sometimes use TIR for tailgunning of if I fly full real servers with locked cockpits.
TIR can be your friend but also an enemy at times, it can just suddenly drop to the view of your cockpit floor and require F12 to be hit for a reset, not nice if it happenes right at a crucial moment in flight or ground attacking.
Pros: Frees up you mouse hand Its easier to follow enemy(conditions related) Tailgunning is 50% better views.
Cons: Lock ups Can cause lag Can cause a bit of nauseau if not setup correctly.
