Team, Should I focus on a specific plane or be a generalist. I know there are P-38 campaigns on right now, but wasn't sure if I should focus there or with another plane. Any suggestions? Cockpit notes mod is really cool, thank you for sharing. Currently bidding on eBay for some rudder pedals.

Thanks again for the warm welcomes. Spent most of last night watching YouTube videos on engine management and will work on my key bindings this week. Trying to decide if I need to purchase rudder pedals or if I can get by with Joystick and Throttle? Any thoughts?

COMPLEX ENGINE MANAGEMENT - Okay, I will practice up on complex engine management prior to requesting server password to join online battles. TANKS - I have not done much with Tanks as that is a module in IL2 I have not purchased yet. I have all the flight modules; however, I just haven't tried tanks. - Thanks

Hi Danderdogz, I recently got back into IL2 just a few years ago after moving to north west Arkansas for work and getting a VR rig with Reverb 2 headset. I always wanted to be a pilot as my grandfather was a flight instructor throughout WWII and I have some of his gear, books, and training models of planes and ships. However, I ended up in tech world and use IL2 to scratch my itch to fly and love of WWII aircraft. I have completed most of the missions, scripted campaigns, and a few careers. It took me about a year, but I finally started playing the scripted campaigns for Flying Circus in VR and love the open cockpit experience (should have tried it sooner). I have been wanting to dive into DCS; however, I think I will save that for when both kids are in college as I don't have the time to dedicate to it between work and family life. At this time, I am just looking to get involved as I think it would be fun to collaborate on campaigns. I may have a little learning curve if manual startups are required, but once I know the requirements I will make sure I am prepared before joining any online campaigns as I am not fond of being the weak link. Does the team fly with Complex Engine management mode? Took below pic at Rockford Airshow in 2006, in Rockford, IL.

Thanks everyone...I will go post on the recruitment thread.

Hello from Arkansas, I have joined the site and would like to be able to get access to your server in IL2 - Great Battles. I picked the game back up a few years ago, but used to play IL2 - Sturmovik many moons ago. How does one become part of the team and gain access to the super secret server password as I have exhausted single player and campaign modes? Thanks,
