Hi All I've got a few questions about IL2 I'm hoping you can help me with: 1) Are there radiator flaps that can be opened and closed to help regulate engine temperature? If so, what are the key commands? 2) Can I select which fuel tanks to use? For example: Internal or external (drop tank); fuesalage, main or reserve, etc. Are there key commands for this as well? 3) Is the gunsite range finder functional? If I set convergence for 200yds, can I use the range finder on the site to determine when the con is at the convergence point? This would be especially useful when flying with no icons. 4) Is it possible to map the right and left brakes to the toe brakes on my CH pedals? Thanks,

I enjoyed flying with everyone Saturday night. I had to leave early as it was Father's day weekend and the family had some plans. First time I've ever flown custom missions on a private server. Seems like an excellent venue for flying historical mission profiles. Perhaps I'll learn how to build them.

Not being a member of the squad, I didn’t vote. But I will offer an opinion……. My favorite planes reflect my interest in the early to mid-war period; a time when the Allies fought their way back from the brink to total air superiority. Here are the planes and the scenarios I like to fly them in: Hurricane I: Battle of France, Battle of Britain, Defense of Malta and the early stages of the North African campaign. Spitfire I: Battle of France, Battle of Britain. P-40B, E and F: Defense of Kunming, Rangoon and Port Moresby. The North African campaign. P-38F: North Africa and Sicily. F4U-1 and 1a: Battle of the Solomon Islands “The Slotâ€

Thanks also for the link to 4.05. One thing though, when I run either batch file the DOS command line opens and closes quickly which would seem to indicate the file is running but the game never launches. Any ideas about this?

Gentlelmen I've been flying Warbirds for about three years. Recently I decided to try a few other sims as well. I'm patched up to 4.04, have figured out how HyperLobby works and flown on a couple of dogfight servers. Right now I'm in the process of transitioning from Warbirds to IL2. I've found take-offs and landings especially difficult. Despite several years in Warbirds, my ACM is just "adequate" and I continue to work on that as well. I'm looking for a group to fly with as a guest that can help bring me up to speed. Once I've learned how to fly IL2, I'll start looking at joining a squad. My real passion for flight sims lies with early war scenarios. I like Allied vs. Axis matchups with historical plane sets, full realism and appropriate terrains. Battle of Britain, The North African Campaign and early war Pacific are some of my favorite scenarios. My favorite planes are the P-40, P-38F, early Spits and the Corsair. However, I'll fly just about anything and enjoy a good furball too.
