I still think i'll be playing il2 quite a bit, but if the flight models and damage models in CLOD are as a significant step forward as what is being reported, its going to be hard coming back to il2, cause thats what its all about at core level.
that to me is more important than the eye candy, that's just a handy tremendous bonus.
you can do it either way.
personally i have enough buttons on my hotas stuff now, thats its all on that, but for years i used the keyboard for lots of things.
you can map anything to any button you want on a joystick really, in the controls section in the il2 gui.
you just have to find some arrangement that suits you.
@Rox, you can defiantly blow the engine on a 109 using manual badly. Only time i use manual on a 109 is for cruise settings, drops the rpm much more than just reducing the throttle with auto pitch.
we fly with complex management on, but it really isn't that complex, and won't take you long to learn the basics at all. personally i hate flying without that now, because you can't control certain things without it.
we tend to always fly with your own map icon on, so you won't have to worry about nav just yet!
Hi steve, welcome to the pound.
if you need any help getting teamspeak sorted, just ask, someone will get you fixed up
@BG, that link you posted needs updating, but the threads locked, says we're still flying UP2.0
Agreed. It's a good representation on the society as a whole though. More whiners with personal agendas and less responsible people thinking about the collective.
when you change your settings in the nvidia control panel, be careful.
must change the ones that relate to il2fb.exe, NOT il2.exe, otherwise they will have no effect.
