August Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Cheers After Mr. BG's rather warm and friendly reply, here I am. It's proper to introduce myself, so here goes... I'm an easy going fella from US, more specifically MD. I played IL2 for a while just as it came out(and I do mean the Maddox's very first russian release). I prefer to think I was a-ok at it till I lost the game 3-4 years ago. And just recently picked up the 1946 to get into the sky once more. Never played the flight sims online, so I suppose I'll need some etiquette crash course. Oh yeah, I'm also surprisingly indifferent towards sheep cruelty. Hope to see you all in the sky one of these days, chances are I'll be that burning guy with a torn parachute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 As long as you point the end with the big fan at bad people and make them fall out of the sky by hitting them with the little metal bits that come out of your wings, you'll do fine here Welcome to the kennel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted May 11, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Welcome August, There are many people here who will be only too willing to answer any questions you may have, as lil-sparrow says, the only dumb question is one that you dont ask. If however, you find yourself down or in need of someone to chat to, about any problems you may have, I am here for you. You may find me in the "Downed Pilot" our local village pub chatting to the rather lovely Brenda (for more on these topics have a look round the fourm for my Priory Of St Oleg newsletters.) I am happy to chat about anything that is worring you, the more selatious the better, I am often in need of a good subject for my occasional sermons or to scream out when you are on my tail to stop you shooting me down and as always, cash will ensure confidentiality. Welcome again to the best dogdammed bunch of guys around. S! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Well, no stupid questions left behind then, here it comes: Complex engine management thing... Sounds like it'll take me a decade to figure out... What a borderline retarded person like moi to do about it? What realism settings are on/off? I saw some mentioned, but most were not. How about acceptable models? Don't suppose it's ok to toss Me-262 on some motor powered plane. Or am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 How about acceptable models? Don't suppose it's ok to toss Me-262 on some motor powered plane. Or am I wrong? During the dog fight portion of the evening, you can take whatever uber plane tickles your fancy. Co-ops on the other hand are for the most part reasonably historical in their match ups. If you start a quick mission in the game and hit difficulty there are two pages of switches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta7 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 CEM is really to do with superchargers , mixture, boost or WEP and proppitch and Ill throw in trim as well 1) superchargers- some planes have superchargers - these are used to increase the engine power above certain heights - some have one stage , some two.
