Hello All! I hope this is the right place to put this but I found your post on the BoX forums and thought I'd have a go. Been flying for a long period of time in various flight sims and spent many hours in all the IL-2s, almost to the point that I can't bring myself to look at my hour counts on Steam I live on the West Coast in the U.S. but tend to be free for other timezones now that I've got my Sundays off from work. I tend to focus on fighters and have flown German for the most part but am willing to fly whatever is required. Thanks for your time and hope to meet you guys if I'm able to fly with you all. Walker

Should be doable for me, though at that time on a Saturday night, I could be drunk. I am an expert in removing factors though, especially drunk.

moar stuff Hello! We are currently preparing version 4.009 for release, the process is not easy, but we hope for its successful completion very soon. In view of this, the diary today will not be very detailed, but the topic is interesting. Today we show you the P-51B / C being developed for Battle of Normandy. This single-seat fighter is the predecessor to the P-51D previously created for Operation Bodenplatte. Although she is a predecessor, the B/C model is somewhat superior to the D model in speed at ground level and maneuverability. The reason for this unusual situation is that the teardrop canopy creates more aerodynamic drag than the high-backed design. In addition, the P-51B / C is somewhat lighter than its successor. In the sim, the aircraft will be presented with a set of modifications allowing the use of two engine options. The first version of the engine is the Packard-Merlin V-1650-3, created on the basis of the Rolls-Royce Merlin 63. The second, more powerful version is the V-1650-7, which was based on the Merlin 66. 150 -Octane gasoline will also be an available modification, significantly increasing the capabilities of the power plant. It should also be noted that our P-51B / C will come with a rather famous modification - a special canopy called the "Malcolm Hood" which was used in rather significant numbers by Mustang pilots. There will also be as many as three options for gun-sights, one of which will be gyroscopic. All in all, it should be a very interesting aircraft, with a wide range of equipment options and outstanding flight performance. Like the P-47D ‘Razorback” the P-51 B/C also flew in mixed squadrons as units transitioned from the B/C to the D.

Too true, I have only been here a few weeks - the chains around my wrists and ankles are really starting to chafe now 😲 Welcome Walker, I shall look forward to sharing the newbie cell with you

NO.

Yeah, the MOD part is no longer valid, you should just use the normal standard path \Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover

They don't make 'em like this anymore!
