Welcome to the Community and Forums maxprime3...~S~

Checkout the 'Beginners Guide'...for info and tips...It will save you a heap of time in getting up to scratch.....and its a really fun learning curve too...

Beginners Guide

Windows Management Guide

Also try youtube for startup procedures on all the aircraft...

I recommend getting in the online server as soon as you can take off if that's ultimately where you'd like to fly...I flew single player for 30 minutes before I took the plunge...The ATAG online server is a great environment to learn and there's not really any damage you can do in there as a new player.....It is also mission based just with real players trying to foil your objectives...If you are concerned then pick an airstrip furthest from the front line (there always is one or two on every map) and get some alt before you go hunting...You'll get tagged a lot but there are tricks you learn out of pure desperation in those first few weeks that you'll be able to use later...I know cos I still use the same tricks I learned then too because they work...and never underestimate the stall to get you out of a tight fix...That sometimes works too...

TeamSpeak is optional but you'll learn a whole lot faster with it even if you say very little once you are on the server...You are quite welcome to just listen if you feel more comfortable with that....so you don't actually need a mic either...Try it and see!


Here are a few fun, helpful and interesting links amongst these forums you might want to bag for future reference...

Hi Max and Deltamelon.....we were all 'new' once and we all remember how it felt. That's why we are keen that you ask as many questions as you like in this Forum.

We have a wealth of very experienced chaps here, who really know their stuff so you will not go short of answers. Of course, Lewis' famous welcome post is the best place to start. We also recommend that you download Team Speak (it's free) so that we can talk to you when you go online. That's where all the fun is, where missions are undertaken and where pilots work together to achieve success. it's also where a lot of laughing happens and we wouldn't want you to miss out on all the fun!

Get stuck in and once you can get your 'kite' up in the air and (hopefully) down again, come and join us in multiplayer and say 'hello! There will be a warm welcome awaiting you! Good luck and ......Salute!

G'day Khan!

Welcome to the forum!
Always great to have new members come along and share the passion for these planes and the sim

Plenty of information to be had here as you said, and some great tips for flying. Hopefully we will see you in the skies over the Cliffs of Dover

[Sobilak]

Hi to ALL !!!
Czesc wszystkim !!!

[ATAG_Marlow]

Hi Sobilak and h.kan....great to have you here! You are most welcome!

You are begnning your Cliffs of Dover adventure at a really good time because big additions and improvements to the sim are only just round the corner. Now is a great time to get to grips with the existing aircraft so you are ready for the new. If you want real fun and excitement, down load team Speak (it's free) and join us on line for airborne copoperation, banter and rigorous air to air combat! It's all here and we'd love to share it with you.

Good luck and see you in our skies soon.......Salute!

Hang tight. Per my reply to your post in our Welcome forum, I’ve asked some key players in the Turk_ squad to contact you. They should be able to help get you in the fight very soon!

All the best,

Hello!

[TWC_Fatal_Error]

Hello Sir welcome aboard the ATAG forum any questions ask Marlow he has all the answers <S>Fatal

[ATAG_Marlow]

....I heard that! Ha ha!

Fatal's right, DrDe...in that there is masses of good info on this website and lots of servers where you can fly Cliffs 'Blitz.' ATAG have two servers available: 'Axis and Allies' and TFS3 Tobruk....but there is also an excellent server, soon to be running the TWC Campaign. This is a highly realistic battle campaign designed and run by TWC and a certain genius and larger than life character who goes by the name of....you guessed it...... Fatal Error! Get stuck in! Salute!

Welcome aboard Flieger!

[WhiteBear]

Getting back into IL2! Haven't fly for a long time. Used to fly online with N0 403 Wolf Squadron but for now will mostly play single player. (Not much time to fly multi!)
Thanks for all the works and keeping IL2 alive!

Ah, the "Hi" thread. Now I'm in it too

[aeronurd]

I'm new

Greetings all, I'm the "new guy" who will try not to ask really stupid questions. Well, maybe one - I just installed Desert Wings Tobruk - twice. I somehow wiped all the key bindings and I'm not even certain how that happened. I looked for some sort of default .ini file in the installation folder, but so far nothing leaps out as the obvious default keyboard setup. Now I wondering 'IF' there even was one?! Should I just 'bite the bullet' and make up my own? Just wondering if there has been any precedent for this...

Many thanks for reading. -.G.S.

Make sure you go into the game properties in Steam and uncheck the "Steam Cloud" box...

Now I wondering 'IF' there even was one?

Look in C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\1C SoftClub for a file called confUser.ini. This is created when you install the program and updated when you change keybindings.

And as Kendy says, turn off Steam Cloud.

Hello Aeronurd

Please take the time to read the 'Getting Started and Troubleshooting Guide'.... there are lots of suggestions there for solving this kind of problem.

For example, did you check to see if Windows is set to allow it to turn off power to your USB ports? This will kill your bindings.
