    Hello together!

    Hello!

    My Name is Steve, I live in Germany but am also half scottish. I used to have loads of fun in IL-2 Sturmovik (with mods, but for the life of me can't remember which ones - I think I got them from here...)

    And remembering the good old times I went through my stuff and dug out my trusty X52 and TrackIR 4 which I bought around ten years ago. Thought of giving COD another go after turning away disappointed after I bought it. Would love to find someone with some spare time to give me a jump start into the game. I never played with "full real engine control" back in the days, but intend to do now.

    Is my equipment still usable? - Even if it is I am considering to get a new stick. Recommendations?

    I am hoping to relive the good memories I have of IL-2 Stormovik with you guys!

    Best regards

    Steve

    PS: Please excuse my grammar and / or spelling, although I am half scottish, I was raised speaking only german and had to learn english myself, when I stayed for some time in Scotland to work there.

    Re: Hello together!

    Welcome back Steve!

    Great to have old pilots back with us
    All that fab stuff with engine control can be well managed here and on Team Speak with the guys.

    For Allied aircraft it is all fairly similar, fuel cock/s, radiation closed, ignition (with throttle closed or close to) and waiting until oil pressure reaches 60lbs, then throttle forward (make sure to open your radiator again before you do this!). Then it is just monitoring temperatures a little and not overworking your engine.
    There are also one or two tricks to get them moving quicker, buttechnically the procedure is to wait haha. No way around it on the Beaufighter
    Axis aircraft have more complex systems to manage.


    Have fun, and I am certain the guys would love to have you over on Team Speak too, so check them out

    Yes there is thankfully or no one would fly it at all.

    1. Change from Cockpit to Observer position. (Change manned position keymap)
    2. Change from Observer to Cockpit position. (Change manned position keymap)
    3. Hit Alt F2 together (Automatically takes you back to Observer position)
    4. DONT TOUCH ANYTHING!
    5. Aircraft will auto start and warm up quick time at which point you can go back to the pilot seat and control your takeoff. Some fields allow the aircraft to auto takeoff but it feels weird from the backseat.

    Re: Hello together!

    Welcome Steve!

    Help is guaranteed here
    There are lots of Il2 1946 oldtimers around.

    The best way by far to get started is to get on teamspeak and jump right into multiplayer.

    Being bilingual might be an advantage for you if you want to fly both, on the red and the blue side.
    But naturally there are english speaking squadrons that also fly blue and our FG28 is German speaking and flying almost exclusively red.

    Tomorrow evening (around 20 German time) some of us will be online and you are welcome to join.
    We will get you in the air in no time, promise.

    Naturally there will also be some chaps around who will shoot you down again even quicker

    Re: Hello together!

    Hey, PHOENIX_SQUAD and herrybraun...another big Welcome to the ATAG Forum and Servers!

    It's great that you have found us! Welcome to the Summer of 1940 and the treacherous skies over Hellfire Corner. Whether you fly Red (RAF) or BLUE (Luftwaffe) you are very welcome. Ask any questions you want on this Forum or better still, on Team Speak whilst flying with us. I know PHOENIX_SQUAD has already got a few first sorties under his belt and like the rest of us is on his way to becoming addicted! Good luck with setting up herrybraun.

    Have fun and see you both in our virtual skies very soon! Salute!
