I was told you fly airplanes

Post by 12gabriel3 »

Im 27 years old and I used to play on mil sim groups on ArmA 2 and most recently on arma reforger. I really like coordination to get the most out of simulators. I've always had a thing for flying, event with only mouse, keyboard and wheel. Yes I used a steering wheel to control the throttle, brake and throttle for yaw and mouse for roll and pitch. I decided to buy a joystick and a good flight sim and I'm really enjoying it, especially the WWII sims (il2), but I still miss the coordination I had when I played with mil sim groups. By coincidence when I was playing on the finnish war pilots one of your members mentioned you flied very well coordinated and thats exactly what I'm looking for.

Well, that's about it, I'm looking forward to playing with you guys

hello
I think it is much better to fly in IL-2 with a group. It really is like any other milsim and there is a decent amount of lingo to learn. Learning to be a bomber/attacker isn't too hard once you get the basics down, but being a good fighter pilot takes much more knowledge, experience and skill.

How much experience do you have in the game so far and which "battles" do you have?

I always recommend new people watch these tutorial videos and I can tell you he has helped me a lot. https://www.youtube.com/@RequiemsACTL He has videos on how to fly each plane, basic flight skills, beginner dogfighting videos and more.

Also a great way to get some help is hang out in the Finnish discord, people will usually be on and will help you out. Find the discord on their website http://stats.virtualpilots.fi:8000/en/?tour=60

People have been spending some time on the FTC Teamspeak and we can help too.
