Cheers, and it certainly is. I'm over Dunkirk in the second one, which is also where Tuck shot down his first 110, iirc. Quite glad I didn't go after the Ju88's that time
i was flying the 110G-2 as a fighter recently, the only thing you can do is flying close to friendlies so they can bail you out.
What's up IL2'ers, I bought 1946 the other day. Can you recommend me a good joystick? I heard the Saitek Cyborg is good.
I own a non-FFB Cyborg Evo, it's a good joystick, very precise. I would definately recommend getting it if you don't want to spend a lot of money on Saitek's newer sticks.
The best joystick are by far the CH products in my opinion but they come expensive as you need to buy throttle , rudder and stick separately , personally , i have an old Microsoft Force feedback 2 , very precise , good strength of the mecanisms insides (tough and rigid unlike Saitek X52 for instance which feels like your stick is moving into yoghurt , very loose and weak ) , i got it since 2002 and it still work perfectly , it's really a shame Microsoft stopped producing them , they were by far the best quality/price compromise (very good quality for reasonable price ) , maybe too much quality as it costed microsoft too much money , that's really a pity cause now the choice is very limited in term of quality products . Then there is the cougar stick etc.. but for IL-2 i don't think you need such expensive stick , and moreover a friend of mine had to replace some spare parts of his cougar after just 1 year of intensive use , so i'm kind of sceptical towards it
Just stay away from Logitech is all i can say.
My Cyborg Evo is fine, although after about 2 years it's definetly more mushy than it used to be I also have to un- and re-plug it every once in a while to reset the axis.

I am having a problem with my game. It seems that I can get shot down, but when I hit the ground nothing happens to my plane. I will just bounce off the ground and continue on flying. This happens in singleplayer mode. Is there any solutions to fix it?
I think I had this one time when I played it ages ago. It should be something to do with the options. Not too sure though. I think I fixed it in the# end, but I haven't played it for a good year now.
Hope that gives you some sort of help
