Okay...my ummm offsprings setting up IL2 on my laptop. They still rolling on floor laughing. Granted I'm a land lover......tanks, jeeps, did I mention tanks?

Anyway, first attempt to take off ...nevermind. Ya'd think Second attempt better ...nope....::::background noise something aweful....sounds like 3 kids laughing their $#%@#$% off. Re-adjusts radio with a whack.

Several attempts later is easier cuz i know which way to approach runway...just look for all the smoke from previous wreakage billowing up into the air an head that direction. Alignment bad on front wheel drive...pulls hard to left....:::dang single props.:::: dont we Midas size anything?

okay ...:::deep breath:::: I'm left handed ....hmmmm... sounds like good excuse. Lockheed, Boeing, and Mc Donald Douglas (hehehe) are sending more aircraft.

Before takeoff attempt...I kick tire muttering ya bettah be a good one.

Ready...left pinky on "Z" key, pinky number 2 on X.......left index finger itch'n to press F or V if tires ever leave ground. any spare fingers on "B", throttle, and Control E for scuba gear when crash into water :)

P38 M model is mine.....it's modified.....on take off each wing clips ground once before take off...woo hoo i'm air born kinda..... looks like a disco plane doing the la bomb-ba. Me thinks plane is very healthy with all them arobics..... Stay tuned .... I might kill sumpin :)

Nice one Mongoose

We all startd like that, don't let the kids get to you. Come join in the Squadron fun one eveing and we will get one of the older hands to run you through the basics. Start reading the Manuals I am posting in the CVG-12 Site. That may help.

OK, anyone with even a shred of honesty ... will respond with similar story, although maybe not so funny :)

IL2 and Pacific Fighters series is a 'sim' ..... which means you need to go to flight school before you jump in the cockpit :) Given that you don't really DIE .. its a game. So yo can just keep jumping in that cockpit and keep trying OR you can READ THE MAINUAL and pay attention to the instructor: Piolot Officer Gosling.
Dear Mrs Mogoose,
We are sad to report your dude has been killed in action due to being stupid. bla bla bla

Secretary of the Navy,
hehe.. Seriously, you hve to crash and burn a few times.

One thing that can help is to make sure you have the keyboard mapping set up something similar to your instructors so you can follow a take off and landing script. I've never seen any mapping printed where I could copy it ...sorry. But, I'm sure the guys around here will get you up and flying in no time .. if that is what you want you swabbie!

Mr Mongoos is a submariner .. he's just a little confused above the waves .....
