    Just wondering as there's no Sim forum..I see they re-released this game with all the add-ons/patches on a DVD for only 20 euro..
    Super game for anyone who doesn't have it already..I've been playing it for about 3 years.
    :D

    Ye I got the Il-2 demo with my old gfx card, Played it at least 200 times I'd say, serious game, I've gotta find a new joystick now though. Seriously looking at this There is a nice few flight sims going with the play.com 3 for £10 deal (Il-2, Forgotten Battles,Combat Over Europe,Aces,F/A 18 Hornet). Played LockOn: Modern Air Combat aswell, looks the biz.

    Pacific Fighters was a real let-down, more of a 'mod' than a full game. Still, nothing like firing Tiny Tims at a truck convoy :D

    Played a third-party North Africa campaign for a while there with some friends, that was great fun.

    The X-52 is fantastic, Komplett are doing it for €99.

    I boxed up my x52 and my PC when i was moving house. I've since un-boxed the PC but the X52 and IL-2/PF have yet to be connected. I too can't face the humiliation.
    I'm hooked on Silent Hunter 3 at the mo.......nice and peacefull sea warfare will have to do before i decide to take to the air again

    Actually the dvd version is now only 14.99 in PC World !!!!
    Pacific Fighters was a let down initially but the free updates have made it a classic.
    New PE-2 addons and Luft 46 comming soon too :D
    I've got the X45 and it's fab..as for the learning curve a good joystick is half the battle oh and finding the fix tail lock key too for taking of and landing

    Excellent...really enjoyed it. Played it for years on end until middle of last year where I just kind of lost the will to play any more.

    Make sure you download hyperlobby . Its where the community mainly plays.
