Hi there

No sign of the game or any of our guys in the lobby... Is today's game already over? I thought there was a while to go.

All the best

Hi Jean-Luc

Aaagghh! I rebooted and now I can see Eetu in the lobby, but not you or the game.

All the best

I can't get back in, the site isn't listed. I tried hitting join players room, but that didn't do anything either. Grrrr

Hi there

My firewall was on a timer and turned back on - it killed my connection and now I can't see the game! Doh!

All the best

Hi all!

Server is now closed... sorry for the lag! I think it was my freebox modem again...
It was a nice game today! Congratulations for your first kills Rowan! You hit me several times...
See you next week-end!

Hi Jean-Luc

Thanks for hosting the game! The lag is frustrating, but the effect I got when I first joined was really odd - it was like my aircraft got a mind of its own... it just kept turning right and diving into the ground! (Maybe a joystick problem?)

The biggest hassle is trying to type messages - but it does make me a nice fat target for Eetu! I wish I could make my mic work - that would be great fun.

Thanks again and all the best

The weekend's just around the corner, and IL2-sessions as well.

I have one suggestion. Enable realistic landings.
I've tested that and it doesn't make landings much more difficult, only adds realism. If realistic landings are disabled, you can't break your propeller and you survive (and even bounce off!) from impacts that would surely wreck your plane in real life. I've had crashes in enemy airfields and sea, and it's kind of weird to have your wings blown off but your propeller's still turning while running from your burning plane.
