RE: Inexpensive Warbird RC Simulator
Hey Flak,
Sorry if I've confused you. By nature, IL2 is not intended to be an RC sim, but I
have figured out how to use it as one. To answer your question: YES, you could
theoretically have an online battle where all players are shooting from an RC view.
The challanges would be:
(1) Finding other players who use IL2 this way. I am the only one that I know of.
(2) Shooting accurately!
You can also drop bombs, fire rockets, carry drop tanks, and make your own aircraft skins.
Flak, if you get setup with the flight sim, I would be glad to try some online RC dogfighting
with you! Just let me know and I'll host a server. Cool idea. Like I said above, there is
no reason to spend more than $10 on the game. It's been out for 2 years. Check eBay.
Oh and like Mr.Science said, the flight modelling is superb. It really is a great sim.
I think that I probably should have shown a shot of the sim from inside the cockpit.
Maybe that would have avoided some confusion. Here's me in a P-51 cockpit escorting a
flight of 4 B-25s to target. All four of those guys are online players. Shortly after, contrails
appeared and 109's came diving in from above! Also, another cool external pic.
