From my view... the hole game is very hard.... played abit today :) and i crashed like 8 times on take off in on a multiplayer server hehe ... but its still fun..

this is also my first sim..

As its a game that takes alot of know how..seems also that you need to play alot around with key setups and such. get the setup you want..

Hope it helps :)

For me i find difficult to find interest in clod because of no gameplay and online i get shot down often but sometimes i make a kill or two ;)

i wish dynamic campaigns and a better computer!

The hardest thing for me is two things:

1) What El Aurens said. No documentation. I reread the manual in hopes of finding some info I maybe looked over the first time on how to start each plane up and not kill the engine. So far it's been youtube videos for me and trial and error, flipping switches and seeing what does what...

There should be a training mission for each plane that is an intro to the plane, similar to DCS A10. Explains the plane, a little history on it, and what everything in the cockpit does and settings to get it up in the air and blow stuff up.

2) Really bad menus and interface. I got this game for my brother for xmas, as we both flew IL2 together a lot online. It took us over an hour to figure out how to get online and spawn in and hook up and dogflight or fly with eachother. The menu and spawning system is so clunky.

I realllly hope they redesign this for BoM. All they have to do to look for inspiration is check out Rise of Flight. THAT is how you create a quick mission screen. It's all on one screen, very intuitive with dials not boring drop down menus.

Make sure you lock your tail wheel , it really helps .

Aiming. My joystick is all over the place , I can't get the cross hairs to stay in one spot , the rudder is hyper sensitive . It seems like I 'm always adjusting the joystick sensitivety .The axis adjustments really don't make a lot of difference .
