Some pics of good old 2001 IL-2 just to show how good it still holds up. I started in August 2001 on the demo on the Hyperlobby. You could play 4 in a dogfight at a time that's all there was. The plane were the 109G-2 Sturmovik and a P-39 to chose from. That went on up until November when the game came out. Even when the demo was still being flown everyone was joining up with Squads and Jagdgeschwaders. One of the funniest moments was when Herr-Spray Uhoh7 Burn and myself..Hackl were flying in a dogfight mission. Burn was plastered but still able to dogfight . He wasn't speaking English very well, he was a Swede. Uhoh7 was from the States and had taught skying in Austria..strange
....anyway they could communicate with each other by speaking German. It was Burn and Uhoh7 VS Herr-Spray and Hackl all on the same Roger Wilco channel. Burn was yelling and screaming this German into his mic and getting drunker and drunker. We were all laughing so hard it's a wonder we could fight at all. By the end Burn couldn't even take off anymore. Good times
