We can do most of that now in IL2, but most ppl don't know really. Just see what happens on the average dogfight server after a new map starts: everyone taking off from taxi-strips etc, criss cross over the field, several ppl will nose over or collide into someone else. I know this is in part because in IL2 there is usually only one runway, instead of a square field, where a whole squadron could take-off together. But imagine if everyone could follow basic training as a sort of offline campaign that would include the proper flight procedures, it would be great for immersion and things would be a bit more organised (hopefully!) online...

I thought that the thread was about being able to handle and fly a spit or 109.
