IL2 Birds of Prey: Hints, Tips, and FAQ's Thread

[Crosshair14]

I suggest that Il2-sturmovik should add more planes. And make the ability to create squadrons.

Hi All,

I'm new to this game and the forum. Loving it so far, should've bought it sooner.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone here could comment on the ThrustMaster T.Flight HOTAS X For PC/PS3 flight stick. I want a stick controller now that I've finally been able to fire this baby up. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I did refer to the flight stick threads but unless I missed something it appears that there is no particular mention of the stick I have mentioned.

If it's on default then hold R3 and move the right stigk round to the left or right (I think, long time sinsemilla my last pad game!)

Oh right. I guess I thought you could literally check 6 as if you were using out-plane view in arcade mode. I guess that wouldn't be very sim-ish though would it?

It appears as though I'll be learning things about this game for some time to come. In the meantime though I better get stuck back into it!!!

I've been checking out some of those screen shot pics and they're awesome. Props to all.

Tell me though, how do I screen grab on PS3?

Very easy. While the game is running press the ps button and scroll over to the camera icon, and down to take screen shot then it it will go back to the the game and prompt you to take screen shot.

Thanks trk29.

EDIT: Flight stick ordered hooray!!!
