A POLE: How long have you been flying IL-2

[kestrel79]

I first played on a date with my girlfriend at the time back in college in 2003-4 at the EAA Museum, they were having a "Flight Sim Day" there. (She thought this was cool, lucky me

I knew from reading many reviews that IL2 and Forgotten Battles was THE ww2 flight sim to get, but I was in college and at the time had a mid 90s pc I bought at a garage sale for $50 as my web browsing/homework computer.

I got a low end Dell computer around 2004, which allowed me to at least play some pc games at lower specs. I went to Gamestop and saw IL2 Forgotten battles "Gold" that came with the Aces Expansion Pack, I bought it used for $15 bucks. What a deal.

I've been hooked ever since, even thought now I've moved on to CloD.

Geez been playing since 2006, a bit of a late comer by IL-2 standards, I got it after I purchased blazing Angels. and while I did find it fun it was a little shallow, it also triggered in me a need to find something with a little more depth.

I saw IL-2 w/ The Aces Expansion pack at EB bought it and it promptly blew me away, I'm still trying to "master" it. Frikin Awesome

Since about 6 months after the original release, my son introduced me to it and I still haven't forgiven him.
