Re: IL2 and other flight sims.
I've got 1946 mate. It's not bad either but due to some problems I had, I uninstalled it and only reinstalled Forgotten Battles with the Aces pack.
I enjoy flying the Komet and I have a single mission saved with 16 Komets vs 16 BI...I forget the number, but it's the Russian rocket plane. It makes for some pretty fast and furious dogfighting. I also have a great mission saved with 16 He 162s vs 16 P-80s. I've NEVER survived that mission.
I really like to fly the I-16 as well but it took me a very long time to master take offs. And I use the word 'master' very loosely...sometimes I still drag my starboard wing tip or even crash. One time, I broke my port main wheel off on the little tower by the runway. It made for a pretty interesting landing.
My favourite a/c is definitely the Messerschmitt 109 in all it's forms except the 'Z'. Easy to fly, stable in the air and excellently armed (not so much the 'F' series...the guns are small).
Of course I like the Beaufighter as well given that many RAAF units were equipped with them. We actually have an old Beau at the local RAAF museum. I have a photo on my fridge. It's in pretty fair condition too.
Have you ever tried to fly anything under a bridge? I have and it's possible. I once flew that giant Soviet four engined monstrosity (I forget the name Tu-2 I think) under a large bridge. It tore off my tail fin but I survived it. For stunts, I like the LaGG.
Peace.
