Does anyboby wanna fly Falcon 4 or IL2 at some point?

Well, I got it!

Pics of one of the new flyable a/c's (happens to be one of my favorite "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe")...

The Do-335A1 "Pfeil" (Arrow)



In flight



Gun test...that's an MK 103 30mm coax with the forward prop, and no, the two cowling-mounted ones are NOT machine guns...they're 15mm cannons! This baby was meant to tear bombers apart.


Cockpit...painstaking attention to detail, as in most IL2FB/AEP/PF 'pits...


Close call...after landing I did a 180 at the end of the airfield, only to realize my wingman was coming in...I had to rotate early (nearly ending in a stall) and bank to the right to avoid him hehe


Beautiful beast.


After the photoshoots I tested the "ancient" ejection system (among the first of its kind in fighter plane) and found out (the hard way) about non-zero-zero capability--I ejected too low and my pilot and his seat made a nice hole in the ground. LOL

I think I'm ready for some HYPERLOBBY now! Yeah baby! HORRIDO!!!

Hi,
So finally you have completed your setup, so see you soon. and i was hoping that in time many filipino would join you, anyway you could always join hyperlobby and meet other nationalities.

Tried HL last night, and after nearly a year of no sorties, it was a very humbling experience. I first joined "realistic" servers (i.e. no external view and force cockpit on) but I kept getting scorched. So I switched to a more "relaxed" server and finally bagged a kill, only to be killed while the Mitchell's tail gunner kept firing at me as he went down! Haha.

Yeah we should have an all-Filipino game PF+IL2FB+AEP sometime. Like the old "Falcon4 dance", all the annoyance of IL2 patching seems definitely worth it with the new pre-BOB flight model in there...things fly much like FS2004 warbirds now.

P.S. Strike that all-Filipino, I meant all-PFSG.

About 7:00-8:00 PM philippine standard time, which is around 2:00PM-3:00PM your time. I use rodion71. Let's try a nice "gentle" coop first if we ever get online together.

Hi everyone, I'm taking some sort of poll here, since Thailand and The Philippines are just an hour away. How many people would be interested to fly Falcon 4 or IL2 at some point in the future? My squad doesn't have any pinoys other than me in it. It would be fun to go online and fly and shoot each other down at some point in teh future.

Also what versions of Falcon4 do you all fly? I haven't gotten the new Falcon 4 Allied Force yet, but will do so this month or the next.

I haven't tried IL2 yet, but I've been a Falcon 4.0 junkie since 1999, the year they released the original Falcon 4.0. Now, I've upgraded to Allied Force, Sir. Unfortunately, I live down south like Rodion and here, only a few people dig flight sims. I think the connection here is a bit on the slower side of things, so I never got to play and mix it up with fellow Falcon 4.0 fans.

I've also tried Jane's F-15E, F-18E Super Hornet, Flanker 2.0 and Novalogic MiG-29. Let's just say I love fighter jets and the F-16 is a superb dogfighter, but I never got to enlisting in real life 'coz I'm too old for that. Hehe!

OT: Do you happen to know where to download the USN F-16N VF-126 Bandits Adversary Sqn skins for Falcon 4.0 AF, Sir?
