I'll respond here because I didn't see it in the O'Club.
For playbacks, play the selection and then hit the "Esc" key. A menu should come up with a couple of switches and exit game or something liket hat.
There should be one switch that mentions manual view control. You want to flip it opposite of where it is. You MUST do this after you have begun playing the track, otherwise you will be stuck in the middle of nowhere halfway between the ground.
For screenshots: Printscreen key. They are saved into your Il2 folder as grab****.tga. Everytime you exit the game and restart, and then take screenshots - the old ones will be overwritten.
For practicing takeoffs and landings, the best bet is to go to the multiplayer option (while you are disconnected from the internet), host a dogfight game. Be sure the difficulty options are to where you like it before you start up the game. Takeoffs and landings MUST be selected. Select a map (really, any of them will work so long as they don't list a certain year only in their description). Choose your base by clicking on any of the colored bases on the map. Select your plane (theres a button for that along the bottom of the screen), plane's skin, nationality (if you wish), external armament, and fuel. Once you are all loaded up, click fly and enjoy. Anytime you auger in or mess up your plane - press esc, choose fly again(I think thats it) and then you'll be back at the screen where you selected your base. Click fly again, and repeat until you're satisfied you know what you're doing.
