I stick to 1.5 the current release. It's buggy enough already, I'm not going to mess with the Alpha without a REALLY good reason.

I downloaded the Alpha because i couldn't see any multiplayer servers  :mad:

Wasn't sure if it was just my connection or not?

My brother in law is huge into DCS, I flew one test flight in it and uninstalled. Not paying their prices for aircraft I don't enjoy flying.

if you look up some "underground" sites, you can find a "mod" that adds icons to war thunders simulator mode, which makes it insanely fun.

it has a different feel than AH but all im looking for now is a stall horn mod and i'll be good to go.

I have literally played them all. Aces High is the best without exception. It does play better at U.S. times for obvious reasons.

How is the il-2 scene these days?
I know 1946 had a few busy servers, and COD had a few good mods, but this was a year or 2 ago! Anyone know if these are still actively played?

I fancy giving battle of staying rad a go also, but reluctant tof splash out if all the servers are empty!

I'm curious what you disliked so much about it? They DO have WWII aircraft as well as the modern stuff.

Is there one airplane that isn't buggy? or have a flight model problem? or other glitch that just defeats the purpose of flying it?

I still play Rise of Flight regularly, though almost exclusively in the offline career mode. Their lack of decent online arenas and the boredom of facing the same two or three enemy pilots every time you go up in the online play got old very quickly.

And I tried the P-51 on his DCS account. Hated it, by the time I was done (about an hour), I had no desire to even try it again. He showed my his A-10 and MiG trying to get me to give it a go with jets, but if I wanted to spend all of my time flipping switches, adjusting knobs and staring at MFDs, I'd have just joined the Air Force.

How many RoF aircraft and mods did you buy? I think I have all airplanes and all German field mods. I didn't like the way 777 partnered for BoS and just left RoF hanging.

Hey Micky,

IL-2: Battle of Stalingrad/Battle of Moscow are very active. They have some good plans for the future too with Battle of Kuban coming up then the Pacific theatre afterwards.

Do you have Steam or some way I can contact you outside of AH?
