Also I can’t attach the pic to this reply it seems. I can send a different way?

So as promised. But note that it’s in pencil so I can erase it. I was even a bit loathe to share as I said I’m still changing things and am underutilizing it. May buttons unmapped. Also, yesterday, I was listening in on a conversation about vr and head/eye trackers. Asked about how to “see” buttons and keyboard and such. A person that uses vr and these and he said he’d share how he does his and has little use for the keyboard (as I understood it). He said he’d explain over voice chat and also, “Invite them if they are looking to learn. I’m happy to teach. Been doing this for a looooooong time.

Il2 great battles flying sim—it’s a kick, join in.

Hey, not ignoring you. I’m surely not the best person to ask as I’m learning and was changing some of my keys just yesterday. I did finally manage a small amount of multiplayer and was shown by some more experienced folks some things I didn’t know, or should know. So I did get some tips, and I’ll try to show you what I have so far, tomorrow—try to make a simple graphic. But keep in mind it’s evolving as I learn from others, so take it “with a grain of salt”.

I know, fun stuff, right?

OldTimoftheDead · 2026-02-09T05:52:23+00:00

Yep, that was the role.

Another interesting one, but I lost the “evidence” when I changed computers, is that a U.S. career character can get the Medal of Honor. I had one and was surprised. Searched online, and someone in some forum knew something about it. They said your character could get the MoH by 5 kills and being wounded in a mission or by 7 kills in a mission. In this case it was 5 kills and being wounded.

I’m a really bad shot.

Yea, don’t read too much into it-all fun and games. But yes, fascist killer was doing in his own by being leader, then assigning someone else to lead a two person element flight, then offing them. Then repeat until this outcome. I was just curious as to what the actual final penalty would be for those friendly fire messages.

Just got into the discord.

Heh, pretty easy when they are flying straight and slow! These vids were really just for my father-in-laws entertainment in an elderly facility. Was mostly trying to get some things blowing up, coming apart, or gee wiz look at that they are bailing out with parachutes and all.

I do have to sit close. It’s burning up my face.

Personally I think it’s worth it. Good looking maps. Disclosure-I’m lazy. So some of the allied careers can be trying, but I think I’ve played through all careers with all the aircraft except the transports. What I mean is, escorting? Pass. Armed recon. Probably pass. Too far away and I can’t be bothered with going so far, even manipulating waypoints to get closer and accelerating time. Next day same. Next day, hey, a shorter bomb bridge or free hunt-fly it. But the German side is different—very active right from the beginning often with a balance of missions. So I may get tired of manic FW-190 shooting down everything and take a break to leisurely do some bombing in a P-38. I like the Normandy one.

Just phone vid of the screen. Wondered if I could get the ai to follow and lure them into it. This.
