First off, for those who like to fly the 109, here is as video demonstrating how to properly fight with it (thanks to Showtime for passing it along):

Boom and Zoom

Also, here are my settings for the chat window which shows important information on the screen while flying, i.e. damage to your plane, server messages, etc.  Just open your confuser.ini file located at X[drive]:\Users\[your name]\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD and add it under [chat window]:

Thanks Griff, I'll give them a go later.

For anybody looking to get their hands on a copy, Amazon have got it for $14.50 or $19.99 as a digital download

Good video, shows the virtue of patience!

Yep...it’s a great video. It shows that this thing is (almost) untouchable if you fly it correctly.

In fact, IMHO, the biggest threat to the Bf-109E is the “forced labor” making crappy radiators somewhere in a dark bunker in the Ruhr...
