May 9, 20233 yr comment_83420 Hi Pilots, 1st: There is an IL2 sale running, much of the content (even the latest collector planes) are on discount => good chance for some new pilots to grab some items 🙂 2nd: Seems IL2 Development is really not dead, there are some very interesting plan(e)s, take a look on the current development blog: Dev blog #342 / IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles (il2sturmovik.com) They plan to add towable gliders!!!! Specifically the American Waco CG-4A..... => that adds the possibility of some very interesting missions... 🤩 Salute Etzel Report

May 10, 20233 yr comment_83431 Wonder, if they are doing the 153, think we might get the SB-2 eventually? Report

May 17, 20233 yr comment_83493 The novelty of a flyable Glider definitely peaks my interest. Â Wheels Report
May 17, 20233 yr comment_83494 The WACO CG-4A has a glide ratio of 12:1 and sink rate of 400 ft/min at 60 mph. Â You initiate landing by releaseing the tow line. Â Upon landing you become a rifleman. I prefer sailplanes myself. Report

May 17, 20233 yr Author comment_83504 Probably depends on the success of the 1st one.... Like it was with the Ju52, where with quite some delay the C-47 followed 😉  Report

Â Wheels Lol, I had completely forgotten that I bought the Waco glider. I think I flew it two or three times and literally just forgot I had it. I am not the least bit upset about buying the aircraft since it was a fun aircraft to fly I just got busy with other aircraft. The first thing I tried and succeeded in doing with the Waco was to loop it. Â Wheels Report
