FWIW I have come back to this project after a long hiatus with some new ideas and different tech. My previous approach was based on a desktop app framework that caused me lots of trouble with compatibility when upgrading and I gave up eventually.

So far I've just got the basics working - connecting to the server console remotely and passing input back and forth between the server and the app.

Nothing too interesting to look at for now but you can see what that looks like here:

 

The code is published here for anyone who's interested.

I spent some more time on this over the last couple of days and now have pilot management and some mission status features working. As you can see not all of the team colours work because there is no CSS colour for Salad or Olive but I don't imagine that will affect too many people.

 

Seems I'm not the only one who can't let IL-2 go. 

This was a nice simple to use little program. Unfortunately it tended to lock up for no reason after running unattended for a few day. Shame it never reached its full potential.
