Nice video, Alotef.

Thanks Singue! Of course, none of this would be possible without the work of this excellent team of modders!

Yes, indeed, its a great model for the IL-2. I had a great flying mission just the other
day and it flies superb!

Mine doesnt work.... 

1: Downloaded/Installed the aircraft properly,
2: Inserted air.ini line appropriately,
3: Ran game, crash at 70% loading,
4: Re-downloaded/Re-installed/Re-insert air.ini for good measure...,
5: Ran game, game loaded fine,
6: I go to QMB,
7: Sopwith Snipe was selected in my topmost slot, so i went ahead and pressed the button to personalize my aircraft,
8: Once in the personalize aircraft screen, i scrolled the aircraft name up to the Nieuport 28 but it does not appear.
    The name Nieuport 28C(or whatever it is) shows up in the name window, but the aircraft displayed is still my Sopwith Snipe.
    Also, the weapon slot is blank displaying no words at all,
9: At this point i was wierded out and started hitting buttons to see what happened,
10: Nothing changed until i finally got to the Country slot and clicked on that. When i scrolled to a different country(didnt seem to matter
      which), the image of the Snipe in the aircraft window finally switched to an image of the Nieuport28. Still no text in the weapon loadout
      slot.
11: Utterly confused, I decided to run the mission. Selected an appropriate opponent, hit fly:

      100% mission loading failed: null 

what next??? I really wanted to fly this beautiful aircraft...
thank for any help

Hey Fresco,
Looks like you're running ModAct 3.06?
As far as I know, the aircraft in the WW1 section are optimized for Ultra-Pack 3 and Dark Blue World 1916.
The 70% crash indicates a clash between something in your .ini files.
It must read: "Nieuport28C1             air.Nieuport28C1 1                            NOINFO  gb01  SUMMER "
Failing that, I suggest downloading and installing the latest version of UP3 and DBW so as to avoid these sorts of errors when flying the new WW1 aircraft.

Small problem.   On take off this bird runs for about 30-40m and flips over onto its nose.  Tried fresh download, same problem.

Any ideas guys ?

Well, they did say it is beta version so its not entirelly 100% finished.
Yes, some minor problems may show up but they are always updating the FM and
other details just like it has been happening to the original IL-2-1946 game.
But in my game I fly it great on take off, even if I put it on Auto-pilot.
A few days ago I did about 5 take-off starts just to take some screenshots of the
 surrounding countryside and the airplanes Vpmedia had placed there in the airfield.
So maybe something is happening in your game to make it crash. How do you have the
airplane set up? What switches turned on and off? I have mine on easy mode, because
I am not a pro flying these wooden planes, but at least I have them flying!

[crazyeddie]

Yep, I appreciate it is Beta. 

Also having problems getting it to take off with me in the seat, starts in the air every time.
