Flight Journal: Never underestimate the Yak-7
The Yak-7 isn’t the best looking of fighter aircraft from the WWII era and because of that, it gets underestimated. Constantly. The other day I was out flying with Air Combat Tutorial Library creator Requiem for a couple of flights and I wanted to share a highlight sortie that showcased what the Yak-7B is pretty…

This won’t be a full flight journal but rather a summary of each and an example of the kinds of multiplayer experiences you can have on IL-2 right now. Transport run in a Ju52 I wanted to…

Flight Journal: A summary of Sturmovikfest multiplayer flying
I’m starting a new series that I will occasionally contribute to called ‘Flight Journal’ where I write a brief summary of some of the recent single player or multiplayer missions I’ve flown and then captured screenshots from. I’ve done this kind of thing before but I’d like to make them into a series that I…

The folks who run the Finnish Virtual Pilots Dynamic War server are running a server that doesn’t seem to always rise to the top of the server list but after my two flights on the server over the last two days of Sturmovikfest, I honestly think that it should. Here are my thoughts on what…
