To be honest I like the tweaking as well as the missions and campaign play, setting all the entered/left service dates, tweaking the guns accuracy and range on everything from a jeep with a pintle mounted MG to a multi-gun ship or aircraft to facilitate better (for me) game play is what Ive always liked.
Now I'm retired its the one thing (well in game terms) I always wanted to get back into when I had the time.
I purchased the game originally back in 2003 according to the receipt still in the CD box and then went on to purchase most if not all the additional content from Just Flight, Airplane Heaven and Shockwave.
I enjoyed the hell out of CFS1, CFS2 and tried most of the earlier versions of IL2 as well but when CFS3 came out I was hooked, then when the Ground Crew, AvHistory and IS4G to name a few started to produce content followed by the various teams who produced the different expansions like (but not limited to) ETO and MAW I knew this was the game for me.
12months ago I retired and immediately got all my CDs with the downloaded content and started the whole tweaking journey again and Im loving it.
I find it outstanding that a game that's around 20 years old still has a following (all be it small) of dedicated people who continue to produce aircraft, missions and campaigns for this game.
To all who post screenshots, all who ask questions, all who take the time to share their knowledge, all who are still designing projects whether it be aircraft or missions and campaigns, those who contribute to keeping the game alive and I must not forget the people at SOH who allow us to have this place to meet up in, I would like to say thanks to you all
Dont know about anybody else but Im here to stay.
