The BIGGEST difference that you will find between this
Web site and others that offer downloads for the various flight
simulations is that whenever possible I have attempted to create an
"installation" program for the downloads...No more having to
create folders, and then copying and/or moving files. The installation
program does all of this for you...AUTOMATICALLY. So, where possible,
all you have to do is to simply double-click on the installation program
and enjoy! I strongly encourage you to visit the Installation
Program page to see how this program works before
downloading any of the wonderful add-ons from this site. To start your
experience, simply click on one of the links to the left.

TRAINING & GENERAL
INFORMATION
COCKPIT
REFERENCES. Information on the gauges and instruments found in the
cockpit views.
AIRCRAFT
STABILITY. Link to information about the basic stability principle.
Canards
Operate On The Same Principle. Some airplanes have the main wing in
the back. They get their stability from a much smaller wing (called a canard)
in the front.
Beyond
Decalage. Decalage is the main issue but not the only issue
affecting the airplane’s angle of attack stability.
Other
Failure Modes. There are lots of ways to violate the
weight-and-balance envelope.
Practical
Considerations. Airline crews are required to check the weight and
balance in detail for every flight. In practice, general
aviation pilots often pre-calculate typical cases.
Phugoid
Oscillations. In slightly more technical terms, airplanes
essentially never have as much pitch-wise damping as you would
like.
SPIRAL
DIVE. Link to information about spiral dives.
Which
Way Is Up. The semicircular canals in your inner ear will tell you
which way is up for a few seconds, but after that, you don’t
know...not without looking.
Overview.
It has a well-deserved nickname: graveyard spiral. Except for
running into something, a spiral dive is almost the only way you can
inadvertently destroy an airplane.
Recovering
From A Spiral Dive. If you find yourself in an unusual turning,
descending situation, the first thing to do is decide whether you are in
a spiral dive or in a spin.

Russia during WWII, challenging them to pilot realistic period aircraft
modeled with pinpoint precision. Soaring through deadly realistic 3D
landscapes, pilots can engage in numerous action-packed single-play

1946 adds 36 new planes, four new gigantic
maps, over a hundred new ground objects and nearly 200 new campaign
missions. This new opus also includes all of the previous IL-2 series
content. What was years ago began as a one-aircraft study sim is now an
astonishing anthology with a whopping 229 flyable aircraft and over 300
aircraft.

patch includes four new maps as well as a number of bug fixes and
game tweaks and balances.
