My first flight...

I finally got IL-2 Great Battles - Battle for Kuban! 

Here are some pics (because I'm so excited).  I started takeoff from Adler, flew east along the coast to gain altitude, and then turned north along the last river valley.  Slowly gaining altitude, I barely made it over the Caucasus mountain range, having to increase throttle to survive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Made a perfect landing at Maykop.

 

 

My graphics settings need to be adjusted a little but, nevertheless, the scenery was fantastic looking.

Hi CT, nice to see you around here.

 

Your request for a Battle of Caucasus doesn't surprise me at all. 

I used to fly a lot over those mountain tops in old IL2.

Hey Uff ole buddy!  Maybe someday we'll have the rest of the Caucasus (up to Grozny) on a map.  Well, at least the Kuban map's border is much more to the east than the old IL-2 1946 Kuban map so that we can  portray battles for Tuapse and Maikop better. 

 

There were some large tank battles in the Terek River region in the eastern Caucasus.  A map of that region would be good for IL-2 Tank Crew.  That's also where the Night Witches flying the Po-2/U-2vs got started. 

Devs need to read The Caucasus and the Oil and Battle for the Caucasus.

Thanks jeanba!  Lately I've been building a new Sturmovik campaign.  It includes missions from the previously-made Battle for the Caucasus Parts 1-4 so that pilots can fly the Sturmovik from August 1942 to January 1943.
