Thanks for putting this together! This should be the equivalent to the sidebar in Reddit. The go-to place for every noob and anyone trying to read on areas where they are a bit rusty.

Thanks for your contribution of the Pilot Notes Jade_Monkey. I always have them open on my iPad whenever I fly. Also, thanks to everyone whose content I linked to and everyone who helps guide the community in their own way.

Where are LoadBeard's guides?  Like this one..  I don't see them in the list in the first post.

 

I was wondering if he made any more?  Specifically I was looking for a P-47 Cockpit Guide.

I remember those great cockpit guides but I'm afraid that LodeBeard's post is gone.

Wow, why would the delete his post?  Well, I see that he has not logged on the forums for ove 1.5 years, so he probably hasn't made any new cockpit guides.

 

Thanks for the reply Jim..  Maybe I should post the ones that I have..  I think I have them all.  I have 11 of them..

I guess that would be OK as long as you credit Lodebeard for the contribution and perhaps include a short explanation of the situation. I'll add a link to your post.

Under 'Skinning Guides', the item called 'Posting, Downloading, and Showing Skins' is a link to just one post which has nothing of use in it. 

Probably should remove it from this list?  

Guess I'll do some searching for downloading skins..

Thanks. I added "Note on" to the link titles to make the purpose clear.

I PM'ed Loadbeard about a week ago and have received no response.

 

I posted all of his guides and one that I made in this post.  I put a note in there for him to contact me if he would like them taken down. 

 

Here's my post....

I made a more readable and mobile friendly version of the aircraft and tanks technical specifications / operational details present in the game.

If anyone's interested it can be found here:

 

GitHub Pages: https://aergistal.github.io/il2

GitHub project: https://github.com/aergistal/il2

 

I plan to update it for each release.

Thanks Aergistal. I added a link under Aircraft Guides and Tank Guides.

 

Note to All: Thanks for all of the great resources. It's best to create a separate thread for new resources so that you can add update posts to that thread as you go. That way, your resource will stand out and this thread will only contain updates to the opening post.
