I need a new set of rudder pedals since my old CH pedals finally died.....
I prefer the western European theater, especially the English Channel area. The sceneries are nice (good mix of water and land) and I love reliving the BF109E vs Spit MkII.

Of all the WW2 combat flight sims I have, I loved Microprose's EAW the most.
Followed closely by Rowans BoB (after all the bug fixes). Though IL2 is clearly superior to both, somehow for me, IL2 didn't have the "soul" that EAW and BoB had. (Also.. I suck so bad at IL2. Hehehehe... I got fixated at the easy flight model of EAW and BoB)

I don't have rudder pedals though... I have to make do with a twist rudder joystick (Wingman Strike Force).
