IL-2: Great Battles
The IL-2 events take place at 1900 GMT on Sunday 15th as one big event called The Sturmovik Trials. The rounds of the event are as follows:
Fencing
The classic 1V1 duels. Same aircraft, neutral merge and only you BFM skills to establish yourself as the best pilot. The twist? The plane-set is randomly decided!
HE-111 Pirate Battle
Two fully crewed HE-111's with a pilot and gunners spawn in the air, head-on and fight to the death in hilarious and exciting sky-pirate fashion.
Gladiator Pit
It’s the last stuka standing! A Free-For-All of Stukas equipped with the 37 mm cannons or the machine gun pods. Good aim, BFM skills and ammo conservation is the key to winning this challenging JU-87 frenzy.
Aerial Limbo
You love flying low and showing off? Prove it in this literal barnstorming event. You have to fly through as many hangars as possible. Did we forget to mention that only twin engine aircraft were allowed? If you are still feeling cocky, you get more points for flying in inverted!
Wrestling
A dirty close quarter engagements where guns are prohibited. You will have to use rockets, bombs and even your own plane to bring your opponent to the ground. The winners is the last plane to touch the ground!
The Equalizer
This last event will pit the best pilots against all the others in a very unfair team-fight! Let see if they are up to the task!

DCS: World
Important: We will be running the latest Open Beta for all DCS events
The DCS: World events are as follows:
Operation Cypress Creek (Saturday 14th 1300 GMT)

Huey Relay Race (Saturday 14th 1600 GMT)
Helicopter logistics is crucial is dynamic DCS campaigns - but why not use the common CTLD logistics mechanism for something a little different? In this relay race, the batton will be passed between Hueys via the CTLD menu. One must land, unload the baton and have theit team mate pick it up and continue the race!
DCS Bootcamp (Sunday 15th 1200 GMT)
DCS has a very steep learning curve, and this puts many people off trying it. If you're interested in trying DCS for the first time, come to our bootcamp! It's free to install and comes with two free aircraft: SU-25T and T-51D. We'll teach you how to set it up, get your key bindings in order and get in the air!
