There needs to be the E and F series for sure, but the GunVal aircraft that were used for combat evaluation (which were not a roaring success), were so few in number I can't see much point in using them...

Pointless thread.

Hi all, I was just thought I'd make a thread about the future of IL-2 covering Korea and the Pacific War and about whatever comes next. Now I know they plan to do the Pacific once Korea is done, so I think until they imply or tease that they are going somewhere else, Korea and the Pacific is where I would like the conversions to stay on this thread. And I also know that it is probably a little too early to start a topic like this but I am hoping that it will go on as development on the new series continues developing, that is if the forum monitors will allow it. Concerning Korea, I understand that once they have released the initial product they plan to make a pack of carrier-based planes which will be the groundwork for their future Pacific modules. As for the PTO, I have heard a rumour that it will be a place where there is plenty of terrain as sea. That could imply one of the bigger island groups in the Indo-Pacific such as New Guinea or the Phillipines. You are free to debate me on wherever their first Pacific module will take place on this thread, but please keep it in the Pacific.

When on the topic, does anyone know when the Hurricanes started using the higher manifold pressure (14 lbs)? According to Chat GPT, the British always used it as long as they had 100-octane fuel, and the Soviets from 1943 (probably not accurate).

Should find it in IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\data

It isn't necessarily, but TAW and CB make sure their online campaigns don't overlap. Since Apollo isn't running, TAW is, and that's where a lot of established groups head to.

UPDATE: The Monster just got a little cheaper. Prices have slightly shifted downward -20,- on both Editions AND the Beltcovers are now no upgrade at additional cost but ALWAYS included WITHOUT Upcharge! Thets an effective price reduction per Edition of 45,-€

The team is optimizing this, since both tracking and Pimax Play are processed by the CPU. We’re working on ways to reduce CPU utilization.

Okay thanks @Stonehouse. I had suspected they were stored in something like that. I will get the tool and try to find the missions.gtp and see if they are in there. Will also report it as a bug and send some screenshots to the devs later 👍

I've always wanted to add an O2U-4 Corsair to my yellow wings Squadron. Unfortunately, the only game in town in 1/48 scale is a sort of Chinese snap-tite toy. The details are very rough, but the look and size are almost acceptable. So I tried to spruce up what was available a bit. It certainly won't deserve the front row inside my display but it can occupy a place in the background. 😉

I have enabled notifications on this thread so I don't miss anything 🙂 I have a couple of ideas that you can check: Have you messed around with the vibration settings for the DCS model TF-51D in SimAppPro? IL2WinWing translates the telemetry data from IL-2 so that SimAppPro thinks you're flying a TF-51D in DCS. I don't think this is it since you seem to get data from IL-2, but do you have a firewall that's blocking port 4322? Maybe test with a different telemetry port, like 29300 or something. Remember to change it in both files. Do you use any other game like DCS, MSFS or X-Plane and get vibrations when playing those?

Me too. I want the ability to have a hurricane, tornado, or at least a somewhat violent thunderstorm that no sane pilot in real life would fly through.

I'm hoping FFB will be a big focus, as even though I don't have one yet, it's had a huge comeback the past couple years and it may even become a standard thing given enough time, like how racing wheels are.

Sorry to disturb your discussion / for your information: There is a simple 1940 early Normandy map mod available: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/92449-early-normandy-1940-map-mod-v03a/ And a small BoB mod that contains a Spitfire without visible cannons for 1940 / early 41 + weapon mod and the mentioned Map mod (info added later) https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/92520-1940-battle-of-britain-mod-early-v01/

24.09.2025: Simplification of Main Post, all additional content (1940 BoB mod, EMG mod) now excluded / on individual posts with reference links.

Only an educated guess but I would think if you used the unGTP tool (do a forum search and you should find it) on the missions.gtp file and unpack it that you will find them in the results from unpacking missions.gtp Probably also a good idea to raise this as a bug in the Technical issues and bug reports forum, if you haven't already, as it sounds like something that is easily fixed by the devs. unGTP

My Camel's oil tank got hit in this flight my a gunner that seems to have miraculous powers!

I think a Polish map would make a lot of sense as it is one of the places where WWII began and ended in Eastern Europe. It would have to be a big map covering much of Eastern and Western Poland. It would cover the initial invasion of Poland from both sides, which hasn't been covered in combat flight simulation before. I will admit that this part wouldn't be very sporting because the fastest Polish fighters did not have the speed to even match the heaviest German bombers, but at least it would simulate how it all played out. Then we would jump to 1944-45 where the Germans are getting overrun by Soviet forces, a stark contrast to 1939 for the Germans when they seemed unbeatable. 1944-45 in aviation has not been covered by combat flight simulation properly for a really long time. However, I don't think this is going to happen in Great Battles. However, I think it is a likely project for the new series.

I bought a second hand G29 and it was good enough to have fun. With this kind of kit, you can often find lightly used sets by people who discover that they don't like it, or can't be bothered to set it up to play a game, or just don't have the time to game at all. The steering wheel is the best part, quite reliable even with fairly heavy use and decent FFB. Pedals are the weak part, both the quality and the reliability. They use pots and they obviously like to collect dust being on the ground and below your feet, which pots don't like. When they broke, I sold mine for parts and upgraded. That said, DD sets often cut costs on the pedals as well. If you want to do well at more serious simracing, then proper pedals are one of the most important factors for good lap times. Do keep in mind that even a 3 Nm DD is considerably better than a belt-drive, so don't overspend on a G29. I would also take a look on your local second hand market for cheap lightly used DD sets. On Ebay.co.uk, I saw that multiple Moza R3 bundles got sold for about 280 pounds, and I would much rather get that than spend 180 on a 2nd hand G29. All the low end stuff has lots of people sell it when they either want to upgrade or abandon the hobby, so lots of supply, usually. The higher end stuff is much rarer 2nd hand, because people hang on to it far longer. Do keep in mind that there is a lot of variety in games, from simcade, to track racing, to offroad, to drifting, so don't write it off right away if one kind of game doesn't suit you.

Could someone please make a short walk through to implament the new Alpha into the DV using Adobe Photshop I dont use gimp.

I don't think that wireless Quest is a fair comparison to a wired BSB2. My wired Quest 3 experience lacks most of these downsides.

thanks although even seems like total online players across all servers is significantly down. curious, why is TAW preferred over CB?

Hi everyone: I always misplace this video link. It has music newspaper headlines and graphics of the progression of battle as you go along for an hour or more watching the fronts gain ground then retreat . I think it last for over an hour. Does anyone know what video I speak of I think there was a word that started with a P in the title of it. Something like Propedia.

I truly hope someone is still checking this thread. I purchased the WinWing Orion base, F16 with shaker flight grip and I am attempting to use it in IL 2. I have my buttons and keys programmed just fine, but for some reason, I cannot get this addon to work. I have checked and double checked all files to ensure they are properly coded as per instructions...but no joy. I fly the Spitfire Mk IXE which was listed as a useable aircraft in an earlier post. I have attached my Startup.cfg file from IL2 as well as the DLL config from your addon. The Debug window shows cannon fire etc but no vibration. Any help will be MUCH appreciated.
