Force10 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 S! All, Went ahead and took the plunge last night and I have to say I like what I see so far! Everything went smooth and in the air the feeling is awesome…looking forward to where this sim is heading for sure! I guess my video card is my weak spot here…being on the ground and rolling for take off I got some serious chop but as soon as wheels were up I get solid 60fps. Even on extreme in the flyby and exterior views it was close to 60…cockpit view not so much though. (that's usually the case with most flight sims anyway…especially sitting on the runway at take-off) I realize I'm sort of a "Johnny come lately" on purchasing…but I bought the premium edition to show my support. (I didn't even look at what the 10 planes were really…lol) I like the communication and updates that come rather frequently. Great Job Devs! 9
71st_AH_Hooves Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 good on ya bud, And you arent late, the game hasnt even been released yet!!!

9./JG27golani79 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Wish I had bought the premium too - too bad that there is no possibility of upgrading. Guess I have to get the 190 after release then.
Mikey Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Wish I had bought the premium too - too bad that there is no possibility of upgrading. Guess I have to get the 190 after release then. you can upgrade.
Willy__ Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Wish I had bought the premium too - too bad that there is no possibility of upgrading. Guess I have to get the 190 after release then. If you have the standard edition you can buy the La5 and the FW190 separately.
9./JG27golani79 Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) you can upgrade. Thought there were no upgrade available cause the FAQ states the following: Can I upgrade Standard edition to Premium editiom? Upgrade from the Standard to the Premium Edition is not available. Or is it just possible to upgrade the Steam version which I don´t have? If you have the standard edition you can buy the La5 and the FW190 separately. Can someone point me to the right place if these planes are available for the non-Steam version at the moment? Edited September 11, 2014 by golani79

Force10 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 Thanks for all the responses everyone! Hooves…I appreciate the invite but I am nowhere near ready for online yet…except maybe I would be a good drone for target practice. I'm bummed…here it is Friday and I found out I have to work tommorrow…crap! The only chance I have had to fly was that first night I got it…been working 13-14 hour shifts 6 days a week for 4 months now. The only plus side to working those hours is it made me not hesitate to buy the premium edition…I mean all that hard work should be rewarded…right? (that's what I told my wife anyway). 1
Eldur Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Got a similar rig and I'd definately say it's the graphics card, but it runs pretty well, though not perfectly.
dragon76 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) yeaa Im in :-) Edited September 12, 2014 by dragon76

Guys online will get you up and running in 5 minutes. If you feel like giving it a try, I'm sure you'll learn much faster from people who know what is relevant and what's not that important There are very few things you need to know in order to be operational. If you fly with someone who's experienced (and a lot of us are at this point), you'll find yourself being much "better" than you originally thought. There is a guide available to help you familiarize yourself with the different aircraft in the game. http://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/10267-chucks-aircraft-guide/

Baldric Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Off the fence too, I'm all in. Havin' a blast. Gotta dash back to the airfield, more flights needed as I'm perfecting the art of Target Drone and proper bailing out techniques!

uncleseaweed Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 IL2 BoS "First Impressions" On a scale of 1 to 10, i give the beta release an "11" Amazing work! The realism and feel of the aircraft is incredible, as well as excellent graphics and sound, and wow, this is only the beta! I just got the pre-release beta and I've been playing it now for a few days with no major issues. I go way back to the very first IL2 and it's so exciting to see such a worthy successor to the series getting off to a great start. Looks like the "Golden Age of Sturmovik" is back! Thanks for making the beta available! Bolshoi Spaceebo! UncleSeaweed 1
