State of the Game? Old IL2 pilot possibly returning...

[dreyer]

Hello!

 

I am an old IL2 gamer recently struck by nostalgia and considering getting back into it.

 

I had previously my own little role playing game where I "challenged" Hartmann's kill tally in the online world and posted tracks of my attempts: http://www.aveimil.com/IL2/

 

I have some questions I would like answered before possibly getting back into it:

1. What is the community like? Is there a sizable community of online pilots and close to "full real" stable servers?
2. Do you need a 3rd party client to connect to multiplayer components? I remember HyperLobby.
3. Is there a competitive component? I.e. ladder?
4. Do I need to purchase IL2: Battle of Stalingrad + Battle of Moscow? Or what configuration of DLC's are people mostly playing with?
5. Is the game well balanced and polished?
6. I'm pretty sure my old Microsoft SideWinder 2 Force Feedback joystick does not cut it anymore (probably won't work with Windows 10 anyway); what Joystick should I purchase?
7. Any common issues/problems I should be aware of?

If you can answer one or more of these questions I would appreciate a reply.

 

Thank you for your time!

1) Small, but growin, especially now with VR players

2) No, included in game

3) There are pilot levels and the campaign tracks your stats you could compare with other players. Online is skill vs skill and just enjoy a role you choose and complete the goal of the map.

4) Not sure, but I think a lot of maps are playing moscow

5) The planes are implemented pretty true to real life. Nothing has been artificially balanced for gameplay, but German and Russian planes both have their strengths and weaknesses and good pilots learn to exploit these things over their enemies.

The game is polished now. Sound are great, good immersion, feeling of flight, good flight models

6) Whatever your budget go for that. A more expensive stick will usually have a better ability to pick up more movement and translate it to the game making for a more fluid flying experience. I use the cheap thrustmaster hortas X stick, but any mid range stick with a twist grip can get you flying.

7) There were some issues with some of the graphics cards (check the hardware section) and some people get micro stutters. Generally the game is stable and runs well. It doesn't need a massively expensive spec when talking about computers from the last 3 years so anything with an I3 or I5 and mid level graphics card should get you flying.

8) You'd be joining at a better time now since many issues that you may see reported on old reviews have been rectified and the developers are always working on new fixes, content and improvements to make the game better. The community on the forums is one of the best I've ever been a part of and many of the players are in their mid to late 20s. Many more are in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. I think we've even got a few playing in their 80s so a really rounded spectrum of people playing the game.

 

See you in the skies.

Hi Dreyer,

 

Welcome to the community! I hope I can try and answer your questions:

 

1) The community is small but fiercely supportive for the most part. We have our usual debates here on the forum but I see lots of the same faces and a lot of new ones returning recently. The online community is also small but growing. There are two or three servers catering to different crowds (up to the full real) that are fairly busy these days. Whenever I log in to MP they are usually close to full (48 players) these days. Especially weekends.

 

2) Not this time. It's done in the game itself. There is a server browser with some light details but that's about it. Could be more and it lacks the HyperLobby chat feature but otherwise its pretty good. We'll see some changes this year in that area I suspect as co-op is added to the game.

 

3) Sort of. But probably not the way you're thinking of it. The best we have are the server stats for example Wings of Liberty: http://il2stat.aviaskins.com:8008/en/

 

4) The nice thing with the new IL-2 is that you can buy what you want. They made it so that even if you don't own one of the battles you can still play on the multiplayer map - so long as the server is offering up aircraft that you own. Usually this is the case so that's a good thing. I'd advocate for getting started taking advantage of one sale or another and then buying more stuff as it goes on sale. Stalingrad is probably the best place to start though I think Moscow has the best map right now and an equally interesting aircraft set. I have all three with Stalingrad and Moscow in full release and Kuban on the way. Even if you only buy one of them... you benefit from the added features and engine enhancements regardless. Everyone gets the latest updates. I more fully thought this out on my blog if you want to read that: https://stormbirds.wordpress.com/2017/03/12/which-il-2-should-i-buy/

 

5) For a flight sim its doing pretty well. Battle of Stalingrad lacked a few features but things are progressing nicely. The areas that lack polish are MP chat room (not available yet), no co-op (coming this summer/fall), a more involved campaign (old campaign system being replaced with a career system this fall). The game engine itself has had a number of significant updates: 64bit support and DX11 arriving in the last few months along with AI improvements which have all boosted performance in a big way. VR support was just added and people are loving that. It's not perfect and flight sims rarely are but its absolutely solid, the aircraft have an amazing in-air feeling that I just can't find anywhere else, and improvements are coming all the time.

 

6) It might still work. If it doesn't I'd advocate that you check out VKB-Sim's Gladiator Mark II or Mark II Pro. I have the Mark I and its an awesome stick for the money. There are more pricey sticks out there but this one is extremely good and very smooth and precise. I wrote about it so you can check out my review if you want: https://stormbirds.wordpress.com/2016/12/11/%EF%BB%BFreview-vkb-gladiator/

 

7) If you have a ... GTX 780 (I think) there are some pretty weird problems with that card because of how nVidia does something there. Its caused some issues. If you don't have it then no sweat. This is a demanding sim so you need to make sure you have a good PC to handle it. I'd also say that some were disappointed with the career system and it was indeed a bit flat but as I said its being replaced. You may also read about an unlock system for weapons modifications and skins: That's all been removed much to the cheering of the community. The devs are working hard and listening intently so things are progressing.

 

This is a superb game in my estimation. I love playing it for all kinds of reasons. Hopefully it works well for you and you can get on-board. I'd suggest not jumping all in but just going for IL-2: Battle of Stalingrad to get a taste. If after a while you feel like you've settled in and you're enjoying the game and the community then I'd say go all out and get everything else as funds/sales allow. It's growing into being very much like the spirit of the original but its also that much more!

[dreyer]

I'm amazed at the quality of these responses and so quick to boot! Thank you both very much.

 

My computer is high-end (980 Ti) so should probably handle it very well.

 

I will check out those Joysticks. I can afford a top-end joystick if there is value in that. Cost is not really a big concern, but value always factors into the equation.

 

I'm very positive about #4, this increases the likelihood that I will purchase them all. A good design philosophy, imho.

 

A few follow-up questions:

 

8. Can you still record online tracks and share them with others?

9. Are there any online repositories for quality online (i.e. human vs human) tracks?

[BOO]

6) It WILL still work but may sometimes act up . Usually easy to fix quickly  in game. A few of us still use Sidewinders with Win10. If its in good order you can save some dosh initially on having to buy another stick and put the money into the other bits. 

 

 

ooooo - and if you do decide to take the plunge on a new stick, check the prices the sidewinders go for ebay - theres some value in that thar ole stick of yours  - probably £50-70 at least - a nice offset to a VBK stick!!

Hi Dreyer

 

6. MSFF2 work fine. I use it with windows10. Force feedback is very usefull.

[dreyer]

10. Are there any Joysticks that work in the same way that MSFFB2? I.e. without a spring? I remember that when I tried a Joystick with a spring for a few minutes I was left feeling helpless because with the MSFFB2 I could easily position the joystick at a certain position and just leave it there, with no effort, until I decided to change my angles. Centering it was also almost instant and simply required me to break the laser running up the grip.

[dreyer]

11. Looking at the Gladiator Joystick, the Pro does not have twist (rudder) control? Seems odd to me, I guess the PRO is meant to be used with pedals? I personally do not want pedals I don't see the non-pro one even for sale on the Europe site =(

12. Do anyone own or have an opinion of this set for IL2? https://www.komplett.no/product/904027/gaming/kontrollere/joystick/logitech-g-x52-pro-flight-control-system#productinfo 

[DD_Arthur]

X52 ?  Uuurghhhh......

 

Your MSFFB2 is still the best stick out there and works fine with Windows 10.   The best set up involving the X52 involves throwing away the stick and keeping the throttle.

You dont want pedals??? Mate, to me they are a must after upgrading from a twist stick. I have CH pedals I purchased about 10 years ago and they are still going trouble free. Albeit, there is now a good selection of very precise pedals to be found.

Yep. Track recording is built in (and it has a nice little REC icon in the top of the right corner to remind you that you're still recording).

 

I haven't seen a repository but we're in the era of video recording and YouTube. You'll find tons of gameplay video on YouTube like this one:

So the non-pro is meant to be a standalone stick while the Pro has metal internal components and a swapable stick that can use other VKB sticks that are coming in the future. Also ideal for cockpit installations where you have the stick between your legs as in a real aircraft. They have extenders for that.

 

I got the non-pro version because I wanted the twist stick and I didn't want all of the other fancy stuff. The sensors themselves are still the same high quality ones and everything else is about the same.

 

I have the X-52... mine was from the original Saitek batch before they were sold to Madcatz and then to Logitech. Quality has suffered in recent years and Logitech hasn't had enough time with them to have a chance to correct that.

[=TBAS=Sshadow14]

There is LOTS of artificial Balancing going on to control balance of teams..
Not by the Game devs, but by mission makes of multiplayer servers who can't except reality.
So they balance missions to make sure VVS wins 8/10 games (some not even possible for LW to win without atleast 15-20 He-111 working together, but other team can clear it with 3 x pe2's)
FACT!

Its controlled by the multiplayer server maker via the mission making program (SHOULD NOT BE, AND INSTEAD HARD CODED by DEVS)

They can set say PE2 Gunner AI to Ace skill (about 150-175% Intended accuracy by the devs for historical realism/balance)
Then they can set HE-111 Gunner AI to Low skill (about 25-50% intended accuracy by the devs for historical realism/balance)

BAMM!
Instant Massive Russian bias (leaving HE-111 with 0.3% Accuracy over 250 hours flight and pe2 with 65% Accuracy over 100 hours)

Or make 2 objectives look the same but have very different conditions to clear them
Eg, Forts on some servers VVS and LW side,
For LW to kill VVS fort they need 100Ground kills,
For VVS to kill LW fort they need only 10Ground kills.

BAMM!
Instant massive Russian bias

But hey why not its their servers right?
who cares if it destroys the games image and fun factor having pe2 snipe players from 2K @ 800 kph

[Finkeren]

You have already received some very good and balanced answers to your questions, so I will just say this:

 

Buy it. You will NOT regret it. This sim had something of a rough start (you can probably dig out some old negative reviews from back then if you really want to) and at the time of the launch of BoS, the entire game was kind of limited in scope and had some glaring flaws almost all of which have now been ironed out, and response to development over the last year or so has been pretty much exclusively positive and the attitude of the community has changed from divided and sceptical to very supportive.

 

I also have to mention, that the dev. team is doing an amazing job developing this sim. They have a proven track record of keeping deadlines and never promising too much too soon. They are hitting milestones at an astonishing rate and every month brings a huge update with new Battle of Kuban content as well as numerous fixes and additions to the entire game (BoS, BoM & BoK).

 

No other team in the business (except Gajin which is much, much bigger) can manage this pace of development.

[FlyingNutcase]

I remember your Hartmann adventures!

 

What Finkeren said. We're on a dreamy development run and the future is shiny & bright. It's a good time to be a virtual pilot and VR is a really big cherry on the top.

[BOO]

The Gladiator Pro is not designed to have an extensions. VKB explicitly warn against any extensions on the Gladiator because of its plastic base. Not to say it cant be done,just that its not advised by the manufacturer. 

 

VKB products are frustratingly difficult to "just buy" - in Europe the sole distributor currently only has the Gladiator Pro on offer HOWEVER there is a batch of Gunfighter sticks inbound from China they they will likely be selling (or taking orders for)within a fortnight. As a measure of how frustrating VKB can be even their Euro outlet takes the "it aint here until its here" stance. 

 

As stated above, the MS sidewinder will be more than good enough to get your head in the game (just set those curves)

[Quax]

6. FFB2 is still the best stick. I wouldn't fly without FFB anymore. If you find a better FFB stick - tell me !

 

PS: It's not about shake effects. The changing neutral position makes all the difference.

That is quite amazing, that such an old stick, made by Microsoft, is still king!

 

Are there any solid configuration guides, perhaps oriented towards IL2 that you used to get it working on Windows 10?

 

What are these curves you are referencing?

Well, if I get really into this I'd probably want to run my own server and I'm more of a gamer than simulation/historical accuracy person and would certainly attempt to make it as even as possible. That leads me to:

 

13. Is it free/easy to setup a server? What are the hardware requirements? Does it require a lot of CPU power?

[BOO]

Well it may not be king but its still a good stick. It should work without drivers or issues in WIN10 (mine does)

 

Occasionally it will go squiify when you start a game (usually if you alt tab in and out) - 9/10 hitting esc (to get to the settings)/settings/key input then hitting apply will sort it. This problem is only occasional.

 

The curves are set in in the key input. A lot find the 109F/Gs especially very sensitive. Putting a curve in the axis (graph icon on the right) cools it down. best to play about with these - some use lots, others hardly any. 

 

Finally FFB and trim in the game doesn't match non ffb sticks. You may find that you need to use more negative stab in the 109 at speed and getting the 88 to climb with just trim is, for me at least, impossible under 300 Km/h. Again, small adjustments to your style overcome these matters. 

[SEE1947]

I spent many years in Il1946 then along came Cliffs of Dover followed by BOS and BoM. MP is well supported regards players and server host realism settings.

 

There are differences and some have preferences but my advice is go on you tube and look at the videos - you will be impressed and be tempted to buy them all and why not!

 

Regards the MSSWFF2, I was recommended to get one many years ago after successive X52 yokes ended up in the garbage. The MSSWFF2 is still as good today as when I puchased it many years ago. Best stick available for what they cost. Get a throttle unit such as the X52 or X45 and you have a very good flight control system.

 

Not essential but I use Xpadder for programming my sticks and I prefer just using the Sidewinder with the motors only acting as a centre spring. I use win7 and have disabled any software from accessing the sidewinder to cause dropout, etc. It is permanently in centre spring mode which is all I want.

I actually have Cliffs of Dover already on steam. Does that mean that I can technically play online vs people that have BoS and BoM?

[SEE1947]

CloD is a separate title. BoS, BoM are also separate titles/theatres but integrated.

 

To join BoS or BoM in MP you will need to buy those titles. Availiable from Steam, 777 studios or DVD as I understand.

They are completely separate game engines.

 

The new IL-2 series is IL-2: Battle of Stalingrad, Battle of Moscow and Battle of Kuban (in early access with release expected in December 2017).

[dburne]

As others have already mentioned no completely separate entities.

 

I would highly recommend picking up at least BoS for sure, even BoM as well if you want to support the devs even more.

 

Both titles ( BoS and Cliffs) are excellent sims in their own rights. Cliffs has some excellent updates coming down the pike with the support of 1CGS for the Team Fusion Simulations modders, and BoX with some exciting updates along with Battle of Kuban around the end of the year then hopefully the Pacific coming after that.

 

It is a very good time for fans of WWII combat flight sims.

Salutations pilots,

 

Just curious, are there 'any' FFB flight sticks in production currently. If so, where.

[seafireliv]

Far as I know there aren`t any. Something to do with a long standing copyright issues I think. Amazing that such a good stick even got made; companies just don`t make this quality any more. I love my FFBSW, but surely it`s days are number and then....

[dreyer]

Disappointing first impression on Cliffs of Dover at least, won't even launch via Steam!

 

Edit: Nvm, after opting into the beta mod on steam (properties-> Beta tab) it seems to work.

 

I just launched up a quick mission in CloD to test my Sidewinder 2. I noticed when I'm in the cockpit and flying the stick is relaxed, i.e. it does not automatically center. If I press ESC to go into the menu's it immediately centers as expected. That's odd? Is it like this in BoM too?

 

Edit2: Randomly that problem just appears to have gone away...

Nothing for the gamer market. There are several FFB sticks to choose from for professional training sims, but they also cost thereafter and as such aren't really viable. Your best bet is to look for a used Sidewinder FFB 2 on eBay or Amazon or something.

Theres a guide to the sidewinder and clod for download on the ATAG forum.

Although close cousins CLoD and BoX are completely different game engines. Don't judge one based upon the other.

If you weren't in the sim world last years, you missed a lot of information regarding CloDo problems! 

CloDo was a complete fail, uncomplete development, many bugs and so on. (I will not enter in details here, you can find information about it online)

It is only playable thanks to the Team Fusion work, that's why you had to activate the beta mod on Steam ( https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/28285-1c-game-studios-signs-agreement-team-fusion-il-2-sturmovik-c/ )

 

Don't judge on it, BoS/BoM/BoK are completely different!

 

 

 

If you really want to come back in Sim, I recommend you to buy BoS to test.

Then, as most of people here you'll buy BoM and/or BoK, because it's simply great!

[ST_ami7b5]

Sate of the game is good and getting better & better

[Lusekofte]

 

 

I'm pretty sure my old Microsoft SideWinder 2 Force Feedback joystick does not cut it anymore (probably won't work with Windows 10 anyway); what Joystick should I purchase?

 

This is a very good joystick and you should use it, replacing it to something better means expencive 

[=TBAS=Sshadow14]

i would try to upgrade the internals and Rebuild those FFB Sticks.

Nothing beats FFB for flying wish it was the main stream stick instead of just floppy twist sticks .

[dreyer]

So I bought BoS and set up my MSFFB2...

 

I keep getting more or less the following issue however:

https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/25342-msffb2/

 

My airplane keeps going to the LEFT and I have to pressure the stick to the right.

 

How did ya'll get this working smoothly?

 

EDIT: Think I solved it by calibrating the stick in windows a few times.

 

EDIT2: I need friends Will be spending a lot of time configuring the game and learning how to control my aircraft before I can start thinking about combat. Looking for anyone able to assist in answering questions I have as they pop up via chat on Steam. PM me if you want to add me on steam
