How do I enable "arcade mode" to see weapon strike arrows

[madcowz]

I know...

 

I shouldn't be asking about how to make this game like an arcade game as it is a sim but I used to find this feature very useful when starting out in the original IL2 when I played it many years ago (before my youngest child was born as I told him the other night, he's 14 now) and I'd like to enable this feature in IL2 BOS while I again, get to grips with the sim.

 

Is it possible? You used to edit conf.ini and set  Arcade=1 but I can't see a conf.ini any more.

 

Thanks

Not possible. And from what I remember, the weapons strike feature in the original IL-2 was woefully inaccurate anyway. If you want to assess your shooting skills, record your attempts, and play the track back.

The game uses an entirely different code base from the original IL2.

I don't think such a feature exists in the new IL-2.

 

The best thing to do would be to record your flights and replay the tracks after. That'll give you some valuable details for sure.

Remember, that this sim is not an improved version of IL-2 1946. It is entirely new and based on a completely different engine. Some features that were in the original will not be in the new sim.

Thanks for the replies. I will continue flying, recording and weeping at my inability to hit anything.

You can turn on aim assist, make sure you are in normal difficulty, or use custom difficulty and check the box next to aim assist.

Hello,

 

You can use : Tacview (there is a free version )

Happy Flights

Both of the above are good suggestions; use aim assist to see where you need to be aiming in order to hit a target and Tacview for 3D overview of your encounters.

Thanks. I've got aim assist on which is helping and have downloaded Tacview and will give it a spin the next time I get some time to fly.

Slow down the time during attack and enjoy bullets impact close view.
