IL2-My Favorite VR Sim

[fiddlinjim]

I have owned and flown flight sims since Apple first started with the stick airplane and all of the Microsoft CFS, Falcon 4.0, European Air War, F86 sim, FS 1 & 2, Cliffs Dover-early and now the blitz, War thunder, DCS 1.5 -2.2 Etc Etc.

I have to state that in my opinion IL2 VR with BOS, BOM, BOK is the best and far and away my favorite.

The plane/terrain visuals and the sound are the best, and now looking forward to Bodenplatte with ME262 and the P38.

If any one is on he fence about this sim, I suggest you pop for it and use VR for total a immersion.

Has anyone tried the new HMD Odessy? Ive read it has a higher resolution that is sorely needed.

I totally agree, it’s amazing to look back at how far this hobby has progressed. I’m a little late joining the BOS side of life. DCS got me into VR and I never really gave this sim much thought as I just remembered all the negative reviews way back about unlocks and only winter maps. After playing DCS for a while it all felt rather...dull in a way. Yes the aircraft were great but there seemed no substance to it. Planes felt added to the map instead of feeling part of it. Then after watching a few YouTube videos and discovering that BOS had vr support I bought BOM on sale and I’ve never looked back. The whole thing along with PWCG is incredible, no longer am I flinging missiles at dots on a radar I’m scissoring with russian fighters trying to get ”that” shot. I know it’s been said a million times before but if you are in anyway sitting on the fence this Xmas wondering wether to buy the first gen VR headset just do it. It WILL transform your hobby from the game that you love into the experience you always dreamed off. Happy Xmas to you all and thank you Devs for having taken the time and effort to bring this amazing time period to life!

I bought one to try for this game. Bottom line, it doesn’t work properly. There are two other threads going int details

are the devs looking in to the IDP issues you're having? Or the ticket is on hold until those guys get the equipment?

I simply don’t know. They certainly never told me anything

I think Jason has made fairly clear on a few occasions what they have for VR now is what it is. But who knows what might come at some point down the pike. I certainly would not count on it anytime soon.
