Jason_Williams Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Attention Pilots! 1C Game Studios and the Sturmovik Team is sponsoring and attending the FS Expo 2018 in sunny Las Vegas, NV June 9-10. We would be honored if you come join us for a weekend of simming and good times! We will have a booth showing all the latest Sturmovik products and promoting Sturmovik to a largely civilian-centric sim crowd and showing off what Sturmovik can do. It would be awesome if a large contingent of combat-simmers from the Sturmovik community attended! While the civvy-crowd putts around looking at scenery we will be shooting down the enemy and blowing stuff up! Please visit http://www.flightsimexpo.com/ for more information and follow FS Expo 2018 on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/FlightSimExpo to keep abreast of developments. We hope to see you there! Jason 22
Danziger Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Awesome. I really hope I can make that. The whole team will be there?
Field-Ops Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Man I really wana put my vacation days in for that.
Jason_Williams Posted January 28, 2018 Author Posted January 28, 2018 Awesome. I really hope I can make that. The whole team will be there? No sorry. Just a couple of us. Jason
Danziger Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 No sorry. Just a couple of us. Jason No worries just the wording was slightly confusing. It would be really great to meet you guys in person. I hope I can get there.
JG7_X-Man Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 I am going to make this trip! I'll stay at the Wynn though since my wife is coming with!
Jade_Monkey Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 That would be cool! I'm considering whether I'm going to Vegas for the Adobe Summit in March, I wish this was on the same week.
Jason_Williams Posted January 29, 2018 Author Posted January 29, 2018 No worries just the wording was slightly confusing. It would be really great to meet you guys in person. I hope I can get there. I can't afford to bring 30+ people to Vegas. When I know who can get visas I will let you know. Jason
Requiem Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Very cool! I'll do my best to be there but I won't know until the month prior due to scheduling.It looks like fun so I'm looking forward to going! :-)
ShamrockOneFive Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Not sure if I can make it but I had been thinking about a Vegas trip. See if I can string it together. Either way, what a fantastic way to get IL-2 in front of a few more people.
[APAF]VR_Spartan85 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Hangover 4: battle of Las Vegas.... This is awesome that you will be showing off our lovely sim to them there civvy pilots. I can see now the further pressures you and the team have to complete tasks at hand. I won't be able to make it unfortunately, I've always wanted to a flight sim event. Sadly they are never in Canada, that i know of.. I hope you win their hearts 1
VBF-12_Stele Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Nice! Marking the calendar; I just might make this.
dburne Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Good to see you participating in this, should be some nice exposure!
=WH=PangolinWranglin Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 It's only a 26 and half day walk from home according to google, though google also says I'd have to go 11k feet up and back down across the Rockies. I'd have to start walking before this semester ends. If only I could afford to travel... Be sure to post pictures. I want to see what the booth is like and who all shows up. 1
Herne Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Been looking for an excuse to go back to vegas for years. I'm going to try and make this happen. It coincides with the wife's 50th birthday, but just wondering how much shit I will be in when she realises the real purpose of the trip is to say hi to Jason 1
Chief_Mouser Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Well, that would fit in nicely between a week at Lake Garda and another in the wonderfully-named village of Beer. I somehow doubt whether I'd get wifely approval without a lottery win to pay for the flights though...
1./KG4_OldJames Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Wife: "where are we spending our holidays this year?" Me: "La Vegas, sweetie" W: "Awesome! I have always wanted to go to the Golden Nugget! play the slots, have a go at roulette etc." M: "Actually, I am going to play Il2 BoS there" W: -_- 1
TG-55Panthercules Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Sounds cool - been wanting to go back to Vegas for a while now. Just gotta figure out how much money it's going to cost me to keep the wife busy at the slot machines while I check out the flight sim booths
kestrel79 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 I was thinking about possibly going to this. Never been to Vegas before and I'd love to try IL2 and other sims in VR. Have to show those Civilian Simmers what's up.
gn728 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Hmm...Is T Fusion technically under the1C banner? Maybe get them to join - increase the combat sim footprint at the show...
Herne Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Jason is there any chance you might be able to get vive to show off their new VR toy at the event ? It's possible that they may even be willing to lend you a dev kit. 1
Jason_Williams Posted January 30, 2018 Author Posted January 30, 2018 Hmm...Is T Fusion technically under the1C banner? Maybe get them to join - increase the combat sim footprint at the show... No they can get their own booth if they wish. This announcement is just for Great Battles projects. Jason Sorry guys I had the wrong date. It's June 9 and 10. Sorry for the confusion. Jason I was thinking about possibly going to this. Never been to Vegas before and I'd love to try IL2 and other sims in VR. Have to show those Civilian Simmers what's up. I have not committed to showing anything in VR yet. Jason
TG-55Panthercules Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I have not committed to showing anything in VR yet. Jason I've already registered and booked my rooms - I'll be arriving on Thursday before the thing starts and could bring my Rift with me if you want to use it for VR demos. Just let me know.

Just let me know. I don't need anyone to bring anything, but thanks. The event is open to the public on Saturday and Sunday. Friday is setup. Jason
=EXPEND=CG_Justin Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I think I am going to attend, but probably stay a couple blocks down at the La Quinta. It's pretty cheap and the rooms are decent. Its only like 2 blocks away as well. I stayed there last year after going out to Kingman, AZ for work to log parts from our mothballed airplanes. Airfare costs me nothing so all my wife and I need is a room and food. Who knows, maybe some of us can grab a few cold ones afterwards and hit the tables! I look forward to meeting some of you out there!
Herne Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Booked the event, waiting for the wife to make up her mind if she wants a few days in sunny vegas. I have no idea what is taking her so long.
SCG_motoadve Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I don't need anyone to bring anything, but thanks. The event is open to the public on Saturday and Sunday. Friday is setup. Jason You should really consider having a VR headset there, IL2 BOS is spectacular in VR, well above any other sim, don't waste the opportunity to show it off. 4
=EXPEND=CG_Justin Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 You should really consider having a VR headset there, IL2 BOS is spectacular in VR, well above any other sim, don't waste the opportunity to show it off. I agree. If you have something that makes your product shine, why not? I have not even played in VR, but TrackIR alone is enough for me to sing the praises. 1
Y-29.Silky Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Since I'm technically a resident, I will be there!
WWGeezer Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 WingWalkers were overdue for a reunion for the squad. The combination of Vegas, BOX being our current favorite sim and Flight Expo was enough convergence to make it sound fun. Looks like a number of us will be attending. Thanks for the heads up Jason.
katdog5 Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 I agree. If you have something that makes your product shine, why not? I have not even played in VR, but TrackIR alone is enough for me to sing the praises. Yes get that Rift on a reporters head. IL2 is left out if every major top 10 VR list. thats crazy. what devs have have done with optimization and attention to VR to this point is astonishing. 90 fps with clouds and other planes with the Kuban landscape is simply the best experience out there. Although you would need a $3000 pc laying around and a headset going on hundreds of disgusting heads all day. haha.

Yeah but how much new customers could VR attract, once you try it everything else goes in second plan. Also there is a face protection for VR headset. You're right about il2 not being listed among top 10 VR games, it should be in top 3 claiming first place.
SCG_motoadve Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Actually it will attract lost of new Il2 customers. I read many people are getting into Il2 , just because VR, so they were VR flight simmers first ,and they tried Il2 in VR and they got hooked. Oculus forums , you can read about it, Reddit too, and some VR reviews. I have tried all the major sims in VR, and there is no contest Il2 BOS in VR its in another level. And since it is a Flight simmers convention, what a better place to show it off and attract customers you wouldn't have attracted otherwise. 1
katdog5 Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) yeah i agree, if i were involved with the company it would be set up for sure with geeked out hardware and maxed settings there is no doubt this is the most advanced flight sim engine in the world Edited February 4, 2018 by katdog5
II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Looking like I may be able to make it for Saturday.

chiliwili69 Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Jason, That´s great to have 1GCS as a platinum sponsor. In the last 25 years I have been in many international tradeshows and exhibitions in both sides of the booths, as a customer and as a vendor. Honestly, I know quite a bit about products demos of all kind. Basically you go there to impact the visitors and the press. To do that you need to stand out over the others. 2018 is the true year of VR, if you don´t take this chance it will be a really missed opportunity. Large TV 4k are nice, but if you want to really impress people allow a couple of proper setups for VR (HOTAS, Seat, pedals, etc), specially the press. But when I say VR, I am not referring to Rift or Vive, but to VivePro and possibily Pimax 8K. So, yes you need a VivePro for the Dev team in Moscow. No problem, next 5th of april I can order one and ship it to Moscow. You also need a Pimax 8K. No problem, we can talk with the Pimax guys and get one device for your team in Moscow. They will love to be in that exhibition in Las Vegas. So, if you show VivePro and Pimax8K in las vegas I can guarantee you that many VR press will be in your booth eager to test the IL-2 Great Battles. No doubt. It is more than two motnhs from now. There is enough time to plan it. Now it is up to you. 1
