One year of IL-2 VR!!

[chiliwili69]

It was the end of the long winter 2017 when VR was included in the IL-2. Many of us were waiting for that moment and others were looking at this with the logical scepticism.

Now, just a year after, we are more than 200 and increasing every month. Look at the numbers:

VR has added a full new dimension to IL-2 and the WOW! is heard every time a new simmer try VR. A WOW! that last for months and years.

VR makes you truly believe that you has participated in a flight mission in the far east. When you remove the headset you think "I have been there!"

New headsets arriving in the market with the prices being reduced every month will allow many more people to enjoy VR in this sim. This 2018 is the inflexion point for VR in IL-2.

Well done Jason and the team! Many thanks for a year of pleasure with this hobby!

Agree completely!

Two things they did that completely got me back in the fold. Attention to the SP aspect of the game, and VR support.

 

I have been flying this sim in VR since the day they released support for it, and just can not get enough.

No telling how many total hours I have in this thing now. Not many days pass I am not flying it in VR.

 

They did a superb job! And I still can not get quite enough of it.

I still play it every day in VR. It's the only game that I can say that about. Right now I am doing the Stalingrad Campaign and its pretty epic fighting over the smoking city.

That isn’t even close to the entire story.  I not only finally started flying in il2 because of VR, I brought my entire (non simming) gamer group.  Now all eight of them fly.  VR made all the difference.

 

None of them use the forums, thus not in the poll

I never saw the poll before! But yes, I took a loooong break before IL2 got VR integration.

I bought it to fly in VR, way back when the game hadn't released yet. I was very pissed off when it wasn't in the game. But it is absolutely amazing.  I feel the integration is fantastic, barring those IPD glitches (fixed with 3.003?) and all the issues we have are the same ones the monitor guys are having. 

 

The game could always be improved, but it is incredible what we currently have. Kudos to the devs.

With IL-2 VR many of my flightsim dreams and longings have come to fruition

Still cant get enough of it...exactly my words. You can play it every evening and still its not enough. Each flight each take off is wonderfull and you are amazed again and again.

 

Without VR I wouldnt play it so long and often. I even ask How can anyone play it without VR? I am in and always will be...

I will typically log around 2-5 hours in most days. Still can't get enough.
