The current sim there uses 3x rear projectors to give a 270 (3x90) degree FOV around the pilot. This is unfortunately not possible in the Great Battles...



There is a very easy and good solution to this problem: Our two museums with the  Messerschmitt cockpits can remove or sell those "old stylish" video screens and three cameras. Then they can buy a new powerfull computer with the 2000 series graphics card and also VR-set. They can still use the awesome Messerschmitt cockpits where everything is in the right places when flying with the Bf 109 G-2 and G-6 fighters. It should be a really "WYSIWYG = What You See Is What You Get!" You feel the rudder pedals, stich and throttle handle and you can even touch the panels, side walls and other instruments there. And you also "see" them all! I quess it should be an awesome feeling and immersion. Or do you know better? :)

And all those who are asking screenshots: we have a deal that we can't show anything, I'm sorry. Work is processing all the time.

It looks so promising.

The Winter War is of great interest to me and I even would  pay a good price for such an IL-2 extension. I very much hope that this project will soon become a reality.

I will definitely do campaigns for Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey. Thanks to help by Finnish community members I already have all necessary information.

 

Of course there are all kinds of other campaigns that could be created on the map, especially if we get versions of the map for different seasons and when the developers decide to give us some of the Finnish air force aircraft mentioned above.

 

 

 

..and that is also a great initiative. Thanks, in advance for this project, Juri.

Or get some training in by listening to Frank Zappa - Have I Offended Someone?

 

That on a side note. Actual purpose of the post: Getting some cheerleading in for our Finnish friends.

Don't worry. I have the feeling that the project is moving on because otherwise you would have told us so.

And I recall that you said sth about a silent agreement. That is very good because sth very big is being cooked! :)

Don't worry about us, we'll wait the extra 2 week ;) with patience.

SB-2 vs DB-3 vs Su-2 

We have these 3 options, but only 2 places available. Which ones are the best?

Naturally SB-2 and DB-3. They were used on both sides and were common sight especially in early part of war. I hardly remember any mention about Su-2 from Finnish combat records.

You see... I know the answer, but I expect the members of the community themselves to expose their knowledge, just for fun! I saw mr. @LLv44_Kanttori post about a beatifull and orange landscape, near leningrad. I guess... Karelia. It's a beatiful country, we need this battle.

If you mean my Facebook profile picture it's from our Finnish national landscape called Koli and lake Pielinen. This beautiful place is in North Karelia near my home town Joensuu. My grandson is coming next week to me and we are going to visit there. If you ever travel to Finland, then forget Helsinki and visit North Karelia! :)

A request to the developer, if part of it can already be seen in ME editor, it would be super nice to give some information or pictures now, as an anti-Covid 19 depression .....

We can live in hope, would be great to have the theater even if only using existing game aircraft that Finland used.:drink2:

 

I still fire up the old game for my regular fix, many campaigns out there but it would be great to have a fully modern iteration of any of the Finnish areas, Information on the map has been vague for a long time now, we know one is in process but not where and when it will be available for the player, soon hopefully.;)

 

Take care and be safe.

 

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.:biggrin:

If there would be a dedicated campaign for this expansion, they could add the the air attack of Ju 87's on Kronstadt. Here Hans-Ulrich Rudel sank the battleship Marat. I can recall this mission vividly from the older IL-2 games. Massive stuka formation towards Kronstadt. It would also mean new ships could be added to the game that would make the current palet of ships which we can attack and see more interesting.

just map area would be enought for start, i counted we gona get some info about it around x mas, but still no news.

If we get map and maybe few SP missions  or scripted campaign with existing airplanes in game, we can start thinking what airplanes they could add trough colector airplanes program.
