The_Math_Teacher Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Wow! it looks amazing thanks for sharing
sturmkraehe Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I just wish that sometime they take the time to rework the skins. The colour where the paint chipped off is too blunt imho which looks pretty fake and not metal like.

smink1701 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Looks cool. Hopefully the water will be turned on soon for all of us without service.

Bussard_x Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Fantastic, IL-2 is a great beast, causing devastating in the ground attack. But you have to be aware of the Flak. Mission with attack on German airfield is the kind of mission we can expect in the campaign I guess. Escorted by LaGGs, 109s with emergency take off to intercept. Air battle starts with Flak fire all over the place, and on the background the thick black smoke colums from Stalingrad. Edited February 14, 2014 by Benz
JG4_Sputnik Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Strange I dont get full power to start in the il2... only about 2080rpm when I go to full throttle. Has anyone else this problem?
Bussard_x Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Strange I dont get full power to start in the il2... only about 2080rpm when I go to full throttle. Has anyone else this problem? Change propellor pitch to max.
Sandhill Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 While ground attacking in an Il-2 Stalingrad is a dangerous place!!! Those guys are SHOOTING at me!!!
JG4_Sputnik Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Change propellor pitch to max. Guess what I was trying to do But strangely it wont help - when I start with Il2 the other Il2's they pass me by just after a few meters, I can barely take off (130 kmh at the end of the runway). The LaGG and Bf109 work just normal. Very strange ???
Rjel Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 This is a good update. The flak and AAA are amazing. Watching the tracers rounds fly past and curve into the distance is very convincing. The smoke over Stalingrad looks darker and heavier to me. FPS don't seem to be taking as heavy a hit as last week. Fires on the ground in the city look very good too.
TheGreatKotobuki Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Does anyone find the flak to be a bit too accurate? In the Stalingrad ground attack mission I only last a minute over the place! 1
Endy Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Raptor -- Yes, whilst checking my controls on the ground, I get hit after a short time and explode. On the small map too. Edited February 14, 2014 by Endy
Freycinet Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 It is really becoming a world that feels alive. I love the variety and intensity of the explosions and flak over Stalingrad. Il-2 is a nice "limousine" to fly, as the Chief Designer called it. The armour plating on the side windows is terribly limiting on the outside view, quite claustrophobic. Landing and takeoff very easy, directional stability excellent in ground attack. You can just place the pipper on your target and it will stay there. I can easioly see how it can become the favourite ride of ground-pounders... BTW, the controls reset was a real pain, hope we won't have too many of those... It should be possible to automatically port over the controls that one has already set and that remain unchanged. This is a good update. The flak and AAA are amazing. Watching the tracers rounds fly past and curve into the distance is very convincing. The smoke over Stalingrad looks darker and heavier to me. FPS don't seem to be taking as heavy a hit as last week. Fires on the ground in the city look very good too. I actually thought the fires were not very pretty... - But I'm down to "balanced" settings, so that may be why...
Sethos Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Here's my quick survival run in the IL-2, just to see the new flak and how the IL-2 behaved.
sallee Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 First impressions? Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Bussard_x Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 We have F1 view from parachute and the radio chatter stops after bailing, very good!!!
Wolfstriked Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Is there a change in cockpit view camera?I am asking because when I pitch the plane up or down now the sight moves up and down on my screen.Sims do it to simulate the g-forces of you rising in your seat or being compressed into your seat but right now its overblown. Has it always been this way? Edited February 14, 2014 by wolfstriked
Phantom-103 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Y I K E S ! ! AAA are SNIPERS!!! They must have gone to Navy Seal "Captain Phillips" School this week IL2 is Magnificent!!!
Bussard_x Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Y I K E S ! ! AAA are SNIPERS!!! They must have gone to Navy Seal "Captain Phillips" School this week IL2 is Magnificent!!! Fly in patterns like AI IL-2 is doing! 1
StG2_xgitarrist Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Is it a bug or is the F4 way too fast on ground level? I was able to fly easy 570 kmh ... what happened???
Emgy Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) It got that top speed after the cold air started to effect the engine Edited February 14, 2014 by Calvamos

Av8erJ Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I wanted to shoot down a whole bunch of IL-2's. Disappointed that I can't. Oh well maybe later.
Fifi Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I really like the new wheel sounds when touching/rolling ground!!! It helps for landings, mainly in the Lagg I now can delete any sensitivity curve ...planes are handling nicer and nicer without curves here! Still waiting patiently for Lagg and IL trims 1
AX2 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Congratulations Developers!!! The fly of Il2 is beautifully , I felt the FM is very very good modelled . Also the IL2 cannons and machine guns have more dispersion in accuracy than the Lagg3, Maybe the you have a fix in progress for Lagg3 weapons? , Please The smoke over Stalingrad is totally reworked , I have a 2- 3 years old PC for now , my FPS in the smoke over Stalingrad at low level raises form 12 FPS to 28 - 33 FPS ! please keep the optimizations in FPS UP and better ! The artillery explosions on the runway are amazing !!!! I felt very VERY scared in the Il2 Sturmovik takeoff ! OMG amazing FX !!! The IL2 37mm guns accuracy Is very realistic god job ! Edited February 15, 2014 by Mustang
AndyJWest Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 First impressions? The Il-2 flies like I'd expect it to - slow, heavy, but something I'd trust my life with. Once the trim is sorted out, it will probably be ideal for newbies to learn to fly in too.
1CGS LukeFF Posted February 15, 2014 1CGS Posted February 15, 2014 Guess what I was trying to do But strangely it wont help - when I start with Il2 the other Il2's they pass me by just after a few meters, I can barely take off (130 kmh at the end of the runway). The LaGG and Bf109 work just normal. Very strange ??? The controls for the Il-2 work the exact same way as those in the Lagg-3.
pilotpierre Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Great update as always but 2 negatives for me. AAA far too accurate. Don't like the flames for the oil fires along the river, I'll get flamed for this, but I think they are a bit amateurish. The IL2 engine management took me a bit of getting used to before I stopped burning out engines.
Kublai Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 IL2 is a beauty to fly. The new FX are amazing- crashes, explosions, fires so very cool. The only bummer is AAA - way too deadly. Has anyone been able to score some kills and complete a mission and land? Great job so far. This is going to be an awesome CFS.
cobbman11 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 What a beautiful machine! It's like riding on the back of a condor. The AAA lights eat a few frames when they're trained right between my eyes BUUUUUUT the performance over Stalingrad has been greatly improved. Excellent update!
JG4_Sputnik Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Thanks Luke i will try again today. Try this though: Fly at 100m and 300kmh and pull the stick full force to your body. The Il2 pulls up, rolls to the side and like it was on rails flys straight on without major altitude lost. Is that normal? It seems that you almost cant crash this plane by bad piloting. Even barrel rolls at very low alt is possible like it was a dogfight plane. Was the IL2 that good? What do you think?
cobbman11 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 How about those first steps into a cockpit. (Sorry for Teasing) These are some luscious screenshots. Are you using SweetFX?
SYN_Vorlander Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 During take off, flying, fighting and landing I have a big smile on my face. Epic. I love it
Steambat Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Love the feel of the IL2 a sheer delight to fly. Feels really wonderful, slow, bulky and like driving an old double decker bus! Awesome in the ground attack, I don't know if it's me but hitting targets with rockets is a lot more accurate in the IL2 than the Lagg. As too the AA - they have got better have'nt they? Too accurate I don't know, as a single plane entering the area around Stalingrad you are the only target so it would appear they have an open day on you. With more aircraft in the area I suspect this will change. Much the same with most the comments here - this is a real piece of class work and setting new standards in the flight sim world, great effort guys!
