Be aware that if you do, you will never be able to go back. It really changes the game  into a different experience. 

 

So does a 4K monitor.

Actually VR does occasionally remind me of this....

 

 

The resolution of current VR isn’t a whole lot better than European Air War literally 20 years ago, and I can see why it might really be inadequate for online dogfighting. You are all pretty much right on, but I don’t fly online at this point and the depth perception and immersion factor of being able to easily fly formation, judge distances, see around or through cockpit frames, read instruments and actually judge range and deflection is so much different now that I can’t even fly a flat screen any more. It is just my opinion though. I enjoy different things about this than most people. And yes, I prefer to fly in a real plane too, I just can’t really afford it.

 

I will release my Spitfire campaign as soon as the update is out and I can resave the missions binary files.. I have flown the Spit about all I care to for now.  Then I will move on the flying the Me262 until the P38 is released. That could be 2 more little scripted campaigns in the works. I sure hope they get the Central Europe map done soon... That’s really going to give us some new material.

I played it for years. What a great game. I wouldn't mind if IL2:GB would integrate some of EAWs, SWOTLs and Aces over Europes concepts. Those were great sims back then.

[Jaegermeister]

Yeah, I played EAW for a while too. That was the one that hooked me up until MS Combat Flight Sim 2 came out. The comic strip theme was totally cool. The rest were mostly too buggy around that time until IL2 came out.

Me too! Those flight sims had a fantastic game play and the career mode in EAW, RB or Aces over the Pacific/Europe was absolutely great!

Conversely, that was what I hated about it most! That was the first PC game I actually took back and exchanged for something else.

EAW was the drug that addicted me therefore, I blame it on the divorce...
