You can see the flames do fade out after the engine starts to properly spool  up.

 

Well flame-a-doodle-do. Good point and much obliged to you, Sir. Given it seemed to be swinging onto the runway, I had not twigged that the thing was starting.

 

Nice one to you and good call from the dev. team.

Well it seems its engine isn't going to be revamped or improved to the level of Korea so it will get new content and die a slow death. Not terrible, but not great either.

Well, that's what I'm afraid of...

Not surprise but disappointed. There still so many theaters and periods of WW2 still not covered by the last Il-2 series. Personally I already wait a lot of years and spend a lot of money in Il-2 with the hope that one day we could have a DLC about the Battle of France, the Flying Tigers in Burma the MTO theaters… I am not going to follow the Korea adventure and probably buy the next Il-2 Cliffs of Dover expansion Fortress and Focke-Wulfs to be able to fly a B-17 instead of a Mig…

What we all hoped for (I guess) !

Bring it on ... the sooner the better.

Nice to know there is *no* overlap with Jason's CP ... now we sure don't have to choose one or the other ... BOTH it will be !

And then there still is IL-2 GB getting the new engine too !?

 

[That new Cliffs of Dover expansion ... ???? If they *ever* get that VR-code de-bugged ... somewhere around ... 2041 !? (I sure hope I am mistaken and it all happens today 🙂)

Anyway, it is also on my list ... whenever that will happen.]

Hawker Sea Fury Korean Operations Airspace Historian, 44% OFF

 

Land based!? I thought they only flew off carriers during the war?

Hmmm, I have seen pictures of Sea Furies that had landed at US bases in Korea  due to mechanical issues or damage but also staged at Kai Tak airfield in Hong Kong as replacement aircraft. HMS Unicorn would ferry replacements out to the operations area from there. But nothing in my books shows them operating ashore like the US Marines did. That doesn't mean they never did, but I haven't seen any pics.

But doing some digging, I found a caption for this photo that shows it is sitting at Iwakuni Japan, 1951.

That makes sense. British carriers typically operated on station for 11 days. Four days of flight ops, three days of un-rep then four more days of flight ops. Then they would be replaced by a US carrier before sailing to Iwakuni for a rest and relief period. The aircraft are flown off to a shore base before the ship enters harbor and fly back on when she leaves. 

 

This one was from HMS Sydney and had a mechanical issue.

Ah! I thought it might be something like that.

 

Yes, the reading I've done suggests something similar. So if we want a Commonwealth aircraft before the carrier technology is finished - the best bet would be an RAAF Meteor F.8. The Sea Fury seems very popular though.

Forgot this one. Another one with a mechanical issue at a US base.

No helicopters!!! I'm not buying this game until I can fly as Mickey Rooney in a green hat. 😝

I'm happy that you guys are finally having the ability to do this. I remember the 2012 interview where it was revealed that Korea was planned in the 2000's, but got pushed aside for other projects. I'm proud of your work. ❤

I'm afraid to ask, but what will the system requirements be for this new sim?

I'm glad the devs decided to be ambitious with the campaign gameplay and added a management layer possibility. I hope it turns out fine. I remember older sims having very ambitious campaings, Rowan's Battle of Britain and A2A's second iteration of the same title are still unsurpassed in that regard.

 

Any design concept that aims to a deeper and better SP gameplay experience is music to my ears.

Is Korea going to become the only focus in terms of new maps/theaters/planes, or is it just going to be the primary focus, while there might be other theaters explored for the "Battle of X" series? 

I'm excited either way, but it would be nice to have some new developments on the WWII front as well, though I know that just creates an even bigger workload.

Korea is just the next module. I can see them do one more Korea module focused more on carriers, or they might go to a different setting immediately after this one.

Sounds super cool!
 Wonder if spotting on my 4k monitor will still be mission impossible?
Totally ruined the game once i switched to a 4k, have not been able to fly multiplayer since (just 100% blinded compared to what i was)
 Plans to fix this situtation? Otherwise its just a no-buy i guess 😕

Can't most 4k monitors be used with a lower resolution?

I am looking forward to the Korean IL2 series. It is the logical next step from WWII fighter aircraft, including the first jets, to the first 'jet vs jet' fighter battles in the skies over Korea. I have always been fascinated by the Sabre and Mig 15 jets and have fortunately seen both aircraft flying impressively at air shows. The Mig 15 is a particularly interesting aircraft, having been developed from the British Government giving the Russian Government several centrifugal British jet engines. Mikoyan was very quick to design a compact jet fighter around these engines and the Mig 15 was born, to be thoroughly tested by Russian pilots over North Korea (Mig Alley) against the US Sabre jets.

 

Being a 'Mission Maker' I am looking forward to seeing the Korean theatre map and creating some interesting historic missions. I have already made several Mig vs Sabre missions in DCS, which work very well, though not on a real area map. It will be good to have the familiarity of our current flight sim in the new flight sim, though reading the brief, there will be quite a few changes.

 

I will always be interested in our WWII piston engine fighter aircraft, so well made in our current flight sim, especially the new German Ta152H-1 Focke-Wulf, which has just been added.

Apologies for poor quality of maps below.

are you plying without icons on online servers vs humans ? In this game there is big advantage for using low res in spoting its realy bad when you get on coms and ppl around you call contacts you aint see untill its to late, and main differance is how they set up contrast gamma rez... there was even topic showing how mutch bigger dot is using low rez vs native

Spotting was great for me at 4K, going all the way back to Kuban release.

Perhaps you two should state what monitor size you have/had. That can make a major difference with regard to the pixel density.

For 4k I would suggest at least 42 inch monitor. For 3440x1440 34 is good, better 2560x1080.

I think we plan to have it, but that's probably a topic for a dev blog entry.
