Il-2 Sturmovik v2 - Games - Facepunch Forum

Has anybody set up a server or something? There was alot of talk about playing this weekend.

Yeah there was. I suppose I could get one hosted, but we need a few more players before it gets fun.

Thinking of reinstalling.

Anybody who'd be interested in playing should post, now.

I'd play, but it's too late now I need to get up early tomorrow. :saddowns:

I just got the trial for the xbox 360. If I like it enough I'll be getting this for PC.

So I was flying along in my b-24 planning to fuck someones shit up on the ground when out of nowhere my plane is in about 50 different kinds of fucked up I watched the replay and found this. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhnIz21lgZE[/media]

My friend accidentally recorded a session IL-2 a long time ago. [media] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=armjO8f2ypY[/url] [/media] Yeah, that's me in the background.

brb, I'm fixing my install. Does anybody play on any good servers? I don't know if there are new ones.

We should get some FP server up like on the old days. Especially now since I can fly. Post your MP kills! I only have one, my kittyhawk vs KI-87. We entered a climbing contest and he managed to stall into a tailspin somehow, so I shot him the fuck up whilist descending. Happened a year ago. Felt good.

Reinstalling my copy on steam, anything I need to DL to play with you guys? [editline]11th November 2010[/editline] Oh it's already installed, still, anything to DL?

I think that all aircraft arcade planes pack or something.

HSFX 4.1, it's basically AAA but much better. [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/HSFX_Version_4_1.EXE.torrent[/url] [url]http://filesmelt.com/dl/HSFX42.torrent[/url] Only torrents available, all other download links are down.

It keeps getting stuck at 95% ingame, does it not like vista?

I don't know about vista, but it works fine in Windows 7.

This B-24 was taken down by a pilot bailing out of another plane and hitting the wing [img]http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/5563/broken20wingllib1ki.jpg[/img] There is a 3 picture group I cannot find right now looking from the ball turret of a B-17 looking down and photographing another B-17 being hit by falling bombs, breaking up and falling away...

I'm thinking about buying this, it's only 10 euros and looks worth your money, and I always wanted a plane simulator game. Just a question, can you also play using the mouse for controls? because i have no joystick...

Keyboard is just fine. Everyone will say that it is impossible to play without a joystick, but in reality it's fine. It's much harder to do finite moves and as a consequence it will be much harder to shoot down other planes, but you'll get used to it. Hell I used to play with my keyboard all the time against these guys. While I didn't do very well, I can't say I didn't have fun. You should look into picking up a joystick though. It makes the game much more enjoyable overall if you have one.

I found one of €20 so far, but still, I think i should just test if I like the game before buying a joystick [editline]11th November 2010[/editline] Just bought it, waiting for steam to finish downloading

Ahh damnit. It was working, but then i went and added the MAT manager, and that fucked it up at 95% again. I'm just thinking of leaving the damn thing stock. Any modding seems to blow Il-2's mind.

Oh damn, in my playtime for it, steam says I've played it for 22 hours.

[QUOTE=8BitLord;25994210]Oh damn, in my playtime for it, steam says I've played it for 22 hours.[/QUOTE] I have "60 minutes played today". Which doesn't make sense...because today has consisted of 5 attempts to play, all resulting in 95% load errors, then the game not responding.

It retails here for 20 USD. I imagine it should be a very similar price wherever you live.

The Saitek Av8r is damn good, I have the -01 variation and I love it.

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;25994710]Logitech Attack3 is a nice cheap pair. It retails here for 20 USD. I imagine it should be a very similar price wherever you live.[/QUOTE] that would be around €17 anyway, it's done downloading :woop: Just hope it works

I recently got Rise of Flight and it made me enjoy flying the older planes all over again. I had a nice little battle between some I-16's and some Gladiators. Nothing quite like an old turn-fight with some really nimble planes. It almost feels like cheating when you take the I-16-24 (I think that's the one) with the 2 7.62 in the nose, and the 20mm cannons in the wings. It's easy to get on someone's tail, and you can usually take apart their plane once you're there.

I didn't realise "Wings of Prey" on Steam was the sequel. I wish they'd put IL-2 Sturmovich before it, I almost completely missed it. The DRM is tough to deal with at first but the game is worth it.

The closest thing Il-2 is getting to a "sequel" is Storms of War: Battle of Britain (Or whatever the hell they end up calling it in the end)

Anyone know why I get low fps? I used to run at max on my old graphics card, now I have a whole lot better and I get like 20 fps.
