I like how IL-2 Controls are so smooth and so realistic. I play War Thunder Simulator but then I saw this game and the controls on the joystick is much more realistic. Harder but better more realistic and much smoother controls.
Love this game, but still somewhat of a newb. How do you manage such smooth tight turns without stalling? I try to use full realism with the exception of 'complex engine management' But even if I use an F6F Hellcat vs some 1936 era biplanes, they seem to be able to run circles around me.
Il2 is a great sim but why don't aircraft burn as they often did in real life, it was far more likely to burn an aircraft than to blow it's wing or tail off?
This game has ruined my life. Scary high hours of gameplay. I wish Steam didn't track it! Huge learning curve (For me anyway) but truly exhilarating. On a good rig the game really shines.
I was an avid player of MCFS and I remember when this game first came out about 15 years ago...I had to quit playing MCFS because of work and family but now I'm older and got more spare time...this vid made me want to get into flight sims again...Just what do you think is actually needed software and hardware wise to comfortably get started? From what I have seen it is a bit pricey but looks worth it? Cheers - 2Dogs
I presonally can recommend you to buy a joystick. It doesn't need to have a lot of buttons as the most important buttons will be the firing triggers/buttons, but it's more to be able to fly precisly and without too much "struggling". Make sure you have a throttle with the Joystick, and also some kinds of rudder either on the joystick or rudder pedals. Rudder isn't too "important" for jets but in this case with the torque, prop wash, etc. having some kind of rudder control is definitly a must if you want to take off and land without crashing. What I also can recommend is TrackIR or something similar. This way you can follow the target more easily and you also loose some binded buttons on the joystick (depending which one you have) to map them to other functions. As for Hardware, here's the recommendation from the developers: OS: 64-bit Windows® 7 (SP1) / Windows® 8 / Windows® 10 CPU: Intel® Core™ i5/i7 2.8 ГГц GPU: GeForce GTX 660/Radeon HD 7770 with 2GB VRAM or better DirectX: Version 11 RAM: 4 Gb+ Sound Card: DirectX®-compatible Storage space: 10 Gb+ Internet connection: 256Kb/s for single-player campaign, 1Mb/s and faster for multi-player DirectX® compatible flight stick is recommended As you can see, it's not a too high recommendation but still not too low. And you can also see, they recommend you a Joystick :D About the price: I think it's definitly worth the 6 or 8 planes that you will get for that amount of money, especially if you are interested in warbirds.
Well, If you don't want to put crazy amount of money into hardware, you should just buy some joystick and pedals. +For more intensive gameplay you can buy things such as speed / flaps lever, etc.
Jack Fuller sure, who doesn't I was just testing them how the planes behave and how to shoot them and it was for fun. In a more serious enviroment I wouldn't take them with me.
Razor Yeah, seems to be the consensus amongst sim pilots that you're better off without the gun pods. Btw, how does the mkV spit in IL2 compare with the mkIX in DCS?
I like the one in IL2 a bit more because you don't depart as early as in dcs with the same amount of pulling the stick (not at low speeds) but other than that, they feel quite similar, just that you don't have to care too much about cooling the engine with the mkV. Engine management though is a bit different obviously.
Make sure that your monitor can display 4K and that you have enough Internet bandwith for youtube to actually stream it on 4K. If you still don't see a difference, try changing the game resolution settings from 4K to HD and you'll definitly see the difference

Biplanes are much more maneuverable than any monoplane. Try to fight something bigger with only one wing.
Very good and instinctive deflection shooting...
Thanks!
damn this is epic. as a fan of WW2 aircraft this is too cool for me
Yes I Too
Why does this look like a game that would come out today? nice graphics
I have IL 2, and this is on Multiplayer, or is it a mission? Cause I have been trying to set up a big dogfight for a while now
Multiplayer
What configuration is needed to play this game at max setting 4k?
Anything better than a 4790K, 16Gb RAM and a 980Ti and you'll get towards what you want
@@Razor_Sim I got i5 6400, 16 GB RAM. Looks like I should upgrade GPU (GTX 760).

unless if his gun shoot his fuel tank

Then why did this game ruin your life?
@@Blkbr420 he is saying he wastes way too much time on it
Are you using trackIR for the head movement?
Yes
3:16 Epic xD

Thanks so much for the reply! awesome dude, thanks and I dropped a sub for ya ;)
You're welcome and thanks for the sub :D

I see you like a lot of cannons on your planes.
Jack Fuller sure, who doesn't

Razor Sweet, cheers for all the replies
I dont see any difference between FullHD and 4k... Looks like 4k is kinda marketing bullshit for PC. Maybe for huge TV it is good.

@@Razor_Sim My PC would run this game in 10 fps in 4k, but on youtube i dont see much difference.
A lots of kills. Meet grinder.
Brutal man. MORE
Looks better than war thunder in every way
WT is a arcade game, IL2 is a sim
@@FrostyyMcToasty WT sim is a gateway warbird sim id say
