- IL-2 Sturmovik

Key Features:

* New aircraft: incredibly detailed true-to-life modeling of aircraft systems based on thousands of hours of dedicated research. Every single aircraft component can be damaged for realistic and immensely satisfying results.
* Flyable aircraft – Over a dozen famous and highly detailed English, German and Italian aircraft available, with all crew positions open to players. All flyable aircraft have been painstakingly researched, resulting in incredibly accurate cockpit interiors (including Spitfire, Hurricane, Messerschmitt and the Stuka).
* Non-flyable aircraft – 13 AI controlled additional aircraft are also available to allow an even more accurate and immersive experience thanks to a varied aircraft.

WOOHOO!!! Thanks Dan!

I don't think so. New stand alone sim. Just hope the quoted release date will become a reality.

-S-

Over a dozen flyable aircraft...!!..wow...lol..I have a feeling it will not be a fast game like 1946, I hope there will be more aircraft added like the Spitfire Mk 9...looking forward though, all I need is a new video card..lol..

Hello all

Looking forward to new stand-alone sim. I usually do really well when a new combat flight sim comes out, then everyone learns my strat and parks on my six lol...especially Brit1 ( bugger ). I hope to see alot of familiar peeps in this one.

I hope to see Bushy in there, I never really finished shootin' him :)...MoAce too.

[Shades]

Ahhhhh Mo'.
Wonder what he's up to these days.
Good to see you about as well ExO.
Will be driving past you in June.
If you see some fool in a Mustang with the roof down and a Union Jack flying from the aerial.....!
¤§¤

[EURO_EXOWill]

comin' to central CA?...you must stop and see us. You will have a place to spend the night if ya need it. Just let me know when Shades you lil' squirly devil.

oh btw...you fly a Union Jack in my area...just expect to be the focus of a drive by lol....they will think you are a new gang!!

[Shades]

lol
Not sure I'll be able to stop this time around Will.
Taking my folks off for a fortnight while they're still able to travel (and I'm still able to put up with 'em for that long...!).
I'm gonna fly the flag just to wind your boys up now though.

;o)

OK so ...is this out yet, or what? Anyone have it? Thoughts?

I just did some light reading on the ubi.com forums and see the expected whining about low frame rates and such that come with any new sim, so actually I take that as a good sign that it is out now?

FWIW I saw some simply incredible screenshots from some members there...

What's the story with this anti-epilepsy tweak it got at the last minute, or was that a bunch of hooey?

All the posts were very recent (April 1 or 2) so I am assuming it was released in the last couple days?

Apparently a "lawyer concession"* regarding those with photosensitive seizure issues (rapid changing bright lights can induce seizures in certain patients). However, it's not like they don't know that and this could be easily addressed with a EULA statement.

It appears to now have been made optional. See this thread, link to relevant page:

games got some blisteringly bad reviews...cliffs of dover anyone?

[JG300-Stoopy]

Isn't that always the way. I'm trying to remember the last flight sim, or combat flight sim, that didn't get angry reviews from disappointed enthusiasts immediately after being released, and drawing a blank.

Some interesting in-flight videos showing up on Youtube now.
