Used to love online play. But just didn't have the time to keep up with it and rumors of cheating and FM modding just got to be too much.

I played it until I got a new controller, Thrustmaster HOTAS X - somehow the rudder is inverted and there's no way to set it straight, is there?

 

And it's not a hardware problem because with WOE it works just fine!

I consider it my virtual WWII aircraft museum. I can fly aircraft in IL-2 that I cannot fly anywhere else. While the FMs may not be perfect, they are pretty darned good. Flying a simulated B-25 or PE-2 mission is a treat for an aviation buff like myself.

 

I know a lot of folks are working to make SF2 a good WWII sim but they have a long way to go to get to IL-2 and, of course, there are some WWII mods unavailable to the unworthy like myself.

yeah, when binding it press the left rudder instead of the right if it's reversed

Yes, conditionally. I used to play it more than now (considering it's 10 yrs old, not surprising really), but I do still fire it up every other month or so. I had one of the UP mods for awhile, but now I'm just at 4.10.1.

 

I don't play MP much because 1) I'm too casual for most still flying it (no CEM, labels, engine overheat off, etc) 2) I only play coop, I don't like flying against humans (which more likely than not have so much more stick time than me it's not enjoyable) and 3) I have an irregular schedule so I'm online whenever and can't make promises on showing up.

 

As stated, though, I still have it despite its wacky AI for all the planes I can't fly anywhere else.

In order to play it off-line I would recommend the UP3RC4/DBW add-on to Il-2 1946-4,10.1, which provides a huge quantity of very well integrated and smooth-running mods, including the option of an AI mod which greatly improves the game-play. All free of course.

I still play it once in awhile, although I only fly bombers for the most part. Never got the hang of dogfighting in Il-2.
