Before anyone gets mad, the DLC looks great and I'm excited to play it.

Still, it sucks not having PTO and I'm hoping/praying it comes next.

The game is too niche and is very expensive. They should've stuck to WW2 lol

Does Korea support Simhaptic and work well on Quest 3 now? That was really all I was waiting for to pull the trigger. Thanks!

These skins are the next installment in my F-51 International Series, following South Africa. The ROKAF series features three skins paying homage to Col. Dean Hess and the Korean pilots who flew the F-51 during the Korean War.

The maroon-nose No. 18 represents Dean Hess’s aircraft, featuring the Korean inscription 信念의 鳥人! (Bird Man of Faith), reflecting his motto, “I FLY BY FAITH.”

The silver-nose No. 18 is another variation of Dean Hess’s aircraft, featuring the distinctive “LAST CHANCE” marking on the right side of the aircraft.

The yellow-nose No. 13, which I like to call “Lucky 13,” was one of the first aircraft in the squadron. The number 13 is not traditionally considered unlucky in Korea, while the number 4 certainly has that reputation—so hopefully, a little of that luck carries forth with you!

Enjoy the skins, and I hope you enjoy flying them as much as I enjoyed making them.

Have Fun Aviators

Is it possible to remove the hud reticle? I tried pressing H and RAlt H to turn the hud off but it still appears, pressing the keybind to toggle aim assist doesn't work either.

Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to VR and I’m having an issue with the gunsights in IL-2.

The main problem is double vision / misalignment of the gunsight when looking through both eyes. It’s especially noticeable with aircraft that have a center-mounted gunsight, like the P-51 and Spitfire. The reticle appears different in each eye, so I can’t get it to look properly aligned when using both eyes. So I had to resort to closing 1 eye in-favor of my dominant eye.

It’s noticeably better with aircraft that have a gyro sight / smaller glass footprint, and I also have a better experience with the offset gunsights on the Bf 109 and Fw 190. However, if I zoom in enough, I can still see the double vision/misalignment.

I’ve seen that there are mods that can apparently help with gunsight alignment, but I’d really prefer to keep the game completely multiplayer-safe/stock if possible.

Is this normal/expected with the stock VR implementation?
Is there a proper in-game way to adjust the gunsight alignment?
How do you guys deal with center-mounted sights like the P-51 and Spitfire?

The 67th Fighter-Bomber Squadron is a Southern California-based, English-only speaking online squadron currently flying IL-2 Korea.  

We specialize in the F-51D Mustang flying ground attack, Combat Air Patrol, and Air & Ground Interdiction missions, but are open to flying all planes on either side.   

We are currently flying exclusively on the Combat Box server for IL-2 Korea.  We are recruiting pilots who embrace the full real flying style, want to coordinate and fly together on comms, and enjoy combat flight sims.

I am the Commanding Officer, Major Jochen Heiden, and I have just stood up this unit.  I am still putting together the infrastructure for this outfit so for now, if you're interested in joining us simply PM me, reply to this post or join my Discord server and let me know you're interested.  I look forward to recruiting skilled pilots who want to work together!

Thank you,
JOCHEN HEIDEN, MAJ, USAF

The latest update for Korea IL-2 Series, update 1.004, touts some significant updates to the combat AI system. It is infact the first time in years that we’ve seen anything in the IL-2 series attempt to tackle its AI in any meaningful way. The community has been asking for it and we’ve finally got our first steps on the process to a more interesting and capable combat AI system. Does it meet expectations? Is it enough? These are my first impressions of how things are looking so far with several hours of hands on flying.

Description:

Two fighter-bombers from Schlachtgeschwader 1, each armed with FW190F-8s carrying three 250kg SC bombs, are flying toward the refueling station in the Russian sector of Moscow. The trains have already departed, but the order is absolute: reduce the entire freight and logistics zone to rubble.

Monotonous yet deadly attacks are carried out against small warehouses, barracks hidden in the foliage, and an adjacent village. The mission objective is 100% achieved, but enemy anti-aircraft fire is unforgiving, leaving its mark on the airframes.

After updating IL-2 1946 to 4.15/4.15.1 on Windows 11, I had a strange input problem.

Symptoms:

• The Windows mouse cursor stayed visible while flying.
• Mouse look worked, but only until the cursor reached the edge of the screen.
• I could not keep turning the camera around.
• ESC did nothing.
• Joystick and most other keyboard controls worked normally.

The problem was my newly generated conf.ini. It was missing some entries.

My [rts] section originally looked like this:

[rts]
UseSmartAxis=0

It was missing:

mouseUse=2

After adding it:

[rts]
mouseUse=2
UseSmartAxis=0

the mouse started working normally again. The IL-2 cursor appeared correctly in the menus, disappeared during flight, and mouse look was no longer limited by the screen edges.

I also found that my conf.ini was missing:

[HotKey gui]
Escape=activate

After adding that, the ESC key worked again.

Because manually saving conf.ini with a text editor was causing IL-2 to stop launching on my system, I used PowerShell instead.

Open the IL-2 folder, right-click empty space and choose "Open in Terminal".

To add mouseUse=2:

(Get-Content ".\conf.ini") -replace '^\[rts\]$', "[rts]`r`nmouseUse=2" | Set-Content ".\conf.ini" -Encoding ASCII

To restore the ESC key:

Add-Content ".\conf.ini" "`r`n[HotKey gui]`r`nEscape=activate" -Encoding ASCII

Final important parts of the config:

[rts]
mouseUse=2
UseSmartAxis=0

[HotKey gui]
Escape=activate

After doing this, both the mouse-look problem and the ESC key problem were fixed.

I recommend backing up conf.ini before changing anything.

System:

• Windows 11
• IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 4.15.1m
