I've just completed a profile for IL-2 for my HOTAS Cougar and could not find enough commands to fill every button position on the stick.

I've had IL-2 since release and find it an enjoyable alternative to Aces High. Offline is fun but if you venture online be sure to download a free online game finder called Hyperlobby which much of the IL-2 community use to play online.

I just got IL-2 for X-mas.
Neat game, but there is no gunsight crosshairs on any planes. It seems to be way off to the left.

Say's it all, and now that you know, you'll find tweaks on your hotas to make the views work, and the mouse view is what just makes it really cool.

As much as the limited 6 views in IL-2 seem realistic to me, and the mouse view blows away AH, I just hate the rear view looks as it doesn't compensate for a body leaning at all.

Oh well. It's still a way better flightSIM experience than most. More you fly it, the more you'll like it.

Install the boxed version.
Add 1.1a
73.4MB. It addressed the issues that required the interim patches and added some planes.

Add 1.2
28.4MB It added some planes and fixed a couple things but was mainly just a free updgrade.

Add1.2ov ONLY if you want to mess with voice files and add English or whatever other language is supported so your options are more than the default Russian or German.

If you want to add 1.2ov you MUST add 1.2 first or things will not work.

Personally, the first thing I did was turn off the text and voice in the conf. file.

If interested just open the conf file look at [game] and change
NoSubTitles=0 to =1  (note letter case, must concur.)
No Chatter=0 to =1

thx sunchaser.. appreciated as I don't have the time/patience to read all the crap on their webpage :)

now if they'd simply put the files in a list and put the readme's elsewhere.. instead of having the readmes' under each link for each file.

yeah I know.. lazy me

or better yet.. put them on the website in order.. sheesh :)

Only thing I don't like is the views, your head is stuck in one place.  You are looking right at the bar in up view, for instance.  

Other than that I absolutely love the game, it is beautiful.  

FM 'feels' the same as AH to me to be honest.  I can do all the stuff I do in AH in IL-2, although I can do pretty hammer heads in IL-2 that I haven't really gotten down in AH.

What he said...really dont understand the limit of head flexibility..Some like it and think its more realistic..
Thier choice I supose..I find it limits my SA and my imersion at the same time..there is that secret place over your shoulder...you can look there when you are driving your pickup..but not your FW..
Cant believe they dont add that simple thing...
But otherwise. and in spite of that....WOW.

I thought the view system was to restrictive until i mapped the mouse look onto my joystick. after that it hasnt been an issue with me.  I still wish that it had AH view system but I can live with it :)

The mouse view system works just as well in AH, I have the mousestick on my Cougar mapped for both games.
