It is here. New update for BoX Il2 gets FW 190 D Tank Crew gets two tanks and new hi rez map FC gets D7 f

Somewhere in the near future there will be a BoP. At which side are we in that scenario? Within Allies or Japs which unit will we be? Can we vote? I would love to fly a Val or Gekko but maybe even more a SBD, TBF or TBM.

I'm having issues with extracting historical skins and functional skins for ROF. i got a new computer and am trying to reload everything onto it. i had no problems with the FC skins! does anyone have a good link for ROF? or is there a mod I have to download first? its been so long since the last time i installed them. it just comes up with a "access denied" message after extracting. thanks for the help. see you in the skies(hopefully looking very colorful)!!!

salute all I just got a new computer and oculus rift. but while reloading ROF and FC, I noticed il2 is doing a March madness sale. So I was thinking about expanding into ww2 aviation. would like to know which Battle I should get? I love the p47 and p40.so I definitely want to have those bad boys in the version I buy. do they have any corsairs?

The Dolphin and D.VII are out! Guess I know what I'll be flying in Flying Circus after Wargrounds this Thursday! https://il2sturmovik.com/news/460/update-3011/

I recently found this series on Youtube so I thought I share it.

The VP of the company I work for has a famous great-great uncle. "George Puryear was my great-great uncle, the brother of my great grandfather Will Puryear. There were seven boys born and raised in Dixon Springs, TN. Another of the brothers was Alfred Puryear, who was also an Army officer in the Great War, stationed in Paris and assigned to the “Lighter than Air†service. Alf made a career of the Army, as did another brother Rom (Major General Romulus Wright Puryear, USAF). I knew Uncle Alf well, as he did not pass until 1982 and so I was fortunate to hear him tell of his experiences. I have his sword, and my brother, named after him, has his uniform and medal…

S! All They posted a quickie patch for IL2. Now it shows previous chat. Other small fixes.

Big ice storm, as of 3pm internet is down. It's not letting up and I might not make it online tonight.

S! All Big sale on IL2 products. Anywhere from 25% to 60%. Update fixes several bugs. game should run much better.

... edit: it looks like I can't upload a picture, nor, apparently, can I just delete a post. But rest assured, it was a funny picture!

Edit: I thought about it, and no reason to make this all about my one build I am commissioning. Why not talk about all manner of custom setups? For instance, has anybody here attempted a long-handle/Modern Grip conversion for a MSFFB2? What type of gear do y'all have? --- Some of you may be aware of the Ukrainian custom builder GVL224, but I was not until recently when I fell in love with the idea of a throttle-body that does what I want it to, not what Thrustmaster says. I saw the "IL2: Sturmovik" body commissioned by Jason for some sim convention, and I thought, "Perfect! I can do better!" Some of the button placement makes no sense on the original from a h…

S! You gotta check this out

Hey gents, I made a pretty cool guncam video that I think you can appreciate. It's a sort of montage from a few kills on Berloga while flying a 109 G-2. Would be great if you guys could comment or leave a like on it, and let me know what you think. PS. Not sure how to embed here...

Evening, you disreputable Huns! Recently, I've been entertaining myself with writing a 'novelised' diary, of sorts, documenting my current Thursday Night V-Life, which (should it be long enough) I'm planning on calling 'Blood & Crosses'. As, naturally, you rowdy devils make up a large part of the story, I wondered if you might be interested in reading it yourselves! I'm planning on writing one chapter per week, so if you enjoy it and want more, don't shoot me! Without further ado, here is the first chapter. Fair warning, It's quite long! Chapter 1: Sioux. Our Spad VIIs sat ready in a neat line, the Sioux Indian insignia gleaming in the afternoon sunlight on t…

I just heard about this on the news tonight, and thought it might be of interest! https://globalnews.ca/news/4680928/saskatoon-vintage-german-fighter-plane/

Gotta say that today's special event (Dec 23) on the JG1 FC server was spectacular! Super-duper thanks to Butzzell for having excellent mission maps ready to go, and all those who joined us for the fun! For those who couldn't make it, we missed you, but were probably too involved to remember that at the time Learned a LOT about the Entente planes, and flew them the entire time. At high altitudes, the SPAD is not as dominant over the Pfalz, as it is at low altitudes. I found the Camel flippin' awesome, we cleaned house with it, it turns like crazy and can catch anything on the Central side right now, so is really the most dangerous foe for us. Special …
