Hi All,

I am trying to go back to sims and I am a bit confused. Is it OK to use Steam platform to install IL-2?

 

Cheers,

Segler

Hey Segler!  

Great to hear from you.  I hope you're doing well.  It's been... 10+ years?

This is a perpetual question: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/81398-sorry-for-the-newb-question-steam-vs-stand-alone/

In the past, I think it mattered, as Steam was updated more slowly.

However, nowadays, I don't think it matters as much.  They're interchangeable in terms of server access, etc.  So you're not missing anything by going one or the other.

However, once you're on Steam, you're stuck on Steam.  And once you're standalone, you're standalone.  You can't mix or match.

Others might have other thoughts.

Not sure if that helps!

Btw, @Segler - I've DM'ed you our Discord.  If you're interested in joining us online.

Hi Klaiber! Pretty much 10+! I was surprised to be able to log in!

I already have CloD in Steam, installed, but it does not run for some reason.

Not sure about CloD.  I think that's mostly moved over to the Blitz Edition, which is still being updated: https://store.steampowered.com/app/754530/IL2_Sturmovik_Cliffs_of_Dover_Blitz_Edition/

 

Well, I need to remember how to fly first :)

And that also has Wings of Tobruk: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1049440/IL2_Sturmovik_Desert_Wings__Tobruk/

That’s the one I have, yes.

I hear you!  I've been taking a break from flying recently, and every time I jump in an aircraft, I feel like I'm learning to walk again.

Ah, it is not a correct Segler

I sent you a request.

I meant I DM'ed you on the forums.

I'll send you the link on Discord.
