I’m in the VR beta and am very excited about the future of Cliffs of Dover Blitz and Tobruk in VR. I haven’t tried them all as yet but it looks like most of the single engine aircraft are done and a number of twin engined aircraft, which I am most interested in, are well on the way. No harm in requesting VR Beta access. I had to be patient and a little persistent but got in eventually and am very glad I did. It’s looking very good indeed.

I’m confident they will release the VR update eventually - it’s been a hard task getting VR implemented with the old engine but they are getting there.
If you can’t send PMs on the ATAG forum, just check you meet the forum requirements, I think there are activity requirements and a ToS you have to acknowledge?

I may have tried joining the wrong forum to find the beta VR devs…
Backtracked my moves and found it: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com
Joining the ATAG forum was easy and I have send the PM to request access to the beta VR!

In the end I needed to be registered on both the IL-2 forum and on the ATAG forum (with the same accountname and e-mailadddress) and I already was so the beta registration is on its way

That was quick.
Congratulations.

I could not resist the temptation. I have reinstalled COD/Tobruk from Steam. Its looks beautiful when it wants to cooperate. However there are some problems.
Main Problem is the Ugly propellers. Is there a best setting or something to hide these? Also it seems to take forever to program. I press the key I need and sometimes have to wait. Otherwise it is a beautiful Sim and the Ai seems a little challenging. There is a LOT more aircraft than I remember. I am glad I reinstalled.

Im losing my love for it. I am finding it hard to program . Shame! Such a nice sim. But its not allowing me to program my periphrials.
I’ll be all over it once they get VR rolled out. DCS for WW2 sims in the meantime.

Are you using the wizard? I found that ‘not’ using the wizard helped a lot. I just set up the axis etc. from within the sim itself.

I turned off the wizard. I gave this sim several hours. Most of them were devoted to trying to program the controls. Just like before, it keeps loosing the programing and I have to start over at every session.
Its off my HD. This is a pretty face sim with a glaring flaw. I will rather spend time with DCS or IL2 FB.
Doing a thing. Testing out keybinds and settings (TrackIR is still acting up) over Southeast England. More to come, I hope.

Been playing IL2BG and debating getting CoD for some BoB action.
It’s not as polished a product as Great Battles, but the map is good for BoB and 1941/2 missions, and I like the partially clickable cockpits. I also like how they’ve modelled the aircraft - engines don’t have the “timer” feature that Great Battles have to prevent you abusing the WEP limits, but they’re very intolerant of over-rev and over-heat so it all balances out in a way I prefer
its very good sim. I like the flight/system modeling and damage modeling. shame it failed hard immediately after the rushed initial release. it had potential.

Oh yeah! IIRC it still slaps to this day…
Look at this- @1:10
I’ve never seen anyother game handling damaged parts like that.

Also: it runs very smoothly on my PC in the current iteration even with many aircraft in the air. I have a belief that when they solve the problems they’re having with VR it will turn out to be lot better than, for example, DCS for VR performance - though they’re implementing various True Sky features still so that may or may not turn out to be true…
There’s still one more problem for me, even if they solve VR! Telemetry data! I’ve been spoiled by the haptic feedback provided by borh DCS and Great Battles!
