Thanks chipwich.
Edit: Is Career mode for BoK functional currently?
Thanks chipwich.
Edit: Is Career mode for BoK functional currently?
yes it is
Thanks for the info, I’m tempted to get BoK. Career mode in BoS is awesome.
Not only is the Kuban scenery spectacular, but the P-39 is just fun to fly!
Looks like BOS is 66% off at the moment sitting at $16.99. I’m not a huge WW2 flyer…but I think I’ve seen some pretty good endorsements for BOS in VR…so I might want to give it a whirl… And @fearlessfrog wrote a glowing report of PWCG in this post…
…and Einstein seemed to like it pretty well…
Hmm…
Troll like it too!
And they are doing the sequel to Rise of Flight, under the IL-2 franchise; Flying Circus!
The new Career alone is worth it at that price. I’ve been flying “dead is dead” and so far haven’t managed to live past two weeks.
The career mode should’ve been there from day one, but way better late than never, right? I might pick up Kuban and Moscow, after all. Doubt I’ll grab Bodenplatte. Reason? I’ve probably got an ATP’s worth of time in Il-2 '46 on the Western front alone.
Throw me some Pacific (especially if Aussie fighters are included) or Mediterranean and it is on like donkey kong.
Have there been any posts mentioning when “Kuban” DLC will be released on Steam?
you might have to double check if this still applies, but my BoM and BoK keys worked for my steam account. It works as a DLC for BoS, though.
Latest Dev update - Early renders of The Spit and G-14 for Bodenplatte
https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/168-developer-diary/?do=findComment&comment=600960
Update 3.002
Hello everybody,
One month has passed since the Battle of Kuban release, but the first Bodenplatte aircraft will be ready next month, therefore we have decided not to delay further and release this ‘tiny’ in-between update, that contains 86 changes and additions, before May.
Because of the many changes and fixes, it can’t be called a hotfix anymore, it’s a full-blown update 3.002. Almost a half of the list is occupied by Career mode improvements - as we have promised before, its development continues after the release of Kuban. Now we’re tuning it and fixing the bugs, but in June we plan to add many new mission types.
The other changes are for multiplayer, user interface, aircraft models and so on. Long story short, here’s the full change list:
Career:
Multiplayer:
User Interface:
Airplanes:
General:
Forest LOD boundary has been made less apparent on some maps;
Spring, Summer and Autumn seasons roads have been improved visually;
Asynchronous terrain caching system has been improved, resulting in less noticeable terrain loading;
Login procedure has been optimized, halving the time required;
Selecting the aircraft modifications in the mission editor works correctly;
A dark bar in the center of the image in HTC Vive that some users could see has been removed (that was a performance optimization);
‘Warped edges’ issue in PiMax 4K has been eliminated (minimized);
TrackIr roll axis problem was fixed;
Formation movement of ships and ground vehicles in the User Formation mode has been improved (especially when turning);
“10 Days of Autumn” Campaign - map frontlines were fixed;
“10 Days of Autumn” Campaign - map route color was changed and the secondary objectives were hidden.
Does this apply to the executioner too?
I…this…well… actually…
Seriously, though… Is this historically correct? I mean, friendly fire has been happening in every war. I guess people were put in front of a firing squad in some instances, but not for making mistakes in the heat of the battle.
I hope I won’t get killed in the career for winging a friendly by mistake. Ok, if I empty my guns in him, it’s another matter.
The night was filled with dark and cold,
When Sergeant Talbert the story’s told,
Pulled out his poncho and headed out,
To check the lines dressed like a Kraut.
Upon a trooper our hero came,
Fast asleep; he called his name.
“Smith, oh Smith, get up, it’s time
To take your turn out on the line.”
Private Smith, so very weary,
Cracked an eye, all red and bleary,
Grabbed his rifle and did not tarry,
Hearing Floyd, but seeing Jerry.
“It’s me!” cried Tab. “Don’t do it!” and yet,
Smith charged toute de suite with bayonet.
He lunged, he thrust, both high and low,
And skeweth the boy from Kokomo.
And as they carried him away,
Our punctured hero was heard to say,
“When in this war you venture out,
best never do it dressed as a Kraut!”

Anybody else seeing a 60 GB update pending in the launcher?
Uh, nope. I had a 4 GB update last night, though.
