The IL-2 Sturmovik is back in Battle of Stalingrad

Awesome. Keep these coming.

PLANES!

Yeah! Combat flight sims! I should get around to playing the IL-2 Sturmovik title I bought during the Steam summer sale.

day one

I love the Rise of flight guys and i love IL2.. can't wait for this.

Flightclub assemble?

Someone light the Flight Club signal.

OK!

I heard nothing but good about previous games, this could be interesting

Nice. I played Il-2 back years ago on a crappy computer. It will be great to see how it looks now. Check out War Thunder too if you want some good flight combat. It has arcade mode, but also Historical Battles and All Real Battles, which is essentially a hardcore mode.

With those full RRP games you get the full experience from the get-go no-fiddly coins or gold or pay to shit.

ASSEMBLE!!

hahah

Can we get some Drew / Top Gun photoshops anyone?

I wish to hug you over the internet for this. How would I go about doing so?

After the CLOD fiasco, I'm not coughing up any cash until well after release and the fanboy/troll screamfests at SimHQ and the banana forums have abated.

At least CLOD was patched into a playable state. Hopefully there won't be such a clusterfuck this time around.

That was awesome. Thanks for posting that, Drew. I just got back from EAA AirVenture so this was a pleasant surprise to see.

Just to say, this is from the Rise of Flight developers so hopefully none of the same concerns from CLOD.

Well it's from both. Hopefully it'll work right out of the box and the RoF pricing model won't be too ridiculous. (so...you'd like your Sturmovik to have gauges would you? $4.99 extra!)

@zatoichi_sanjuro: was it ? ill have to take your word for it as i was never able to play it without extreme graphical issues

Flight club? Flight club.

It's all pre-render. They're using the Rise of Flight engine 2.0, so it is not going to look that good. They also appear to be following the same pricing model as ROF, charging money on top of retail price for planes. $50 for the "Standard Edition" with early access in winter 2013, and $90 for the "Premium Edition" with a number of exclusive planes, and early access in autumn.

Is it almost time for Flight Club again?
