Any IL-2 Sturmovik players here?

[bish000]

Any jet & chopper fanatics here also play IL-2 Sturmovik? I ask because I'm trying to fly with mouse & keyboard in IL-2, like I fly heli in BF2, and I can't get it to work right. Of course I want to Pitch with Mouse Y-Axis and Roll with X-Axis; unfortunately, those axes are already configured as mouse look in IL-2, and no changes to the config files can override it. Anyone?

I realize this isn't really a post about BF2, but I hope you will leave it up for a little while before you move or delete it.....

I suggest this gets moved to general PC. I've got IL2 (Although I haven't played it for a bit, as it won't work with Vista 64 bit), and there is simply no way you can play it effectively using mouse and keyboard, as the flight dynamics are much more realistic; it's a simulation rather than something aimed at casual gamers. Try getting a decent joystick such as the Saitek X52, Saitek Cyborg Evo or Logitech Extreme 3d pro.

Yea its such an awesome game, but you will need a stick to be any good.

Bah... I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from reading this thread- it's such good fun to play. :cry:

Hopefully Oleg will get off his backside sometime and get round to releasing Storm of War Battle of Britain soon (As long as it's Vista compatible).

I have it and love it (along with my beloved LO:FC). So much fun to play online, and the ability to fly a ton of realistic planes which have (surprisingly) realistic damages is just amazing. I heard they are coming out with a newer version, so I'm looking forward to that.

And yeah, invest in a joystick, I recommend the Saitek X52, it's amazing and is still working well for me.

The new one is SoW: Battle of Britain. Talking of LOMAC, I have an issue wuth that, in that it doesn't seem to respond to me pressing fire on my joystick.
