You can play this with a flight stick that under $50.00, like the Extreme 3D Pro from Logitech. You don’t need multiple monitors and a high-end flight stick. You also don’t need a lot to play this game. We have a story-driven campaign and multiplayer, but we also have a really quick mission builder where, if you don’t have a lot of time, you can create a combat scenario and just fly for half an hour or an hour. Williams: There’s a couple different things. What are you doing to appeal to younger players? The IL-2 Sturmovik series is known to older gamers. But we had not started work on a new Rise Of Flight, and we jumped at the chance to make Battle Of Stalingrad because Rise Of Flight is set during World War I, and we’ve always wanted to do a World War II game. IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle Of Stalingrad uses a modified version of the Rise Of Flight engine, which allowed us to shorten the development time by many years. Rise Of Flight’s engine was worked on for many years. Williams, when 1C came to you about making IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle Of Stalingrad, were you working on Rise Of Flight II: Electric Boogaloo, and then just took what you were doing and turned it into IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle Of Stalingrad, or did you start from scratch? They’re actually the most complicated games to make. Subbotin: You see, flight sims are not the easiest games to make. But 1C love this franchise, so they came to 777 Studios, my company, and said that they liked Rise Of Flight and asked us to relaunch the IL-2 Sturmovik series. Williams: There was also a PC game called IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs Of Dover in 2011, but it came out broken. It was more like an action game packed into a flight sim environment. Subbotin: Well, they were working for us. Then another company made a console flight sim for Xbox and PlayStation called IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds Of Prey… IL-2 Sturmovik came out over ten years ago on the PC and was a huge hit. You’re basically fighting a virtual war on your computer.īut there have been IL-2 Sturmovik games on consoles that were… You typically have a historically accurate theater that you fly mission in, and you shoot down enemy airplanes, bomb targets, and attack tanks and artillery. With a combat simulator like ours, you don’t simulate the entire globe. It’s a civilian simulator where they simulate the entire globe and you can fly from point A to point B and look at the pretty scenery. It’s not an arcade game, it’s not a shoot-’em-up, you’re actually learning how to fly a plane and using real-world tactics to complete your mission and survive.ĭoes it go as far as Microsoft’s Flight Simulator? Which means real-world physics, ballistics, flight modeling, damage modeling, historically accurate paint jobs, etc. Willliams: Like 777 Studio’s previous game, Rise Of Flight, IL-2 Sturmovik is what would be considered a hardcore flight sim. Williams do say this latest installment in the IL-2 Sturmovik series might appeal to more than just wannabe pilots.įor those unfamiliar with this series, what is IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle Of Stalingrad ? And while it won’t have any annoyed fowl, 1C’s Anatoly Subbotin and 777 Studio’s Jason V. Well, get ready for aerial bacon come September, because that’s when 1C Game Studio will be releasing IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle Of Stalingrad, a realistic World War II flight simulator for the PC. At a time when the phrase “flying game” invokes images of irritated birds, you might think you’d see a new ultra-realistic flight simulator when pigs fly. It is fantastic to see these guys developing more and more, I hope it lasts. I just rememeber how easy it was to loose a flight sim.the publisher just went out of bussiness and bye bye planes for 2 years. Also the system, where all the old editions are upgraded with the new updates is a work of a genius in my eyes (of an experieced flightsim lover). It' s still a game with it's flaws but there won' t be any better WW2 (let alone WW1) flight sims out there for long time. This game is a dream come true of a Red Baron veteran such as myself. I have tryed war thunder and this game in my mind out classes it all the time. It just takes way more time to make a flight sim where you can have VR to in tanks as well as planes. Originally posted by love the VR, realism, i have had flying lessons and this is the closest so far, I have played a load of flight sims from 1980 `s and up, I personally think as more and more planes are added and DLC`s like tobuk and battle of britain and such if they add them, the game will surely pull people over.
