1C Game Studios LukeFF Posted January 27 1C Game Studios Posted January 27 Нello, comrades! Today is a big day in the history of the Il-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles series - the official release of the Odessa and Leningrad: Siege and Liberation project! We have completed development of all 8 aircraft for this module, as well as both maps. The full news and changelist can be found here: https://il2-series.com/en/news/926/update-7-001-odessa-and-leningrad/ 30 12 2
AEthelraedUnraed Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Leningrad looks positively huge! And the Karelia part is something else entirely; there are farms and small hamlets scattered all over the place! @LLv44_Kanttori Amazing job guys! 7 2
Jaegermeister Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Great looking release, Thanks! Once again... something new and long-awaited will be announced soon! I wonder what that is? 2 Ryzen 7 7800X3D Raphael 4.2GHz CPU/ 32GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000 CL36 RAM / AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB GPU / ASUS Tuf Gaming B650E MB / 1 TB Samsung 970 EVO+ M.2 HD / HP Reverb G2 VR / TM Warthog HOTAS / Saitek Pro Flight Rudders / MaxFalcon 20 Keypad Emulator
tattywelshie Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Oh wow, definitely something to get excited about!!! That's this evening sorted out, thanks guys, and sounds super exciting the future plans as well 🙂 1
AcesDarthBubu Posted January 27 Posted January 27 yikes. here we go again...let the wild speculation begins.
Enceladus828 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Thank you! Here are some pictures of when my grandparents went there in 1990 — by then much of it hadn’t been repainted in decades. 12 2 Matthew 6:21, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Charlo Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I’m looking forward to flying over the new maps! It might be Saturday before I can check this, but in this 7.001 update is the Ju 87 D-3 oil flap lever fixed? It has been showing reversed what it should be doing - Auf (at the top) should be where the lever goes to when fully open, but since 6.003 that lever goes down to Zu when fully open. The lever movement was always correctly modeled in the Ju 87 D-5. 1
Avimimus Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Pretty cool! The La-7 is really living up to its reputation. The Il-2 1944 is indeed a considerably better gun platform... nice additions all around - and the maps are brilliant. P.S. Still wishing for a German or Italian/Romanian destroyer... and maybe a PTRD team? 😉 May as well ask, eh?
CzechTexan Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I just LOVE it! The attention to detail on the maps is amazing. That's what makes this sim so beautiful to fly over. Thanks to both groups of creators who have come together on this project. What a beautiful screenshot!... 11

LLv44_Kanttori Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Thanks also to Zeus, we wouldn't be here without him. There has been a huge amount of work in the Soviet settlements and cities! 🫡 We at KarttaKompania will continue to improve the landscaping in Finland and Estonia throughout the spring as we get settlements built there. Finnish cities also need some improvement. There is enough work to do until the summer at least. We'll probably be able to publish the summer map soon. 11 10

It should :c 4 — Место для авиагоризонта (Place for the horizon indicator) It even had it back in Il-2 1946... At least the 7B model But since the one in great battles also has triple 20 mm cannons, like on the late production models, Why shouldn't it also have access to an AGP-2 ADI through the modifications menu? There's a big empty hole in the middle of the instrument panel 💔 ;–; 1
86Cheese Posted January 27 Posted January 27 @LukeFF is it still planned to add anti shipping/shipping escort to career? I feel like that was mentioned in a devlog at some point but maybe im crazy? Or was it added at some point and I just totally missed it? This looks fantastic though, can't wait to check out the new IL-2 and La-7 after work. Props to the Fins for seriously over delivering. Well done, folks 👏 and thanks for a few hundred more hours in the air 1
YoYo Posted January 27 Posted January 27 (edited) Wow! Thank You! I was dreaming about spring, and this is it already?

It's possible in the future, but as of right now there are no immediate plans to add them. 1 2
Red_Dragon Posted January 27 Posted January 27 УРА товарищи! Спасибо за карты и эти замечательные аппараты и наше счастливое детство свободное время! 1
JG4_Moltke1871 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 „Career mode: Zeppelin escort mission added to WWI Western Front map“ There where talks about missions to attack the Zeppelin sheds, are they included?
Blitzen Posted January 27 Posted January 27 (edited) I do like the new map and it's possibilities,but I am having quite a bit of stuttering with it on QM.Maybe it's just me, but it does make it less than ideal...😶 Edited January 27 by Blitzen
Rurik_54 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 (edited) Dear developers! I hope you will correct the following shortcomings on the map of Leningrad. In Kronstadt, instead of the Naval Cathedral, you have placed St. Isaac's Cathedral. In Peterhof, instead of the Grand Palace, there is an incomprehensible structure. I'm not even mentioning the Catherine Palace in Pushkin. Instead of it, there is also an incomprehensible structure. However, I would like to mention that the Vyborg Castle has been recreated very well, and there is even a city train station and a round tower. Thank you very much for this! It seems that our Finnish colleagues have done a great job. In addition, I would like to have at least the eastern shore of Lake Ladoga on the map, so that I can see the entire "Road of Life". The Kazan Cathedral and even the monuments to Kutuzov and Barclay de Tolly are very well done. However, a typical church is also placed instead of the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood. Instead of a monument to Alexander II, there is an incomprehensible obelisk in the square in front of St. Isaac's Cathedral Perhaps a person who lived in Leningrad could participate in this project? I understand that the scope of work is very extensive, and not everything can be achieved immediately. I rely on your expertise. I have great respect for you and your work.
