Pre-Orders for Korea. IL2 Series are Now Open!


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hem... will be direct

 

Pre-order : the last one  I did took almost a  year before releasing (I pre-ordred Normandy..). So , pre-order is banned for me ; NEED MONEY ,  ask a bank !!

 

Jet aircrafts / Korea, props and secret planes ...: I dont expect to buy a new computer for this opus ..no way !  . 

 

The fun (IL2 GB) : According to my experience since the IL FB , the actual GB is a candy ... but frankly , fun is definitely far to be the same there was when "FB" was ruling years ago ..  so many excellent mods on "FB" , four engines bombers , jets aircrafts... etc...

 

looking to the wing of a plane  or other details ,when running GB , is great ...Unfortunately the fun is very limited  for me ... not so much room for playing.. same maps turning in an endless loops... easily boring.. 

 

Désolé mais c'est mon ressenti après quelques années  de jeu avec IL2 GB !

Hey y'all !

Can we expect a potential way to upgrade if we ordered only a standard preorder and want to switch to a founder's edition ?

Best regards

Right now your best option is to contact support and ask them to cancel your original order and then place a new one.

Adding to what LukeFF said: I gather that the DLC will eventually be available for sale separately (price unknown). So there will be an upgrade path, with most of the same content, but any content exclusive to the Founders edition wouldn't be included. That said, the exclusive content (skins) seem to be tied to the standard edition and I'm not sure the founder's edition includes anything beyond a pre-order for the first DLC.

There is nothing that is exclusive to the Founders edition.

I just did it. The sun is up, the first flowers are showing up in the trees and the parks, spring is almost here, so I just did it. Founders edition it is. 🛩️

Pre-ordered today (after just getting paid :classic_biggrin:); hopefully the early access is not too far away!

Hello, I want to ask, if I paid for the basic pre-order of Korea via IL-2 GB, where will the installation file be downloaded? Or will the installation be via Steam? Thank you. Buffo 🙂

Will this have Carriers and will we be able to take off and land from them?

It's unconfirmed yet, but there is a 99.99% chance that the 'mystery' DLC that comes out this year is going to be about carriers and naval aviation.

If you pre-order now, you get the standalone version. So you download the installer from the website once early access starts.

Founders Edition pre-ordered.

I am struggling terribly with key bindings in Il-2 Sturmovik Great Battles. Can't get my Virpil setup to work beyond the bare basics. I somehow hope (against hope) that it will be easier to set up that stuff with Korea... 

That's my wish... that this is a truly modern sim that isn't so hair-shirt to configure and run.   It looks fantastic - a dream come true.  And four months ago I built what Gemini calls 'a monster of a machine' so I am ready for this.    I'd pre-order in a New York minute but I'm a Linux guy so I have to wait and see how that goes.  

CPU:   AMD Ryzen 7 7800X32
GPU:   AMD ATI RADEON RX7700XT  
RAM:  32GIG

Excited to support the team with Founders Edition! I’ve taken a long break from flight sims, but I always planned to come back for Korea.

There are a lot of features that I wanted in GB, that will be in Korea. If the devs are reading this, i would love to see some more options for briefings in scripted campaigns. The ability to add multiple images, or embed audio/video, or separate briefing content in relevant sections/tabs.

I hope for this as well. Glad you mentioned it.

Is there any chance we'll learn something about the plans for the 5x DLC and "a new layer of interaction with the game world" from Founders edition? Is this some kind of gameplay version that will later be sold separately? These 5 DLCs apply to both sides, and is it known what types of aircraft they are (whether they're even supposed to be aircraft is also a question)?

Yeah like are we getting aircraft carriers? If we are it would make sense to mention that and announce the planes at a later date 🙂

LukeFF, when will the pre purchase discounts end? When the early access begins? When the early access ends and the actual game release happens? Inquiring minds want to know!

Will there be Achievements on the Steam version of IL2:K? I did enjoy them on Rise of Flight, as they gave me a tertiary goal to strive for while enjoying the rest of the game

I believe the "pre orders" will have access sometime in May, with the release coming in June around the date of the invasion of S Korea. 
Just wishful thinking on my part.
