Kerhuon Posted February 16 Posted February 16 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 ! 2 1
Trinakria Posted February 18 Posted February 18 (edited) 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 Edited February 18 by Trinakria 1

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.

Best regards 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.
Aapje Posted February 19 Posted February 19 There is nothing that is exclusive to the Founders edition. 1
nachinus Posted February 23 Posted February 23 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. 🛩️ 2 1
CatteMoto Posted February 23 Posted February 23 placed my order a couple days ago. I'm ready to ride this hype train all the way south of the 38th parallel 1 1
robzerg Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Pre-ordered today (after just getting paid ); hopefully the early access is not too far away! 2
Buffo002 Posted March 4 Posted March 4 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 🙂
Bubba Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Will this have Carriers and will we be able to take off and land from them?

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.

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.
YoYo Posted March 21 Posted March 21 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)? Webmaster of yoyosims.pl. VR flying only.
Enceladus828 Posted March 22 Posted March 22 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 🙂 1 Matthew 6:21, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Kingkat54 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Just pre -ordered. Now, I can't wait until I can play this game. I may not be a great "Jet Ace in the Skies Over Korea", but I'll ceretainly have fun!

BladeMeister Posted March 26 Posted March 26 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! S!Blade<>< 2
CatteMoto Posted April 5 Posted April 5 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

Kingkat54 Posted April 6 Posted April 6 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.
