Hello, I have the Il-2 GB (with almost all DLCs) and now Il-2 Korea, both have a strange behaviour with the mouse on menus.

The mouse speed/sensibility are ok until the login screen (included) after i enter on both simulators (GB or Korea) after the login and going on in-game menus, the mouse move so so so fast thats almost impossible to control and get to tiny icons. The mouse sensibility on windows are at the most low setting.

If for example in menus i press the Win-Key and are with windows bottom bar i see the IL2 menus mouse moving normally and ok, but when i click on the mouse buttom to make it the active window, the mouse goes wild again. I really hope this issue are fixed in both sims.

Razer Cobra mouse + Win 11.

(when i had the Il-2 GB on Win10 it not had that issue even with the same mouse and mouse settings)

Thank You so much!!!!

I don't get great FPS with my 5090OC in VR, but I only get 10-15 Load.

Also there is a lot of grass popin, even with grass on the highest settings

I just went into the quick flight with the default plane but the elevator trim buttons I assigned (Moza joystick thumb switch forward/back) are not doing anything at all to the plane.

And when I go to the settings to check the assignments I made, it says the same coomand is already for 'other' actions but it's the same command name that is being referenced:

Is this a bug or am my I missing something?

Thanks,

spy

Check the Flight Manual page for the given aircraft. On that page you'll find the relevant keybinds for trim for that plane.

Thanks for the reply. I have not gone back to the game yet to test, but can you tell me, are there unique control assignments on per-plane basis? That would be painful...

Yes, it depends on the aircraft type. They are all listed in the flight manual.

Typing in chat while flying still has effect on controls. Typed capital E and pressed Shift + E and ejected LOL

[FreeErik]

hahahaha! 

I went into settings many times to tweak the Hotas, not noticing the aircraft continued it's way and then crashed....

I'm not sure this is a bug or a technical issue for my MSFFB joystick, but it is a problem for me. Even after turning stick" sensitivity" way down or up ,it seems to make no difference. I still do not get "steady ,stable" flight, but more like being suspended on a rubber band with slight stick movements resulting a quick movement & requiring a quick movement back.The result is aviolent series of short movements ( fish tailing,or yo-yo-ing,) around the center of axis.This is especially irritating during target acquisition, or landing. I remember this occurring in the first release of  Battle of Stalingrad/Great Battles years ago.Eventually it was  fixed. Is there anyway of addressing this now,otherwise game play is nearly impossible.

Same here...

Anfangs hatte ich kein Force Feedback, aber nach einem Neustart der Mission funktionierte es. Jetzt ruckelt es jedoch mit aktiviertem Force Feedback extrem – es ist unspielbar. Es gab und gibt immer noch Probleme mit dem MSFFB2 in *IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles*...

Initially, I had no force feedback, but after restarting the mission, it worked. Now, however, it's extremely choppy with force feedback enabled – it's unplayable. There were, and still are, problems with MSFFB2 in *IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles*.

Fixed it - need to unbind all joystick controls and only bind the axis movements for axis controls

[Blitzen]

"Stabililized" joystick setting gave me very good results!😁

mouse is messed up for more of us..

My mouse menu BS was solved when I made sure I was running multi-core.  It was whack with single.

How is 076: Flaps: extend/retract supposed to work when bound to an axis? I have mine bound to the "flaps lever" on my Virpil Throttle MT-50CM2 and I have tried different planes with the same outcome. The following is with "Relative Control: Disabled", since I want the position of the level control the position of the flaps in-game.

t's really hard to describe what happens since moving the lever doesn't really do anything until it suddenly does. Maybe at the end of the levers travel ?!. If I stop moving the lever it does nothing, the flaps go full down. Moving the lever up again does nothing, the flaps stay down. And if I then pull the lever all the way down the flaps start to move up until they are full up.

This could off course be me that don't understand how this is supposed to work!

Please advice.

I am excited to see the "toggle switch" section in the control menu!

And I'm hoping that finally the switches on my TM Warthog throttle are going to be supported natively in game...But I'm having trouble making them work properly. Is there any guidance for using this feature or is it not "fully cooked" yet?

Or have I misunderstood what this section of the control input menu is for?

Thanks for your continuing efforts,

M.

This is what it looks like after a message appears stating that the recording file has reached 500 MB while playing on a multiplayer server.

The game continues as before, but the main menu appears, allowing you to click on all the menu items.

 

You can also enter the airplane viewing mode from the main menu.

Thanks to this feature, I was able to look around the entire instrument panel, so I flew to the base and landed safely. 🤣

 

This is the main menu screen that reminds me of the classic game Operation Flashpoint. For some reason, it doesn't look bad. 🙂

 

 

 

The credit screen has also changed to a more atmospheric look.

It was absurd, but it's a funny bug. lol.

I think you are correct about this. I have been having issues with chrome when I use my mouse sometime. Or my Ministick on my throttle I am using to move cursor in the commander widow goes freaky sometime. To me it is my user error not the sim.
