Press SHOW MORE below game box and read..
No Music.. No Talking.. IL-2 Sturmovik - Flying Circus Volume 1 is on sale for another day at the time of this Video upload.. I was very hesitant on getting it.. it was the only thing left to get at a decent sales price... I would not have purchased it at full price.. main reason.. well, I own a lot of planes in Rise of Flight..Now Rise of Flight was my old WW1 flyer when it first came out and boy was it a bear on my old system, a few systems back.. It was also the title that told me I needed a TrackIR... I never have made TrackIR smooth... but workable..
So why Flying Circus? Well the main reason.. it has VR! The planes look a bit better and the effects are better.. What it does not have is a Career mode.. Which I couldn't care one way or the other.. They did finally add a Campaign made by the community right into the game now.. and there is the Quick Mission in the game and "Easy Mission Editor" also created by the community for extra missions.. plus others in the community are being active with it..
The darn game was like 27 bucks down from 80.00 on this sale..finally in the right range to purchase.. so.. yeah... at that price it is a buy if you like WW1 Planes and have VR... Obviously it is not too shabby looking in flatscreen either..:) Just had to mention it before the sale ends.... probably be back on sale over Christmas as well.. 30.00 would be the highest I would go.. I can now uninstall Rise of Flight.. mmm.. maybe.. and with that said.. Rise of Flight is now FREE with a few planes and of course they sell many other planes to go with it... BUT NO VR!
All of my IL-2 programs come from the Original Website, not STEAM.. but either place should not make a difference..
To Run on Quest 2 "linked'.. all I do is press the cog wheel in quest screen and press rift link to get to the desktop.. I press my IL-2 desktop icon to run the launcher.. I make sure the IL-2 LAUNCH program has VR checked under settings.. it does the rest nicely.
