A series of updates over the last several days have focused on the work that Team Fusion Simulations is busy doing turning IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover into a VR supported sim. That’s not all because they are also busy upgrading the visuals of the sim with higher resolution textures and TrueSky technology for new volumetric clouds. Here’s the latest!
Try and find the bombers in these clouds
Higher resolution textures, VR support, and volumetric clouds round out the headline features of a future visual update coming to IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Blitz and Desert Wings – Tobruk. These veteran sims are getting one of the most significant updates in the series’ history when it comes to core technologies and the inclusion of the new cloud technology, on its own, will likely be as transformative as it has been for other sims that have employed it.
Good luck trying to locate the bombers ducking in an out of those TrueSky clouds!

I couldn’t agree more with this statement from Team Fusion.
Have a look at some of the screenshots below or check out even more 4K resolution images here.







As of yet, no release date has been offered for this update and work appears to be ongoing on this project. Still, it seems like we’re getting closer to do the time when it will become available. It should be very interesting to check out when we get there. More to come!
The picture of the Hurricane is just gorgeous!

Wow. I’ve actually stopped flying in ClOD since the Normandy map came out for BoX but this will bring me back, in particular to Tobruk. I work in 3D so the look of a sim is more important than it probably should be. When IL2 finally modelled my home town of Brighton I kinda left ClOD on the shelf for a bit, but I do like flying their early war planes.

They should earn a little from this update. I’d readily pay for it.
