Two updates to mention coming in from the 1C Game Studios developers. The team are currently working on IL-2 Korea and have recently shown off the latest work on the MiG-15 cockpit as well as released a 45-minute long video describing some of the flight modeling effects that they are building into the new sim.
A look at the MiG’s cockpit
We’ve got new work in progress images of IL-2 Korea’s MiG-15 cockpit. Its not yet been textured but the lighting of the rendering shows us many of the finer details added to the cockpit. The news article about it goes into some detail on the various systems represented in the cockpit.
They make special mention of the German KG-12 style stick, known as the R-1 stick, that was used in the aircraft. There’s also the ASP-3N gyroscopic gunsight, radio altimeter, barometric altimeter, speed, Mach and climb rate indicators all called out.
For the full description, visit the IL-2 Korea website.
Jets and props
This 45-minute video is focused mostly on describing how they are simulating propeller and jet aircraft in the sim. The big and small differences between the two propulsion types will be on display here.
There are also some discussions about how weapon recoil, ammunition, and other factors will impact the aircraft particularly as weapons are fired.
They also talk about the F9F Panther and the F4U Corsair and briefly mention that there will be some sort of carrier focused DLC package that will let you experience landing on aircraft carriers with these two aircraft. Keeping with the theme, they seem excited that we’ll be able to experience both types of propulsion and how they impact the carrier approach.
Finally, they do seem to be having some sort of gag going on in the background with a trenchcoat wearing third person walking around in the background and briefly handing off a red file folder at the start of the presentation. Then returning again at the very end. Not sure what’s going on there but I suppose we’ll learn soon enough!
