Released yesterday without much fanfare, Update 5.507 for the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles Series is a relatively modest update for the series with a number of fixes and some minor content additions. Let’s have a look!
What you can expect
The first item on the list is word from the devs that some texturing optimization has allowed for better memory usage on the Stalingrad, Normandy and Rhineland maps. They don’t specify what they did but some errors were reportedly fixed in the process. A small performance update is always good.
What follows are a number of fixes to aircraft and items. The Sopwith Stutter’s bomb release handle is now animated, a cracked windshield bug on the P-39L-1 has been solved, the Ju88C-6’s altimeter was corrected, and there are new tournament liveries in red, blue, green and yellow colours for P-38J-25, Spitfire XIVe, and Bf109G-6A/S all available in the custom schemes tab.
Career mode has a number of fixes with specific fixes for II/KG.51 progression in the Bodenplatte career and changes to Flying Circus career mode where German pilots are issued parachutes starting January 1918 reflecting the historical reality.
Flying Circus IV livery templates are also now available.
