One of the more interesting posts that we’ve seen about IL-2 Korea is the latest developer update which is focused on a few different pieces of the puzzle for the new sim. The museum, training and making the game more accessible through a revised interface are all interesting pieces to talk about. Let’s have a look.
Facilitating learning
1CGS is talking a little more about their new museum feature for IL-2 Korea. According to the new article, starting the sim up will launch you into the museum first with information on the history of the conflict, the aircraft, vehicles, and other objects within the game all viewable. The aircraft in particular will have detailed descriptions of how things work, where they are placed on the aircraft, and there will be detailed specifications including graphs for airspeeds and comparison charts between aircraft.
Better yet, they have announced that this area of the sim will also be where practical missions and tests will be located. Players can practice and get feedback on their skills with the ability to receive achievements for accomplishing each training scenario.
The update also mentions other efforts to make the sim more accessible to newcomers. Interactive aircraft control menu, control assignment wizard, and native gamepad support have all been mentioned.
One of the biggest complaints leveled at the IL-2 series in the past has been the lack of training systems built in. Community members have stepped up with Requiem’s Air Combat Tutorial Library and Utopioneer’s Flight School Campaigns being two such examples. Now it looks like the sim will have a lot more built into it right from the start.
