The latest IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles series release has come out on Tuesday with version 7.007 introducing minor fixes and features across the series. The team are also planning to hold a “talk show” event coming up on Friday. Let’s have a look.

Update out, fixes in

The latest version of Great Battles, Update 7.007, is not a big groundbreaking update but it does bring with it a few fixes including revised force feedback behaviour on the La-7, fixed scenery, updated campaigns, and various other corrections.

Removed the tailwheel locking lever sound from the Yak-3 and P-51D-15.

Talk Show time

1C Game Studios producer Daniel Tuseev is going to be doing an IL-2 Talk Show on Friday through the company’s Discord server. This announced earlier today with the focus on interacting with the community and getting an open conversation with the community.

Here’s how they describe the event:

During the show, Daniel and I will also ask you a few questions — we’re really interested in hearing your thoughts and opinions.

Please note that this is not an AMA or a traditional Q&A. It’s a different kind of format — more casual, more open, and focused on conversation rather than just straight questions and answers.

There will also be an opportunity for a couple of questions from you, but the main focus will remain on the discussion.
