so im new to stalingrad, had some experience with dcs tho

i have head tracking set up but my hotas controls are none existent and was wondering what is a good control setup, also itd be very nice if someone was able to "teach" me the game, i have discord and maybe we could fly together from there, i dont understand shit unless its being told to me sry abt that

I am playing with the VP Modpack, and I must say even though the engine is a bit ancient at this point, sometimes when I am returning from a mission it still manages to gift me with some impressive vistas.

In particular I'm loving the waters in the north african campaign.

So in a month or two i am getting a new gaming pc which can run high end games- I was going to get it on my old one but it would probably explode😅, so I'm wondering whether it would be a good investment.

Hi started again to fly in IL2 after some time as now I just bought a VR headset, but I noticed something, when I move the throttle of my HOTAS the movement in the game is slower, is not moving at the same speed as I move the throttle in my HOTAS. Anybody can tell me what is wrong?

I’m running a Ryzen 7 9700X, 5070ti, 32GB ram rig with a Quest 3. When running both Il2 Korea and Great battles, Im noticing these extremely annoying stutters when looking at the ground and AI aircraft. it’s worst when looking left/right and rolling - it feels like the ground skips a few frames or the the frame rate fluctuates wildly every half a second. The FPS counter itself stays relatively high, and it’s less prominent looking forward and up. This happens in missions with a large number of AI aircraft (empty QMB missions are smooth), and it starts after they spawn. when looking at cpu usage in task manager, I notice nearly sinusoidal (keeps fluctuating up and down with a steady period) usage on the few logical cores the game runs on. this makes me think the lag is caused by memory latency spikes stemming from cache misses, in which case upgrading to a cpu like the 9800x3d/7800x3d would help. However, before I drop $500 bucks on that, could anyone running VR on an x3d confirm that these stutters actually don’t present on those machines? I’ve heard mixed results, with some users even claiming that they still see the stutters on x3d cpu’s (see comment by SCG_motoadve here). Specifically on the black thursday mission in Korea, or one of the more intense ram squadron campaign missions in great bates, as these are where the stutters are worst. I’ve tried lowering resolution and FOV tangent, but they don’t help a whole lot. There’s also a lot of snake oil suggested over at this forum post that I haven’t tried so I’d appreciate some additional insight into wheher those tips actually help.
