    After all the drama to convince the devs it is great to have IL2 BOS motion. I am about to go traveling overseas but I hope others can create an post so awesome videos, as that may encourage other devs to actually get behind APIs for motion simulation.

    I want to thank value1 for making the great plugin so quickly and making my dream come true!

    I have a small video, nothing fancy, just a prove that it works....



    I have a question @value1 what does the SURGE exactly do here in the plugin? And where and how do I connect it?
    Was bewirkt der Surge Effekt eigentlich in IL-2 und zu welchem Aktuator soll ich es am besten zuordnen?
    I am still working on my Simtools profile.

    Thanks so much, best regards
    Joerg

    Well, when flying you will also feel braking and acceleration. Probably for even longer than when racing. This might be an issue, because you cannot mimic such long times typically with a simulator. Try pitching the seat up or down to see, if it feels like acceleration. At the end, it's a matter of tweaking your profile until it feels "natural" for you in your seat/platform.

    Hello Thomas,
    just want to provide feedback after some more testing.
    I took out surge in my profile and activated sway instead, actually I did not feel anything.
    I am not sure what sway will do!? In sim racing sway will provide G force feeling, here I did not feel anything.....and no surge effect after I put in sway.

    Did anybody else here try the IL-2 plugin already? I get pitch, roll and yaw effects. Heave and surge is missing for me so far.

    Thanks and best regards Joerg

    You need to patch the game for motion in Game Manager and then create and refine a motion profile: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    Hi.
    My IL2 Battle of Stalingrad Blitz Edition Steam did not work.
    I did the patch. Game Running appears, but does not move any axis.
    Do I need to do anything in the game settings?

    Thanks for tip but this plugin its not working for me. I have non steam edition ( & all DLCs) with 3d migoto mod .Maybe this mod generating issue with this plugin ? But I cant flying without it in VR.
    I resolved my Elite issue with plugin and so only Il 2 its not working.

    I've done all the profile settings and it still does not work.
    When I leave the game, an error message appears.

    You might need to change a config file manually. I'll let you know when I'm back online.

    @Leandro Kemp,
    Sounds like all your interfaces are crashing on startup.
    (you hear all those beeps?)
    Is your hardware turned on?

    There should be a file called startup.cfg in your installation directory.
    Add the lines
    Code:
    [KEY = motiondevice]
       addr = "127.0.0.1"
       decimation = 2
       enable = true
       port = 4321
    [END]

    Sorry for my late reply here, I didn't check for a while.

    Does IL-2 motion work now for everybody here? How is YOUR experience with the motion in IL-2?
    I did not test my motion rig for a while now, because my job keeps me too busy. MY experience was so so.
    For "normal" flying like an airliner or a Cessna 172 would do.....I mean pitch and bank angles in moderate and normal limits it feels great, BUT flying like a combat plane with very high pitch and bank angles and doing aerobatics my experience is not that great with IL-2 and motion....MY motion rig is very limited in pitch and bank angles and in aerobatics it does not work that great for me.

    How is YOUR experience?

    Thanks Joerg

    As I played around with this title veeeery long time ago, I am not sure which version of the game it concerns.

    Could someone point from where we can buy a non-steam version?
