IL2 Sturmovik. A flightsim of WWII in the eastern front. FB stands for the second part of IL2. IL2: Forgotten Battles a new title based on the previous one, but expanded and more complete. AEP: Aces Expansion Pack. An expansion pack for FB adding new planes, maps (I think) and some fixes and improvements to the engine. PF (Pacific Fighters) Is and stand-alone flight sim from the same developer based on the Pacific air war, that could be installed also over FB and then expand it with dozens of new planes, some new maps, etc. Several and periodical patches has been out all the life of this sim, with new flyable and not flyable planes, maps, fixes, improvements, new flight models (more advanced ones), etc. The support to the community from this developer is really outstanding. Really, it's a game that has scalable difficulty, you can go from arcade type, to hard sim. In this last the game shines over any other IMO. If you like the attention to detail and realistic reproduction, if you feel satisfied when you master some hard to control machine, this is nothing of boring game, but if someone look for other instant action feelings, better go to FPS...(by the way, I also like them from time to time). The problem with this game and stereo is that it worked fine with FB out-of-the-box, as they have told you, but when new gpus (and their new capabilities) has been used (with new patchs), the stereo support has been forgotten. Currently we have some parts of the 3d world z-placed incorrectly, like trees, bombs, rockets, and some different problems like double runways, etc. And it only works if you set the 'landscape options' to Excellent settings, (which is the most demanding one...). In any other setting it simply will not run. Additionally with the last beta-leaked stereo drivers (82.12), the game simply does not work. It crash to desktop when you try to activate it...We will see when the official new stereo drivers come out. If they do not fix the beta behaviour, I'm afraid this game is dead (stereo related). Really it is a pity, because the immersion that this game has when in the cockpit and stereo is astonishing, IMO better that what you can see in COD2, HL2, Unreal, FarCry, etc, probably because you are in a very close environment (cockpit) and the stereo effect is very evident and real. If anybody has some clue, or simply has tested FB with the last beta stereo driver and want to post his findings, it would be appreciate (the main problem is the same using Z800 or CRT: the game support to stereo) Regards, |
