Yes, it works with all versions of IL-2, including BAT. My wife saw today not a man, no… not a man, but a happy little boy! (me…) I will have to read the vorpX docs to make custom modifications, but as it is I am super happy. It also allows you to see the Oculus hand controllers in the application and you can use the Edge feature to zoom out of VR to have a larger view. vorpX works with the Oculus application and binds to the IL2 executable. Obviously I need to tweak some of the features, but the experience was enjoyable nevertheless. Additionally I flew on the Bf-109E-7/Z and P-39 single missions. Flying with VR in our beloved IL-2 is just indescribably awesome.įlying in one of the TBD3 single missions, I flew as the nose gunner and that was also very cool. Particularly today I flew on BAT’s He-100, He-112 and Fw-189 for fun against some large bombers. I was able to fly several QMB missions and single missions using VR. The post described the steps to enabling VR ( ).īut without going through all the steps in that post above, there is AN EASIER WAY I found there is a profile that you can download that works with IL-2 Surmovik (based on the il2fb.exe). Today I did some digging and found that someone was able to make the vorpX software work for IL-2 Classic (all versions up to 1946 and mods). At first I could not make it work (I could have IL-2/BAT display in a large screen, but no VR experience). To save some time in this post, I decided to take a chance and buy the software ( ). I saw a few Goggle results referring to the vorpX application and decided to look further. Without previous knowledge of vorpX software, I started wondering and seeing if there was a way to allow applications with non-VR 3D view to be “converted” to VR support. After some digging I got it to work, and the new IL-2’s VR support, although in need of some work, is incredible, I can’t really describe it… like a little-boy-dream fulfilled… If you are supporting it, I highly recommend you to read the posts on the subject ( ).īut of course I still enjoy the good old IL-2 Sturmovik, which evolved into BAT. I have been saving some money for a VR set so I could use it in the new IL-2 Great Battle series and weighting features I decided to go for the Oculus Rift S for my PC (Alienware Aurora 7 Intel i7 / 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080).
I had IL-2 / BAT work in VR for the first time using the Oculus Rift S VR set using the vorpX software. But I did a little more, with support from the wife and kids… As a huge fanatic of military aviation, particularly WW2, on 7 Dec, I watched “Tora! Tora! Tora!”, IMHO the best movie on the Pearl Harbor attack. I know this topic has been discussed at times in SAS, but I figured I would share my experience. VR in IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 / BAT works! OMG! Meaning of life found!
