IL-2 Sturmovik Problem

Its the first flight simulater I have got so Ihave no recent experiance of flight sims. And I got a joystick to play the game. So I install the game , looks good..
I run the game , see the training... Than when I start a mission , I can't even take off. The plane won't stop turning left , I tried unplugging the new joystick I have , but it keeps turning left :?
Anything to fix this? Thanks

If it is your first time you can turn off some of the gyro/torque effects in difficulties. There is also many other settings there to assist a newcomer to get the grasp like turning damage off then turn everything else on and try not to crash on take off and landings, just try touch and go to the ground(just so you dont have to reset when you crash).

Also look for IL-2 JoyControl. It has set up features that IL-2 doesnt have for your joystick.

B e sure to check out UBI forums for all your IL-2, FB, PF.... discussion.

^ This is the PC forum but I would suggest taking your copy back and getting a replacement.

Anyways just don't make the throttle, I like to climb in increments of 20 with a few seconds pause in between each.

Also if this is your first sim maybe you should try turning some stuff off in the realism settings and then slowly turning them back on as you get better.

That game is not an easy game to play... Suggest tuning down the realism, if you don't want to play a simulation; which IL2, really is.

Anyway the pull is normal for that game if you have prop torque on. I suggest turning that off in the difficulty section if you don't want it. Or, buy yourself some rudders or a joystick that has an extra control for rudder control. And it won't stop when you lift of the ground, not in that game. If you had rudders or if you use the keyboard for rudder control, you'll find that all the planes in the game have a manual adjust, for torque built into the rudders controls, themselves. The right pedal in the game doesn't reset to the center. It stays put to oppose the torque of the prop, and will reset to the center when you tap the left rudder pedal; you can note that in the cockpit's pedal animations, too.

Also there are trim setting in the game, usually on the right side of the cockpit, where you'll see the dials spinning (when you play with the keyboard manual trim settings) and cables tighting to trim the air surfaces, but only on some planes, not all. Not all the planes in that game have fully animated cockpits. And adusting trim isn't easy, it changes depending on the RPM setting and general speed of the plane, so basicly, you are always conpensating or readjusting trip every time you touch the throttle.

Not everything in that game is complete either, for example there is no fuel gauge on the P40 (if you have the Pacific expansion pack.). The gauge is there on the floorboard, beside the rudder pedals, but it doesn't function. And a lot of the gauges are just wrong. Some temp gauges in that game are in celcius, but the needle is using Farienheit, so they end up always being pegged out....

Anyway in short, the planes act like the real thing, and are all pretty hard to fly. The only plane in that game that's easy to fly is the... J8a. It's only easy to fly, because it's hard to spin, taking off and landing is another story, though. It's also hard to get kills in that plane, because it doesn't have much of a top end speed.
