I Have An Old (2011) IL-2 Cliff Of Dover Disk. If I Install It, Will It Update To The Current Version? Or Will I Have To Purchase IL-2 COD Blitz?

Back When I Did Fly Sims, I Used A Logitech 3D Extreme. Would That Suffice?

Do You Fly On A Private Server Or On Steam?

Thanks In Advance

Hi loocius, and welcome to the forum.

Hopefully I get these answers right. So far I believe it’s all good news for you.

I Have An Old (2011) IL-2 Cliff Of Dover Disk. If I Install It, Will It Update To The Current Version? Or Will I Have To Purchase IL-2 COD Blitz?

Yes, install it. Steam will recognize that it is a legally-purchased licence (ie not pirated) and will automatically update it to the current 4.55 BLITZ edition.

Back When I Did Fly Sims, I Used A Logitech 3D Extreme. Would That Suffice?

Yes, I think that should work fine. Any word from Logitech 3D Extreme owners here on the forum?

Do You Fly On A Private Server Or On Steam?

There are a number of private servers that will show up on the Multiplayer window in the game menu. Steam must be running in order to view them and join them. The ATAG server is called Axis versus Allies, there are another half dozen excellent servers to choose from.

Thanks In Advance

You don't need Install the old disk - nothing good there, just log on your STEAM account - if don't have, create one, is free.

In STEAM interface click in
+ Add a game
Choose "Activate a Product in STEAM..."
Enter your IL-2 CloD DVD serial key.
Await install, cross the fingers - just in case cross of your right foot too

After install finish, double click over IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Blitz shortcut, close your eyes and wait 1/2 minutes.

Tcharammmmmm!

I use the same Logitech joy stick, and works for me. But I am sure there are better for a price. Try this and see how it goes.

I also used the Logitech Extreme 3D for almost 3 years. I recently switched to the Thrustmaster 16000 but it wasn't because of any major issues with the Logitech stick. I just thought I was due for a slight upgrade

I noticed that the Logitech stick shows a bit more jitter in sims like DCS (I think mainly because the animation of the stick movement in the cockpit in DCS has a higher "resolution", so to speak), but it has never given me such issues in flight in CLOD.

Welcome to the community!

To install it just use the serial key in Steam as 1lokos described.

The Logitech gets the job done (but that's about it.) I had one for 3 or 4 years but I upgraded to a Defender Cobra M5 (bit of a rare stick, don't know if you can get it anymore) and man was it worth it.

For a relatively cheap price the Thrustmater T16000 is pretty good - much better sensors than the Logitech but still pretty cheap.

Seeing That I Have A Blazing DL Speed Of 5Mb/sec, It Would Be Less Aggravating Just To Buy The Disk. Does A Disk Version Even Exist? If So, Where May One Obtain It?

Just For Kicks.....I Have A Microsoft FFB2 Stick...Never Left The Box....

ekoksk go into>Options>Controls> and bind a key or button to 'Lean to Gunsight'.

hello everyone.I have Cliffs of Dover Blitz and sturmovik battle of stalingrad .I am very new in the simulator.2 days ago trackır 5 pro bought.but i'm having problems. Cliffs of Dover Blitz jumping too much in the center.I've tried with various settings for smoothing and sensitivity.but the same problem.with the same settings sturmovik battle of stalingrad i have no problems.I do not know can be a fine-tuning.because if there's a problem, it's gotta be both.I don't know what to do.I'm waiting for your help.treat yourself well

I use the logitech exterem 3d pro and find it fine. I also run JoyStick Curves in the background and set the curves to significantly dampen the effect when near the center of stick movement.

So use care when setting the keys so that you have all you need quickly there. I don't use the hat. Set one of the side buttons for firing the gun because I found that when set to the trigger the plane jerked whenever I fired. Top 4 are , tab hatch, zoom in and out, and map. Side button is war emergency power. Side of base are fire all, fire machine guns only, RPM up and down, brakes, and bail out. These could be improved and may make some changes soon.

I would advise that you use TeamSpeak, adds a lot when able to communicate and visit.

Good luck,
Damon
