Great video. Having the markers on isn’t as “cinematic”, but it makes for a much better video. Even with UA-cam at max resolution, spotting enemy planes in videos is very difficult. You should do a video on your whole hardware setup, including controllers and mappings. That’s something I find very challenging in VR, since it’s much harder to use keyboard.
I like the markers! Like you mentioned UA-cam compression makes it harder to spot targets so they’re quite useful. It’s also interesting to see when you spot the enemies and how you react to them.
At first, I had mixed emotions about leaving the markers on in my videos. However, for the same reason you stated, I thought it best to leave the markers on. I do believe it creates less confusion for the view to be able to see what you see without markers they need markers to see.
I absolutely like having the markers wish more people did them. I think another way could be to circle them when they're far out every now and then maybe.
@@SheriffsSimShack I do miss the techno chat btw. I like to study your engine commands, it's a good way to learn engine management. Though I guess this forces me to pay more attention to your instruments when their visible.
Yeah, I imagine doing a video on key setup is a pain. It took a long time to not only figure out how to get my rig configured, but to remember where everything was. Especially as I always fly in VR, and I wear glasses, so I can't just tip up the headset quick to check my cheat sheet. It was quite a bit of work to get down what I felt was a logical(More or less) config that wouldn't take forever to get down pat.
Those little markers are good for spotting distant targets in UA-cam. But I wish they didn't add any text as they get closer - that's distracting to me. Is there a mod or something that could fix that?
I use a mod that only shows a colored diamond and no aircraft description or distance information: forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/38978-mod-icons/ If you aren't a member of the forum I think you will need to register to download.
Yeah,having markers on the enemy planes is good,also more exterior shots of your/enemy planes would be a bonus to show off the excellent graphics, thanks
The markers on aircraft didn’t do anything for me, all things considered. I’m only left wondering when you’ll put some videos up with the Spitfire mk. XIV.
es sieht so weich aus wie du fliegst und die kamera steuerst und das macht so bock zu zugucken heftig geil, hast du ein video wo du erklärst wie du alles eingestellt hast oder was muss ich mir da ambesten angucken? fliegst du mit maus und tastatur ne oder?

@@SheriffsSimShack I think I tried this yesterday, but it didn't work for me. I put it onto the thumb two-way button on my Warthog stick right below the red one on the top left. But nothing happens when I press the button.
@@SheriffsSimShack I look into it tonight, because without zoom you have a serious disadvantage with VR. On the other hand it's awesome for flying I have the HP Reverb G2 as well and I am flying sim games since 1989 and it never felt so real. I am still so excited. I dreamed about this when I was a kid and now it comes true.
@@SheriffsSimShack Okay, I got it. Yesterday I did this in the "Allgemein" (General?) settings, but as you told me, you have got to do it in the pilots head control section. Now it works perfectly. Thanks!

This is a combat flight simulator, not a terrain simulator lol Besides there's nothin' wrong with it, looks fairly realistic as is. Il-2 1946 already had terrain that resembled terrain, thus fulfilling its purpose of being terrain :p (okay the flat forests and colliderless single trees were weird, but hey, least that game doesn't lag lol)
Thank so much for using the markers once in awhile. Very helpful for us rookies in our progression.

Entertaining, markers up to you, with your cinematic there not needed in my view, watched and 👍 Liked

As a newer player, the marks makes it infinitely easier for me to understand what is going on.
I havent seen your vids in a while, Your english is really clear now. You're not so broad with your German accent now.
Surprised to see you flying with the rear armor. I feel so claustrophobic with it installed, but I guess it makes me zig-zag to check my six deeper.
It's enforced by the server.

I still hope you'll do a How to on the F2 one day.
Nice one, but I like it much more without the markers to be honest. (my few cents)

Enjoyed the show!
Nice video, Sheriff. I notice you have a smooth transition in looking back to check 6. Are you using the "VR neck saver" utility?
Flyby out
No. I just employ my swivel chair to the fullest :)
AFAIK Sheriff uses a swivel chair :)
@@SheriffsSimShack rgrt.👍
Do you plan on doing a video featuring and explaining graphic settings in the future?
Can do. Not sure when. But I guess after the next or after that one.
Will be a good ideea.👍
@@SheriffsSimShack This would be awesome!
love the red indikator

Can you please do a guide video on the macchi. It's the plane the confuses me the most on best playstyle
много лет летаю и очень нравится FW 190
Very well done! I usually miss that one fighter and get nuked :D
Makes it better with markers on .

Nein das fliegt man alles mit einem flightstick. Ich arbeite gerade an einem Video. das kommt die nächsten Tage.

On my ipad, its nice to se the markers👍
109F against LaGG. . . Not at all fair, but historically accurate. At least the IL-2 LaGGs don’t spontaneously delaminate.
How do you zoom in while using VR? I just got mine this week and havn't found out so far.
Quick zoom assignments in the pilot head control section of the control menue.
@@SheriffsSimShack I think I tried this yesterday, but it didn't work for me. I put it onto the thumb two-way button on my Warthog stick right below the red one on the top left. But nothing happens when I press the button.
Well I don't know why it doesn't work for you but this is how it should work.

Way easier to follow with the makers on.
What performance do you get with the G2? What resolution are you using and what settings?
IL-2 Graphic settings for VR:
Games VR resolution is set to 70% in Steam VR. I get more than 90FPS this way.

@@SheriffsSimShack thank you. So you are undersampling. Is the image quality still better than other headsets?
@@SheriffsSimShack no shadows, that's tough
@@nachtraumom i cant compare. But its really good, performance at 90hz is good.
@@nachtraumom no shadows look better than low shadows. Low shadows just look like crap.
The labels don't ruin the video for me. Solo stuff where you don't call it out is best for them.
Record your right eye next time.
Not possible from the replay
Great video, but the terrain looks so dated for 2021 compared to MSFS and even Warthunder.
It's in VR so graphics will be set lower
@@NorthernGrim Even on ultra flatscreen the terrain is poor.
@@virtual_warbirds no it isn't, MSFS is just really good. it also runs like dogshit
This is a combat flight simulator, not a terrain simulator lol
