Hi @walmis, I have ordered a Rhino, Assigned S/N: #1428. Due to the wait time, and after reading the DIY pages I have decided to build 2 FFB setups, one for my stick and one for my rudder pedals. Q1: How do I cancel my reservation order for the Rhino? Q2: I will need 3 motors and 2 control boards. Do you have enough 86BLF03 and 86BLF04 in stock? Thanks in advance

DDiverzant 6-9 months according to people here that recently got theirs

That’s really not bad. I waited 4 months for my whole Virpil setup and at the time I had nothing to use during the wait, now this will just be like a treat when my number comes up.

Dev Blog №1

In this issue, we'll go over the top and outline the main qualities of the new project.

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/25/24, 3:13 PM

IL-2 Korea announced! On a brand new graphics engine etc.

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/25/24, 3:13 PM

No word on release date, I'm no dev but to me how things are worded sounds like a 2025 release

Jon (Bounty_V)•6/25/24, 3:14 PM

Since this is just the very first blog post they have for the game I'm sure all sorts of juicy info such as supported hardware and features (such as potential VR, FFB, etc.) will be shared later on

1524 is the serial number, not the waiting list

FFuturPaladin [FR/2A]☨1524 is the serial number, not the waiting list

Falcoblu•6/25/24, 5:43 PM

Safe? this is what I get if I ask the bot about the status of my pre-order:

Falcoblu•6/25/24, 5:43 PM

Reservation date: 2024-06-11 11:55:23
Assigned S/N: #1524
926 Rhinos to go!
Reservation Status: Waiting

Falcoblu•6/25/24, 5:44 PM

It actually says that there are 926 Rhinos left before "mine", so in fact it's as if it were a waiting list--

SSR-F_Winger_[73]_David I was a little concerned in the beginning as well. But actually i think that the...

Hiob•6/25/24, 5:48 PM

Exactly my thoughts. Software and community will win this game.

you don't need to cancel now, just put in your kit orders

1400s is still a long time and keep that backup option in your back pocket, it's not like you've committed your funds to anything by being on the list

FuturPaladin [FR/2A]☨•6/25/24, 6:00 PM

Well yeah obviously but you went down 50 in it, not that 50 were made

@Grover what’s the status?

FFuturPaladin [FR/2A]☨Well yeah obviously but you went down 50 in it, not that 50 were made

Falcoblu•6/25/24, 7:04 PM

In fact, in 20 days I don't really believe that 50 Rhinos were made, evidently someone gave up on the pre-order and consequently I have reduced the number of specimen they assigned to me, but the matter does not change, my specimen will be produced after another 926 Rhinos , that is, in fact it is the waiting list...

(41F) RAFAIR Dave H•6/25/24, 7:07 PM

yes ita a wzaiting list but you move up the list as others in front of you cancel as the wait is too long etc so as said some weekss it can jump as many as 50

never underestimate the power of the crummy thrustmaster brand name

nubbins•6/25/24, 8:57 PM

i kinda feel bad as AVA is finally a decent base, but then again TM has also milked the garbage warthog for this long without making AVA (what warthog should have been), so they probably deserve to fail

Nnubbins you don't need to cancel now, just put in your kit orders

DLOP•6/25/24, 10:01 PM

Thanks Nubbins

Kamini•6/26/24, 1:10 PM

I'm conflicted. On one hand I would love to have a rhino as fast as possible. On the other hand having been assigned serial number 911 on flight sim equipment is exactly my kind of dark humor

Korea is an interesting choice over Vietnam. But it’s probably a little less crowded market than Vietnam era which DCS seems to have cornered.

you can try building it yourself, definetly will be faster, even if you dont have a 3d printer

Plane wise though I think they do. It would be hard to follow the hearblur F4 with a F4 in an IL2 game. Same for other late planes. Purely from a marketing standpoint I mean. That being said I like the mid-fidelity that IL2 GB offers. It’s enough to feel like I am actually flying the plane without being 1000 page manual required or overly arcadey.

AndyHill•6/26/24, 4:18 PM

I think the amount of systems modeling would be a stretch for the Il-2 team when it comes to Vietnam era, but there's something to be said about actually having the Vietnam map, themed campaigns and such
