Please use the troubleshooting below to resolve the following issues with IL-2 Sturmovik:
- SimHaptic effects are laggy/delayed
- Extreme motion when changing positions in multi-crew aircraft
- Unable to create profiles for specific aircraft
SimHaptic effects are laggy/delayed
If you are experiencing laggy/delayed shaking effects with SimHaptic, please try the steps below to allows SRS to control motion and SimHaptics to control the shake effects:
1) Include the following entries into the startup.cfg file located in the install directory for IL-2 Sturmovik in the 'data' folder and then save the file.
[KEY = motiondevice]
addr = "127.0.0.1"
decimation = 1
enable = true
port = 4321
[END]
[KEY = telemetrydevice]
addr = "127.0.0.1"
addr1 = "127.0.0.1:4321"
decimation = 1
enable = true
port = 29373
[END]
IMPORTANT: If you have already configured SRS to work with IL-2, these entries may already exist. Overwrite those entries with the ones above. Do not hit the CONFIG button again in SRS as it will overwrite the entries again with the default SRS values:
Note: The addr1 = "127.0.0.1:4321" line in the [KEY = telemetrydevice] above will allow the SRS Wind Kit to work with IL-2.
2) Ensure that you are not Port Forwarding data from SRS to SimHaptic. This is done via the Gear icon next to the Config or Instructions button in GAMES > PC. Leave the settings to default in SRS, otherwise, it might cause additional latency. Defaults appear as the image below:
3) If you are using VR, ensure that SimHaptic is minimized.
Extreme motion when changing positions in multi-crew aircraft
When changing gunner positions in an aircraft, there can be telemetry spikes in surge, sway and heave that will cause extremely jarring movement in the motion platform.
If you have actuators with a Thanos controllers, the majority of the harsh motion will be mitigated by the Spike Filter. However, if even less jarring motion is desired in these aircraft when switching positions, DECREASE the Spike Filter from 1800 to reduce these effects.
If you do not have a Spike Filter available for your platform (ie. DOF Reality or YawVR), please use a reduced motion profile when using mutli-crew aircraft or disable motion when switching between positions.
Unable to create profiles for specific aircraft
SRS does not support multiple profiles for IL-2 at this time. However, utilizing the ability for SRS to import/export profiles, a user can create multiple profiles for IL-2 by following the process here: https://simracingstudio.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/35000216832-multiple-motion-profiles-for-dirt-rally-2-0-elite-dangerous-and-il-2
