Dear friends, we have some important news to share with you!
Due to the launch of the new IL-2 series website, the old forum, which has been with us for 12 years, will be closed. It will be switched to read-only mode, so old posts can still be viewed, but no new ones can be created.
Our game websites and forums are moving to a new technology platform. This is primarily due to the need to tighten account security measures. The old forum was connected to the IL-2 user database, which allowed us to display icons showing which modules had been purchased. In addition, every game purchaser was automatically registered on the forum. This creates a potential risk, as malicious users can more easily access the old forum database than the central, secure player database.
On Monday, November 24, 2025, a new game forum will be launched. It will be similar to the old one, but there will no longer be a direct connection between the forum and website databases. Accounts on the new forum will be completely independent of accounts on the website. Unfortunately, this will not allow us to provide forum badges for purchased items. Registration on the forum will not be automatic or mandatory. You can register at your discretion, and your forum nickname may differ from your in-game nickname.
IMPORTANT: If you have important information in your private messages on the old forum that you would like to save, please do so before Monday, as you won't be able to access them after that.
Thank you for your understanding! See you on the new forum!
