IL-2 Sturmovik
Embedded Files
Below is the tuning for IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad. The tunings include telemetry capture and averaged from the BF109, HE111, Spitfire, and P-51 Mustang. The General Tuning is intended to work with all the aircraft in IL-2 including ground vehicles.
WARNING: Changing Positions in the 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. 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.

Multiple Tunings for IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad
Unfortunately, IL-2 does not export the name of the aircraft in telemetry. This makes it impossible for SimRacingStudio to automatically load different motion profiles for different aircraft. However, utilizing the ability for SRS to import/export tunings, a user can create multiple tunings for IL-2 by following the process here.

Required Adjustments Based on Platform
This motion profile was created on a PT Actuator 6DOF Simracing Platform (150mm: 7 Actuators (2 Front + 2 Rear + 2 TL + Surge). Since all motion platforms can be slightly different, please use the guidance below or utilize the quick tuning guide here for quick adjustments or the full guide here for detailed tuning information.
4 Vertical Actuator Tuning
Sway, Surge, and Traction Loss is converted into pitch or roll for platforms that do not have horizontal actuators. Since these motion profiles were created on a platform with horizontal actuators, the tuning(s) could result in excessive pitch or roll on platforms without horizontal actuators.
IMPORTANT: For an axis that does not have a dedicated horizontal actuator, it might be necessary to reduce the Effect Slider for Lat G Sway, Long G Surge Accel and Long G Surge Decel, or Traction Loss by 60% to mitigate excessive movement. For example:

IMPORTANT: For an axis that does not have a dedicated horizontal actuator, it might be necessary to reduce the Effect Slider for Lat G Sway, Long G Surge Accel and Long G Surge Decel, or Traction Loss by 60% to mitigate excessive movement. For example:
If no Sway actuators, reduce the Sway Effect Slider from 14 to 6.
If no Surge actuator, reduce the Long G Surge Accel/Decel Effect Slider from 17 to 7 & 15 to 6.
If no Traction Loss actuator, reduce the Traction Loss Effect Slider from 16 to 6.
Actuator Size and Mounting
These motion profiles were created on a platform with 150mm actuators with the Front to Rear Vertical Actuator spacing at 1290mm and the Left to Right Vertical Actuator spacing at 745mm. Actuators placed closer together or are larger than 150mm will increase the angle of pitch and roll. To mitigate the increase of motion if needed, reduce the Effect Slider for the impacted effects or reduce the Max Angle.
Max Angle
These motion profiles have balanced to allow for the increase of Max Angle and Max Horizontal to 100 (unless noted otherwise). This will allow for the maximum movement capabilities of the vertical actuators. However, if less motion is desired, reduction of the Max Angle will reduce overall motion while still retaining the balanced effects.
Reverse Surge
These motion profiles were created with the surge actuator reversed. This will cause the platform to move forward when accelerating and backwards when decelerating. To reverse the surge actuator, please follow the tutorial here.
Spike Filter
The motion profile have been tuned to a Spike Filter setting of 1800 to limit extreme motion during inverted flight transitions.

IMPORTANT: If you have downloaded the motion profile from the SRS Cloud Share, it will utilize your default Spike Filter settings. If you do not increase it as indicated in the motion profile, your Spike Filter may engage often and motion will feel muted.

Notes: It is highly recommended to utilize the Cannon and Missing Firing Flight Effects via binding a joystick button to these effects. Heave Max Telemetry and Effect Smoothing increased to mitigate heave spikes during pitching the aircraft. Surge Effect Smoothing increased to mitigate jarring surge motion during takeoff.
