Not a Port. A Foundation.
1C Game Studios has supported VR for over a decade — since the first HTC Vive and Oculus Rift CV1 shipped in 2016. That's ten years of accumulated VR flight sim expertise, channeled into Korea. IL-2 Series. This isn't a flat screen game with VR bolted on. It was built with OpenXR from the ground up.
The 1C team spent six months in close collaboration with NVIDIA engineers, tuning VR performance at the driver level.
The result: stable frame rates in dense combat scenes, even with hundreds of aircraft in the sky. A dedicated VR graphics preset means you don't have to guess which settings work — it's dialed in from the start.
- DLSS & FSR Support
Both NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR upscaling are fully compatible with VR mode, letting you push resolution higher without melting your GPU. - VR Graphics Preset
A dedicated preset tuned specifically for headset rendering. No trial-and-error — just launch and fly with settings optimized for stereoscopic performance. - Seated Cockpit Mode
Designed for seated play with HOTAS and rudder pedals. The cockpit is your fixed reference frame — the most comfortable way to enter VR flight. - Continuous VR Evaluation
Every update to Korea is evaluated for VR impact. The 1C team flies in VR themselves. If it breaks the headset experience, it doesn't ship.
The result isn't a sim that "also works in VR." It's a sim where VR is theintended wayto experience it — every gauge, every gunsight, every cloud formation built to be seen through a headset. And Pimax headsets are built to deliver that experience at its fullest.
Common Questions
Yes. VR support is already live in Early Access and will be fully supported at the August 4th launch. The game was built with OpenXR from the ground up, with DLSS/FSR upscaling fully compatible with VR mode, and a dedicated VR graphics preset. 1C Game Studios has supported VR since 2016.
Flight simulators are actually one of the most comfortable entry points into VR. Because you're seated in a cockpit — a fixed visual reference frame — your brain receives a consistent signal. Most pilots report far less discomfort in flight sims than in walking-based VR games. Start with short sessions and stable flight conditions, and most people adapt within a few flights.
A modern GPU (RTX 3070 / RX 6800 or better) is recommended for entry-level headsets. For high-resolution headsets like Crystal Super at native resolution, an RTX 4080/4090 or 5090 is recommended — especially in complex scenes. DLSS or FSR at high settings is recommended to reduce video memory pressure. The team advises setting VR Resolution to 50% on 8K-class devices for the most demanding scenes.

All Pimax headsets connect via DisplayPort and USB-C. Setup involves installing PimaxPlay software, connecting cables, and a quick room calibration — typically 10-15 minutes. Each headset includes the headset, controllers, and required cables.
