IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad (Linux)

LookPilot Configuration

1. Set protocol to auto
2. Launch the game
3. Select the game's Wine prefix in Game's Wine prefix dropdown
4. Click Start tracking to begin tracking and wait for about 10 seconds
5. Click Stop tracking
6. Restart the game
7. Click Start tracking

Fallback Option

If the above method doesn't work, try using the freetrack (Wine) protocol:

1. Set protocol to freetrack (Wine)
2. Select your Steam installation from the dropdown
3. Set the game in the game dropdown
4. Launch the game from Steam
5. Click Start tracking to begin tracking and wait for about 10 seconds
6. Click Stop tracking
7. Restart the game
8. Click Start tracking

IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad Setup

1. If launching the game from Steam, make sure to force the use of specific compatibility tool (Proton)
2. Head tracking should work automatically. If it doesn't respond, check the game's settings for a TrackIR or head tracking option that may need to be enabled.

Second fallback: virtual joystick

If neither auto nor freetrack (Wine) ever connects (status stays yellow), users have had good results with the virtual joystick protocol instead (community-confirmed):

1. Set protocol to virtual joystick and start tracking.
2. In IL-2's controls, bind Bow head vertically and Bow head horizontally to the virtual right stick axes.
