IL-2 hosting at Fox3 covers both Great Battles (GBS) and Cliffs of Dover, with the same turn-key onboarding as DCS.
The /servers/il2 page, pick your IL-2 flavor and tier.
Great Battles vs Cliffs of Dover
Both branches of the IL-2 series are supported, pick the title you and your group fly:
Great Battles (GBS): Battle of Stalingrad, Moscow, Kuban, Bodenplatte, Normandy, etc.
Cliffs of Dover (Tobruk / Blitz / Desert Wings) , the Channel front and the Mediterranean theatre.
If you need both, open separate servers, they don’t share a process.
What’s pre-configured
Latest stable game build, kept current automatically
Standard tournament-friendly difficulty defaults
RDP access to the server for direct mission and config management
Server-side stats and replay capture where the title supports it
Slot counts
IL-2 tiers are sized by player count and complexity of the active mission. Most squadrons are fine on the mid tier; the top tier is reserved for high-population public servers and big organized events.
Mods & custom missions
Connect to your IL-2 server over RDP using the credentials we hand off at provisioning, drop your missions and mod files into the appropriate game folder, and restart the server. We’ll point you at the right paths during setup.
