I've been waiting for this one. Hopefully it's up on PSN tomorrow. How long's it been since a decent realistic flight sim came out? Three years...

Cool, I was talking to a co-worker a few days ago about the lack of flight sims over the years. Gonna grab this tonight.

It was fun - I played it on Arcade mode. Not sure if I want to wait on it though, made the mistake of getting HAWX opening weekend.

Arcade mode plays pretty well. Simulator mode is really difficult with the controller though, need to turn down the sensitivity all the way to avoid rolling yourself to death.

The game seems to ahve some framerate issues, especially with burning/exploding planes as I shoot them. Its annoying. I think I will stick with IL-2 1946.
