Not to poo poo it but you can't even do a power on or power off stall in the game, basic 101 training stuff. I think IL2 will safely keep it's crown as the top simulator.

Try the demo before you buy.

Ugh :|
Be quiet..
The demo they came up with was meant to give you some limited idea of what the final game will look like...
Therefore it cam with pre-defined "easy" diffiulty option...
The finall game has al the options you might imagine and some more...
IL-2 is a nice game too...

I like it, but it can't hold a candle to IL2:FB

Of course, it is advisable to own both because they cover different ground, I'm just more fond of WWII combat than modern stuff.


But flying a big old new jetfighter in which you can stand it on its a$$ and pin the throttle and just climb until the atmosphere disappears . . . . THAT is an experience every prop-jockey should have at least once . . . if only in a simulator.


(sonic booms are way cool, too)

Bah, IL2 doesn't have too many cool flyable planes, and the missions are always the same. It could have been so cool, but it just fell really short of greatness.

LOL, I guess that would depend on your nationality and attention span. :)

I don't know what you mean by the attention span remark, but I just never really cared much about Russian planes in WW2, maybe since I'm American. I'd rather fly a P-47 or P-51 than one of 12 different variants of IL2.

I haven't tried the other IL2 game, so I don't know what it's like.

Mine should be here tomorrow, but I am not opening it up until I am done with college (in three weeks :D)..

Got mine. :) It is IMO the best FS out for Modern Air War. Awesome is not the word. I really do need to read the Manual though... :) I like the A10 it is without a doubt a flting gun!

I have been waiting for this one. Hope it runs ok with the on-board video of Intel P865GBF until I pick up a new video card. I also hope the Warez version includes a manual. Just kidding. That would be wrong.

Woah, good on ya! That's gotta take some serious discipline (is that the right word?) to have an anticipated game in your hands and not open it. :beer:

I was wondering if the English Tornado is in the initial release of the game. The reason I ask is that in a pre-relese video clip of the game it showed the Tornado in all it's glory. I got an original copy of the game from a friend who has just returned from the states and I'm in a panic as it may be that the UK game release version includes this aircfraft by default. If it is in the game I cannot find it for the life of me.

Anyone know the score here?
