I'm going to what and see with this. That is what and see what you have to say about this. I did the checking into FSX for combat. Someone alse can step up to the plate with this.

Thanks for the heads up Martyn.

However I'll be in the wait and see camp, it just looks to me as they're pandered to the IL2 fanboy market. There are threads over at Sim HQ amongst others about wrong cockpits, flaps deployment etc. Maybe trivial to some but in this day and age with the wealth of info available there is NO excuse to get these things wrong. Shall certainly be keeping an eye on it though.
 
All I've seen and heard tells me this is another arcade game intended for the ADD afflicted generation.

Much like all the television we see here in the US with popups in the middle of a program taking up to 1/3 of the screen to tell me what I'm watching (I already know) and what is coming up next (at the moment, I don't care). Then after a commercial, we have to review the last minutes BEFORE the commercial, because apparently people have no short term memory which will last through the commercial.

Then, it's back to the MTV style of videography (flicker, flicker, flash flash) which risks causing grand mal.:a1451:

No, thanks, I prefer ETO, MAW etc where the concentration is on the SIM rather than the FlashBang.

Finally, French TV is not so bad...
 
Well I've preordered a copy. This looks like great eye candy to me. The only down side I see so far is no people on the ground. I would have liked to have seen some people in the railway station and the AA gun. Even if they were only fixed simple ones.
I hope we will see an upgrade one day that will allow us to fly the Wellington, Condor and Do17z. However it is great to see they have the right Condor in the sim. I'm very pleased to see the Blenhiem mk4. It will be good to do a little hitting back from time to time. The Tigermoth is great to see as well. I just wish they hadn't wasted their time on the modern aircraft. Have you seen those odd ones they did in CFS3 much. They would have been better using that time on the Do17z cockpit.
Has anyone read about a mission builder? I haven't seen a word on it.
Anyway all in all I'm very pleased with what we are getting from a visual point of view. I won't comment of the flight issues. That's for others. :kilroy:
 
Greg, there will be a mission builder from day 1 and it was said it will be moddable. Unfortunately, there have been no other info about those features in the last few months. I'm holding out on the purchase for now.
 
Some enterprising soul has put the UK manual up:

The complex engine management looks very interesting, as do the working bombsights.
It also mentions various crew positions having some functionality.

It also mentions 'later modules' planned for features such as adding rank insignia on uniforms, so it looks to be ongoing which bodes well for the future of it.

This could turn out to be a very good combat flight simulator after all!
 
I'm not going to get this sim for some time. I have all the flight sims I need for a long time.
