Nice find. I don't usually look at Eurogamer but I guess I will be from now on.

Good article, nice touch holding the preview in Churchill's bunker.
As far as game play news, I'm slightly disappointed that there will be no blackouts/redouts for positive and negative G in Simulation mode. I would have liked that as an option.

Oh lame!! Geez, Jane's World War II Fighters had that back in 2001!!!
You'd think that would be a no-brainer but maybe the devs weren't aware of these phenomena?

The feature was in the game till November 2008 (and was actually presented to press on numerous events).
It was turned off, because focus-group was reported it as bug, especially in Arcade settings.

Are blackouts/redouts available as an option? I have heard the difficulty settings are customisable.

Anon you stated there would be TAKE OFFS and Landings. This guy says landings are optional and there was no TAKE OFFS.

Read the comments on that article. The guy corrects himself and says there will be take offs and landings.

There are missions with take-offs.
As well as MP modes.
It is impossible to make sure, that all journalists will know everything about the game, especially in preview.

Anton, are the difficulty settings customisable? I know there are three different difficulty settings, but is it possible to choose which options such as infinite ammo, cockpit only view, realistic gunnery and so on you want to use?

Some of them are - in MP and Single Missions.
In Campaign, you have just 3 presets.

This is an important and realistic feature in simulation mode. It can´t be taken out.

Not having blackouts is not a good design decision. I understand not having it in arcade mode but it is a must in simulation. EVERY flight simulator has blackouts and redouts.

Yeah, this is pretty ridiculous. In sim mode black/redouts would have had a impact on winning or losing a dogfight. To take them out because of an ignorant focus group is crazy!
It's a crucial bit of depth that will be sorely missed.

i do agree,but a little respect man, i dont like your tone of voice against anton, or anyone you speak to that way, i agree with you, but the way you put it it sounds unrespectfull
"who cares about a focus group?"
well, people in sales, marketing, product development....pretty much anyone related to selling stuff-including politicians...
yes, no blackouts is a shame but not worth busting a blood vessel over... and theres always patches...;)

Currently, the level of needed update is just one word in configuration file - and feature will be 'added'. It is actually in the game, just turned off.
