For me it's a winner already. Ever since i was a kid (many, many years ago) loved planes and loved games. Apart from Aces of the Pacific flight sims never really interested me. Until i downloaded the demo for BoP. On realistic mode it strikes (for me at last) the perfect balance between fun and the feeling of actually controlling a plane. I don't want to fall out of the sky every 2 seconds (simulation mode =)) And i don't want something that looks like a plane but acts like something that isn't affected by gravity (arcade mode).

Well you hit the nail on the head didn't you. It's about getting that balance down.

I think that if you understood some basic principles of aerodynamics you would understand how to keep from "falling out of the sky". Hopefully you can get the hang of it because once you do you won't go back to the Xwing feel that so many consoles replicate. Good luck

AceCombat franchise has been on air over than 14 years already, imagine their experience in Aeriel warfare game would be unbeatable...

seriously i bought my 1 ps3 JUST to play their series but the outcome was really sad.

to beat em up i believe its impossible, we might win da battle but to win da war it will takes real time.

as for me if let say they put one IL-2 & ACX on a rack, i'll rather & undoubtly choose IL-2 coz i'm more interested in WWII aircraft rather than advance aerial warfare.

WWII pioneers, they had contribute so many warefare tecnology that exist today for our daily sake of use.

Like most Italian said: I salute you...:rolleyes:

Im guessing it will do better than modern sims like Lock On.... Don't like being killed by a missile flinging enemy so far away he can't be seen.

And when Im old and wear 2 inch thick glasses I'll rant about the good old days when man killed each other with their bare hands and not with fancy weapons :rolleyes:

button...or worst by summoning their names LOL
