Hi all,

I have bought the game on 6th of december (Santa came :grin: ) and am looking forward for online experience. I am also a big fan of BoS, but now I am going to play BoP most of the time. I am interested in simulator mode, but realistic also will do.
I would like to unlock the planes, weapons and get the trophies.

I will be very happy if people who still play BoP add me as a friend and invite me to their games. I play most of the evenings (for 6.30 p.m until 9.30 p.m). At weekends I play at afternoons and evenings.

I am on PS3.
My PS ID: ewiontko
Time: UTC/GMT +1

Hope to see you in BoP sky :cool:

Hi all,

Just got an X Box for my wife's exercising but just had to get Sturmovik for some flight action!! Am totally new but hope this site will help me! My Dad was a gunner on TBF's in 44-45 and kindled, all those years ago, my keen interest and passion for WWII history. Hope to speak with many of you in the coming months. . .

HA i never thought about the pirate also could mean pirated game. shows you how oblivious i am to gaming stuff. i dont think klem is going to come back so i will PM him...

TBF... you are on the east coast. maybe we can set up a time some night to fly. i live in PA and usually can get on after 1030pm week nights. if i know in advance i may be able to coax a few of the other guys to come out and play. if you really love the TBF you can fly one in Birds of Steel...which is like this game. they have a TBF-1C...you can sink all the jap carriers you want....lol. let me know.

I wish you luck with it RP. Try '46 on line some time :)

just got the X-box console and am awaiting my HORI EX2 stick! Once I get a little flight time I hope to meet some of you!

Mike

Received the stick a few days ago and also got the IL-2 game for X-Box! The stick is awesome but man, I can't fly a lick! Need a lot of flight time to be able to fly with you boys! In my tutorial flights, I am stuck on flight #3 where I need to use my gun camera. . .can't find it on my stick controller! I did fine with the Barrage Balloons and Heinkels but cannot finish the flight! I think my son can help me. . .! :cool:

Happy to find this place!
 

Brian here, XBLA Tag "KISS MY IRISH A". Just recently got BoP. I'm a longtime vet of IL-2 2 on PC but my PC died and I wanted to try the new console game. Aviation is my passion and my reconstructed shoulder (baseball) is the only thing that prevented me from following the family tradition of military aviation. I don't currently have a flight stick for Xbox, and I was wondering what other thought about the playability of a gamepad on simulation difficulty. I deffinatly miss the dynamic campaign mode of the old PC game. I always played with full realism, and my longest career (without dying) was 23 missions (in ten years of gameplay), this experience gave me a great respect for the men who flew the real thing!
My favorite ww2 aircraft (by far) is the La-7 b3x20. Perfectly manuverable, fast, stable, and 3 20mm cannons made quick work of damn near anything!
I'm a stay at home dad now so I play whenever my little man is napping or sleeping, usually 10pm to 1am CST and sometimes noon to 2pm. Please add me to your friends list. I'm a friendly, experienced pilot and a deffinate team player!

I played and loved the PC game for ten years. Your gunsight in some aircraft (like the 109) are not center mounted. Go to your controls and find "toggle gunsight ( control G by default I think) this will adjust your view so you can aim!

Just checked out the BoS demo
 

Holy crap BoS is awesome. I was reading thru the posts an I just realized BoS is the (sequel?) anyway, I remember the days when the people who worked at the game store actually KNEW their products. Wish I wouldn't have bought BoP, I'll still play it, but now I NEED BoS!!!

your german planes in BoP dont have cockpits...so you can only fly 3rd person or virtual cockpit without the istrument panel. you cant use a key board either. in your menu you can configure your flight stick. its been forever since i played BoP..if they show an ace edge use that for your hori.

if you have a hard time flying play with your sensitivities. do yourself a favor and do some searches. everything you all are having problems with...has been written about...and if there is a fix...it is listed.

its a pretty decent game....it does have bugs ( which are also listed )...but you can have hours of fun with this.

A 'nother Noob!
 

Hey, new (as of yesterday) to the forum. I fly on the PS3 PSN ID: veritas41 and I'm central-USA time zone.

I was never into PC gaming or 'flight sims' but I liked the arcady 'Secret Weapons over Normandy' game that was for PS2 which was a WW2ish game. I came acrossed BoP and gave it a shot and I liked it quite a bit! Considering the difficulty realistic and simulator mode can create, along with a good online interface, it definately is a keeper... enough to actually provoke me to look for any BoP forums! :)

Currently I'm still going after unlocks and still trying to brush up on more advanced dogfighting tactics... and figuring out whether I like the standard or aviator controller setup. I'm getting a hang on things but there is a ton of room for improvement from my end. I keep an eye-out for anyone wanting to go a few rounds on BoP so feel free to PM or contact me on PSN!
