Translation (close to text, but with corrected grammar :) )
I was on Igromir http://www.igromir-expo.ru/ (The game was presented there in playable version - Anton)

I've played in IL-2: Birds of Prey for about an hour an a half.
Graphics - was super, new damaging model - excellent, ground objects - shocking (was obscene slang here, meaning it is very good), everything is very detailed and realistic, they've really doing a great job on that.
Detalisation of planes as good as it was earlier (More shadows, highlights, etc), in cockpit also. Of course, it is players opinion. Actually planes are much more detailed, as everyone can see on screenshots and trailers - but I am only translating.

Huge minus - everything is happening on Xbox360, and there is no even flightstick, so I had to fight wit that freaking Xbox360 gamepad - that's why I played on Simplified settings (Arcade).

But in general - I like the game very much, have spent one hour in killing Messerchmits playing on I-16 (so-called ishak, slang name of the plane), than tried IL-2, and in the end - on Spitfire.

Very cool. There is simply NOT enough info or media about this game...

I agree.

Anton, perhaps you could elaborate on why there have been three trailers released but none have appeared on Xbox Live? Is this because Microsoft has not approved the game yet? :confused:The game would benefit greatly if it was showcased on Xbox Marketplace.

Yes...I've watched all the video & trailers on YouTube about 20 times each and I just wish there was MORE!!!

I would love to see some more in-cockpit footage.

He has a link to what seems like some gameplay footage there, but i cant access it.

Вот видео с демонстрационного диска 1С который на стенде у них взял ftp://neptune.degunino.net/uploads/main/30_days/Il-2 Birds of Prey.exe

Maybe a password is on the page somewhere.

This video was already published here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...2&postcount=14

I thought he might of had some interesting camera footage or something.

Because it's too early.
1C starts some promotion (trailers, announce, previews) of the game earlier for more hardcore audience.
But there, of course, will be trailers on Xbox Marketplace, and everything like this - a bit later.

lol at pc gamers being so "elite" that they cant play a game on a game controller :grin:


Anyway

Anton you guys really need to involve the community some more in the game.

Stuff like a beta on XBOX live marketplace so we can help test your net code and give good feedback

not to mention it would give you a MASSIVE publicity boost
