Hi,
Just got this game (PS3) and I'm utterly blown away. Long time PC player of IL-2 series, right up to 1946 with community mods. This however, is a different beast entirely. Visually and audibly stunning. A joy to play and watch and when coupled with the T-Flight Hotas X, it is a dream to play on a 40" 1080p Sammy
Without reading all 44 pages of submissions, I would like to mention one or two that might have already been suggested.
V-Sync. As I said, visually stunning, but the tearing on cockpit and landscape panning is just awful. Please, please force v-sync on.
Replays. The 'Awesome Moments Thread' shows just how much a feature like this would improve the whole experience. I have had a couple of epic dogfights online recently that I just wish I could watch again from multiple viewpoints. Perhaps user-enabled auto track recording of each sortie, from spawn to crash/land/destroyed? File size should not really be an issue. PS3's of course allow you to use your own HDD. I have a 250GB in mine. Many PS3 owners use their own higher capacity drives.
Photo-mode. Take a screen-shot (jpg/bmp) during game play or replay (if it gets added).
Controller Deadzone. Needs to be adjustable on joysticks. On the T-Flight Hotas X, it's bearable but needs to be smaller for more accurate targeting. I have read that the same stick has a smaller deadzone when connected to a PC so it sounds like it could be an in-game issue?
T-Flight Hatswitch views. Currently 4 point digital. Needs to be 8 way with down+left=look over left shoulder, down+right=look over right shoulder for checking six. Down as-is for instruments(?).
For me these would be the icing, with future expandability with DLC an added bonus.
Regards
Dex
*EDIT* Just read that V-Sync on PS3 is fixed in upcoming patch. Sweet.
Also PC flightstick support with custom layout. I wonder if my Saitek Evo Force will work? Maybe, but I doubt it will register FFB...
I'd forgotten about the PS3 built in feature to capture screenshots so scratch that request. Press PS3 home button, go to photo icon on XMB and capture screenshot, easy.
