Got to fly the B-17L, a light-weight variant produced in Russia, also known as La-7. It carries 32 bombs under the very same wing pylons. Whoa, those Russian engineers are good, aren't they  ?
Things are way too shaky from inside the cockpit, and views need some tuning.
Planes start burning in one short burst, no matter what.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, and I could go on forever, but I'll keep this short.
I have to say, the whole atmosphere of the mission is good, and the radio messages are nice. Still, it's not a simumlator in any way. Maybe I feel like this because I'm a bit spoiled by IL-2
A good arcade-like aviation game. Won't get any close to IL-2's 6, however. |
U sure you have it on Sim mode, It just sounds like your describing arcade mode. I have spent 5 minutes trying to drop 1 b17 in Sim mode, pieces peeling off like crazy, one engine on fire, Huge holes all through the plane and its still pumping lead at me.
Your using full left Aileron trim, Aileron right trim , evelator trim, Full flap control, full Prop pitch control, Fuel mixture control, wheel brake, open and close cowl, Full engine managment clear down to the supercharger, Spins , Stalls, Red outs, Black outs, If you aren't your playing arcade mode. I don't how the pc demo works but in the console demo you have to unlock Sim mode to play it. In arcade mode you can drop a plane with 1 round.
Do you have your sensetivity (wop settings) turned all the way up so you can get experince the FM ? If not you will have almost no stalls and spins.
You won't have all those bombs if you turn on the Sim setting and set it to limited fuel and ammo.
I have never in my life of 30+ years of playing sims seen a arcade game with those features.
I still have yet to see one person be able to beat the game on full sim with limited ammo and fuel and no retrys. I have 6 of my DCS friends trying to do it and none of us can pull it off.
I really want to see someone pull this off, They will be a god in my book.
Sorry you feel the way you do , atleast you gave it a try, I guess the full version is a way different game then the demo, thank heavens I never tried the demo before I bought it.
