folks, why rain on the console people's parade ?
they are getting a great new sim for their platform, and all *the usual suspects* here seem to do is post snide remarks and trying to make the newcomers feel unwelcome.
the console users are getting il2/BoB on their 50' living room plasma's long before the rest of the pc crowd gets a sniff of it on their puny desktop monitors, and we are still living on promises and good faith (which is starting to run thin).
have a look at something like this on your hidef plasma,

btw the console version also has a specific release date, good luck to them !
