I have to disagree with almost your entire post. The graphics for BoP are VASTLY superior to the original PC game. If you cant see that then you must need glasses. And FYI I game on PC and have done for years so I know what Im talking about when it comes to graphics. There is no better looking combat flight game on the market at this time, FACT.
BoP wasnt "dumbed down", it was an entirely new project utilising the same franchise to launch it towards console gamers. This game was NEVER EVER designed for PC play, so there was no dumbing down. The fact that a console has much less options in controls (ie no keyboard) means that parts of what a "sim" would be considered standard had to be dropped. There is simply no point putting in hundreds of control features if you cant use them.
The fact that you have TrackIR or a 150 buck joystick is not even relevant.
Sound wise, you can actually turn off the radio if its bothering you. I quiet like it as it gives you an audio cue for when your close to an action point (ie landing/attacking). Otherwise the audio in this game is fantastic and I absolutely adore the roar of a Merlin engine at full chat in the game, is almost tone perfectly exact.
And frankly your post sounds simply like a PC gamers whinge at a console exclusive title.
