For your oneliner to be replied to though; i will indeed take onboard your advice. I build Westland Helicopters & if that goes wrong I will steer away from the reporting industry!

Sounds good Raw.
Ok, I usually keep my mouth shut (as you can tell from my post count), but now I feel compelled to say something. To the OP and Ace Rimmer, you guys had your intelligence insulted by this title; we get it, but please don’t characterize everyone on this board as “the console crowd”. I spend quite a lot of time flying Falcon 4.0AF on the PC, would you consider that a proper sim? It is quite possible to enjoy both. There are a lot of flight sim fans and enthusiasts of aviation in general around here. I’ve learned a lot of history from several knowledgeable posters on this board and enjoyed reading several lively discussions of the intricacies of military aviation past and present. I’m not exactly sure what you two expected from BoP. I got exactly what I expected, a console game that takes flying a helluvalot more seriously than anything else that’s been available for me to play on my couch in front of my LCD TV after a long day (sometimes I just don’t feel like dragging out my HOTAS and sitting stiff in front of my PC for hours). The environments are beautiful, the planes look fantastic, and not since Over G has there been a console game with better, more diverse flight models. Additionally, there are only so many controls you can map to a controller/flight stick, so a great job by the Devs modeling all that they did IMHO. Furthermore I’m not entirely sure what the OP’s reason was in posting this novel here, other than to come off as sort of elitist, too smart for a dumbed down PC port. Using the words “ripped off” in the post title wasn’t the best way to start. Perhaps “disappointed” would have been a better word. Just as it’s not nice for console players to be broad stroked as too attention deprived to grasp a proper flight sim, it’s not nice for PC simulation players to be colored as too intelligent and haughty to be bothered by something that is very enjoyable but just not quite as labor intensive as something on the PC. You managed to do both in one post, and honestly sir, it makes no difference where you work. Your employment doesn't determine who you are, and bears no relevance to the conversation, when you come in the kitchen rattling the pots and pans you're going to get a reaction. Then again that was your goal I assume. Do I feel disappointed? Absolutely not! Love the game  Rant over, carry on.

I agree with the OP but I knew the score before I bought my 360 so it's all good. I don't feel let down with BOP though, in fact it's a lot better than I was expecting it to be. Sure it's nowhere near as good as IL2 on the PC but it's still very good none the less. I still prefer gaming on the PC over the console though despite being confined to a 19" monitor
I only bought my 360 so I could play online with my real world friends who aren't into PC gaming. The kids love it too

Since then a lot of flightsim entusiasts bought (myself included) : - IL2 Sturmovik (Full Game) - IL2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles (Full Game) - IL2 Sturmovik Aces Expansion Pack (Expansion) - IL2 Sturmovik Pacific Fighter (Full Game) These where the foundations that allowed you to buy IL2 1946 a couple of years later for only £25. It's a bit unfair to compare both games at this stage.
