Don't you feel ripped off as a console gamer?

I've just read the first few posts on this thread and have a question:

I've only received this game through the post today so don't know much about it. Is the original post saying that there is no way of taking off on a runway in this game then? Each mission starts mid-air?

I'm pretty sure you can land though right? I thought I saw a video of this the other day?

I bought the Xbox360 as I had heard that IL2 was to be launched for the consoles and, just as you have stated, fed up with the constant upgrades needed for PC based SIM titles. IL2 BOP for Consoles is a step in the right direction but I have to symapthise with the developers in the decisions that they have had to make in getting a product suitable for a market dominated by Arcade players and Plastic Guitar hero's. BOP is half way between being a SIm and an Arcade game. If you are serious about SIMs for consoles then buy the product and leave the feedback to improve the next release. MS and Sony also have to do their part and allow developers to fully exploit the potential of their Consoles. Low market share = no product update/improvements..........

Other than the few missions in the 1st Campaign (BoB) whereby you are given the option to fly back & land, the entire game including the half-hearted training mode, the entire rest of the games' campaign, & about 7/8th's of the training missions will have you start & finish in the air.

Take Off? I think that pops up once or twice thru all modes.

"What about Capture the Airfield online"?

Online is a lonely, lonely place to be as you will find out. Unless you're prepared to turn this experience into a pure arcade fest aka Blazing Angels & play online in arcade mode, you will hardly stand a chance of playing a decent online experience & sadly; the online is terribly flawed at this time.

Well, even you have to admit even arcade mode on BoP is ten times better than Blazing Angels... (you don't see people flying into cliffs and bouncing back off alive in BoP do you?)
