Those screenshots are awesome... it would be proper shame if those pits weren't released as DLC for consoles. I'd happily pay £10 for those (Would have been nice to have them on the disk, but never mind)

So if the pits are built, and working in game for WoP, what possible reasons would there be to not make them console DLC? Maybe lack of support from the publisher, or something like that?

I think the problem is the cockpits are too large a file to include in a patch, and the devs are waiting for a piece of DLC to be completed so the cockpits can be bundled with that.

Course, you could split the cockpits up into several patches, but after all the fuss with the one patch so far I don't think anyone wants that.

Maybe they will come with a Pacific theatre DLC pack, with the Zero from the WoP trailer and some other new American and Japanese planes too. Would be great if we could have the P38 and P40 at last.

I would gladly pay another $10 for these babies

Because the PC version is IL-2 STURMOVIK. This is & will always be IL-2 GOODLOOKING WANNABE!!!

Come on I've been ripped a new ***hole in the past for comparing the 2 & I now agree with those defenders that IL-2 BOP is definately not reminiscant to STURMOVIK in any way barr the time period & name on the box. I'm just trying to enjoy this BOP now for what it is; a good looking arcade console game with some sim elements. Had I read somewhere in the long build up to release, that there would infact be no visual replays, no mission editor, no bomber cockpits, no german cockpits, no proper take off & landing, I would've most likely have still bought it but wouldn't have expected too much from it but it carried the fabled IL-2 name & it promised so much for all types of players. If anything tho, it's made me appreciate the likes of 1946 & Rise of Flight & even 360's OGF even more. Some Good comes out of everything!

I think its more likely that the cockpits will be the next DLC, rather than the being bundled with something else. It seems pretty likely that we'll end up paying for the pits. Maybe we'll get the 109 for free, as insinuated by the dev's, but the others we will have to pay for. I'm find with this, as long as its reasonably priced.

Would love to see some pacific themed DLC too. What extra planes are included with WoP that weren't in BoP?
