The video is not of aircraft in the BOB II WOV it is standalone planes for use in the MSFT Flight Simulator.

Sorry, but that horse (FSX,FS2004) is dead as far as many of us are concerned.

Has anyone played both games? I've yet to play the recent FSX by MS. I was wondering how the starup procedure differs from BoB2? I'd imagine it's more complex?
BoB2 does a good job, though, in my opinion. It's a great sim to fly. It will be interesting to see how SoW will fare against it, especially in terms of the amount of planes able to fly at one time. I always liked this about BoB2.

MSFT FSX or FS2004 is a flight simulator, not a combat flight simulator.

The enjoyment from a flight simulator is in all the detailed flying requirements.

If you are a real world pilot you can actually do check flights with the FSX and almost verbatim fly a hop in the sim as you would in real life. You can setup flight plans in FSX that you can fly in real life aircraft. You can use actual real world navigation, charts, procedures,etc.

I do IL2 air combat for pleasure not to get all involved in the details of flying.

If you have plans to be a real world pilot the FSX or FS2004 would not be a waste of time. There is so much to learn, especially flying instruments.

I know, I wasn't suggesting that the flight-series are for combat And I completely agree here. I think that BoB2 offers a nice mix between great combat, and great functionability and realism, especially in-terms of start-up-procedure. Judging by Oleg's response, the start-up procedure in SoW will probably be as detailed as BoB2, which for me is detailed enough
