I'm not against glamour, I just think it cheapens and makes the finished product look TACKY.

So all of you that are talking PC bullshit wind your little red necks in and go and ask mommies permission to look at the so called "glamour" photographs.

Leave the Flight Sims to adults.


LAST WORD ON THIS REALLY TACKY PRODUCTION.
Look buddy, the freaking calendar is "inspired" in the artwork and aviation philosophy of that WWII time. If you can not understand that, and you stick to the ultra-politically-correct-nonsense of today, then why do you play a game based on a WAR in which millions of people died????

What kind of hypocrit complains about not-even-naked ladies and has fun playing how to kill people??

Believe me, until not much long ago (and in a lot of countries you can find it still today), the walls of fighter squadrons rooms have been covered with pictures of ladies with far less clothes than the ones on this "tacky" calendar.

I think you mix up tacky with the term politically correct. Nevertheless he is entitled to his own opinion. I understand his point of view about the tackiness-level. But i agree with the others that it's just part of a bygone era. However i don't agree with you.

Now let's continue too drool and kwool over this amazing game which wil be relinguished by its creators in a matter of hours.

Exactly about what you don´t agree with me?
Of course everybody is entitled to have and support his/her (to be politically correct) own opinion.
And maybe I understood it wrong, but what 123-wulf-123 was saying is that to offer that calendar with pinup girls was not appropriate for a 21st century product.
And that is where my point about hypocresy fits right in. Is it more appropiate to play a game in which you kill people?
Take note that i am merely playing devils advocate here, since I have already bought and I will joyfully play (I hope) COD.
COD is an adult product, and if I can take as an adult to play to shoot down airplanes, bomb the sh** out of cities, be a nazi... then I can also take as an adult some "vintage-looking WWII-fashion pinup calendar".
BIG POINT IS that the calendar is not about the ladies, IT IS ABOUT THE 40´S STYLE.

I could get to agree (actually I don´t) that the products (calendar and sim) don´t fit together, but INAPROPRIATE??? Come on...
