Yeah that's why I never preorder anything. I've been burned before and I swear it'll never happen again. God do I hate being such a pessimist about things like this but $60 is a lot of money nowadays, at least for me.

True, pre-ordering a game is just setting yourself up to be disappointed. I normally wait until the review embargo is over and check out the forums to see what the people that have bought it say before making my final decision. The advantage of this is games normally drop £5-£10 after the first week of being on sale anyway.

Thankfully after playing the demo I knew I would not be buying until they patch the control sticks so I can swap them AND put the stall wind buffeting noise back in anyway.

Smoke me a kipper.......

I totally agree. Learned my lesson with Race Pro.

I'll be back for breakfast...

Huh? Race Pro is incredible. The only thing wrong with that game is having *me* behind the wheel. I get tired of games that are all eye candy and no substance. IL2 looks like it'll cover both bases very well IMO.

Sorry guys, there's nothing that's going to keep me from buying this game, much less some translated website's comments. Half the time they can't get the number of MP players right or even a launch date that's already been announced. I put very little stock in those places, their facts are too often rushed and not verified.

I read french. My take on the PREview

Campaign = Allied only
MP = ALL planes but, NO cockpit view on german planes

The guy played MP on Arcade only (could not do in realistic/sim) ... He played also the Bf-109 E3 in MP so i guess he tried to get cockpit and found it was not there (last part is speculating on what he tried/tested)

So, my interpretation is indeed NO cockpit view for german planes

Mind you it says PREview ... so i don't know what build he was playing!? (could the NO cockpit view be info he got from 505 ... or just his impression from a preview build???)

There is still hope but not much imo (like <2%)

So if he chose simulation then he might have gotten a cockpit?

NO! ... he played on ARCADE, and my guess is that he tried the different views and found no cockpit view (only 3rd and virtual)

Anyway, only hope is that it is a preview build (but seriously, i don't think the cockpit views of german planes will be in the final)

What I was saying is if he had chosen SIMULATION versus ARCADE maybe he would have had a cockpit seat.

There is nothing that will refrain me from buying it either... that's too big a chance for consoles to let it go away.

BUT, I was just asking a question and until now nobody seem to be able to answer it.
Concerning the "website comment translation", it is perfectly right. It does say that there won't be any cockpit view for german aircraft... I know it because I am french so I speak french .
Also, as I said, this website is supposed to be reliable because that's the biggest video game dealer website here in France and it is supposed to be well informed.

And finally, I REALLY REALLY HOPE THAT ALL THIS IS JUST A MISTAKE AND THAT WE ALL BE ABLE TO FLY A GERMAN AIRCRAFT USING THE COCKPIT VIEW.
