Having to look at the instrument panel and actually follow a radial is unheard of in a console game, could be another first for BoP. They could even have you hold in the pattern so that damaged aircraft could land, give some kind of points for actually staying in the pattern instead of flying off to the coast to look for baby seals to club. It would be a very interesting mission if you had to ride a radial to pick up the bombers that you are going to escort instead of instantly starting near them. Everybody says they want realism, at least until they find out that not all of flying is terribly exciting and a lot of it is routine.

Well with the night missions maybe we will get a suprise and have you follow a radial or at LEAST a working compass like in PC. Im not sure if we have one, i havent looked in the demo for the compass. I would have thought that BOP would have used Keyboards and have extensive controls. (like that game Phantasy Star, unless im wrong that keyboards are not compatable)
