For that I should have added an "other..." option, but 10 is the maximum amount of options one can include in a poll.

By changing the controls I gather you mean remapping the controller buttons etc.?

The option for "german cockpits" shouldnt really be in the poll should it?

they are coming soon enough anyway, so we wil get them.

As far as I remember, Anton has stated that in the October 2009 DLC cockpits will probably only be included for "some" of the German fighter aircraft, not "all" of them! The "most important" I think he actually wrote if I remember correctly, specifically the Me109.

So that is why I included the option for "all" the German fighter cockpits in the poll, I specifically mean for "all" of them to be included in a DLC in that poll option. It would have been even better if I would have called the German cockpit poll option "axis" instead of German because there is an Italian fighter in BOP as well, it seems I made a slip of the keyboard there.

fair play.

Though chance are we wouldnt get cokcpit for ALL, if we did they may not be 100% accurate, but something to look at least, so its all good.

Would be nice to have a ME110 cockpit. I've quite enjoyed flying that crate.

You forgot the "moon on a stick" option, there.

[King Jareth]

can you crash into the stick on night missions?

I voted for "cockpits for all german planes". In fact this should be for "all planes", since some allied planes don't have a cockpit either. But this is not a priority.

In fact, i think we should set our expectancies to a lower level....

Don't forget Anton said in the "german cockpits" thread that they would work on some of the most important german cockpits (i.e Fw 190 and Bf109). We can still try and ask for more, but i doubt the devs will release DLC like cockpits at the same rate songs are released for "Guitar Hero" or "Lips".

Il2 BoP, alas, is not GTA IV, in terms of profitability. I think they will keep new campaigns and stuff like that for a future game, which i hope will exist.

So, my opinion is, DLC will be, at best (and i sure hope i'm wrong ): a few german cockpits, maybe 2 - 3 new planes, new mission pack.

Anyway, the game is so great, i'll survive if there is nothing of this!

Note that this is only my opinion, i MAY be a little pessimistic . But but by far i prefer that to disappoint!

I agree that almost any cockpit for an aircraft is better than the virtual one, especially when flying in simulation mode.

I really hope BOP sells well and is played a lot on-line as well. If so, we can expect more and better DLC I suspect.

I for one have no problem with more expensive DLC for a game that is so unique on a console as BOP is. "Decent-player-base X more-expensive-DLC" might be a viable alternative for BOP DLC as opposed to "Huge-player-base X low-price-DLC".

But this all depends on how many people a "decent" player base constitute.

Playing a good flight sim on a PC is really great, but enjoying a console flight sim in the comfort of your living room on a large HD screen is something else. So maybe there is a chance here to get a decent amount of the old school PC flight simmers over to the console.

Also, if BOP players can get most of their on-line friends to buy and play BOP, then we can expect more and better DLC I think.
