Jane's Advanced Strike Fighters

Anyone know anything about this new flight game coming out this week? I'm tempted to rent it just because having the name "Jane's" in the title gives it some credibility, but if it's known to be as bad as some other recent games then I won't bother.

Still no reviews, but I did see this on the Co-Optimus web page:

"Sadly for fans of the series, it looks like the game might have gone the more arcade route instead of the hardcore flight simulator path."

Watched two videos and neither one of them showed a cockpit view.

All I want is decent flight physics and 3 axis controls, which oughta be simple enough. I wonder why so few console games have this?

Ignore the Jane's name in the title, this isn't a sim or anything close to one. Looking at the youtube videos the graphics are worse than Ace Combat 5 on the PS2 and as trk29 says, there doesn't seem to be any cockpits. Its not even cheap. Hmmm I wonder what people are going to spend their money on, JASF or Battlefield 3?

The Hurricane in Birds of steel hates you now you've said that

Shame we have to fly the POS Super Hornet. Horrible plane. I will enjoy the Su35 and the two tank busters though.

Why so much hate for the FA-18 Pope? I got a buddy who flies 'em for the USMC and he loves it

Didn't even know the A-10 was flyable. Thought it was there for the cinematic experience in the beginning of the online modes.
