Same problem, I would think. You would need to alter the P51D's data to use the Spit's Flight Model, which would again mean altering what's on the disc.

However, other games get round problems like this, so I think there is a system where the console has a small internal hard drive used for patches and console updates, and the operating system is coded so that if one version of a file exists on the DVD and there is a different version of this file that has been downloaded as a patch, the console recognises the patch version and ignores the file on the DVD.

This would allow a new Flight Model for the P51 to be included in a patch, allong with new FMs for any other aircraft that needed changes.

I understand and accept that many will be very disappointed with the current gameplay flaws and everyone is aware of these by now. Others appreciate that the game is 'acceptable as is' and that there is nothing better available for consloles despite these flaws. The game was designed for a console market and incorporated the Arcade Level in which all the planes were easy to fly and suited the gamepad. Sales for this game have been less than desirable and in hindsight it would have been better to aim it for sim enthusiasts who are stuck with consoles and seem to have the most gripes with it. First, bitching about the flaws is important in order to put pressure on the release of a patch. Continuing to play the game despite these flaws is also important to flag up that we want this game and that it is worth the investment to release any future patches. Both camps have a valuable role to play so bitch all you like but play the game too.......................we are all winners that way.

I can say without question The M00ps is in agreement on this, I fly with him every week. The items on his list are things we discuss regularly, but at the same time we are talking about it while we are flying and having a blast.

What makes me laugh are the folks that have said on more than one occasion that they are selling their disk, console, car, house, dog, wife or whatever else and are never posting again yet they continue to come on here and rant and rave. I can't understand why people get enjoyment out of telling us we are wrong, or calling people brown nosers, butt kissers, derrier sniffers and other creative names for loving this game. If they are fed up with it fine, understandable, but leave those of us who still enjoy it to play and discuss it in peace.

Sales must have been good enough for 505 to commission a sequel. So they at least made a profit.

It's the people that moan like spoilt children they are throwing away their copy (be it trade-in or taking a drill to it like that video), and/or that claim they are never buying another 505/Gaijin product again that the community doesn't need.

They hurt both this game, when people with sense come to the forums to see if the game has serious problems that render it unplayable before they buy it, and the prospect of future such games. Hence the volatile dichotomy in the community.

PS peeps will have thier patch soon and be mighty interesting to see how their threads evolve once its released with the option to use PC joysticks. Glad to hear a sequel is planned. I like this game so much might just have to buy a PS3........and no MS gold membership required for MP either so lets bitch about MS for a change, can we have PC joysticks MS otherwise I'm switching, your loss not mine? (there you go....a MS Bitch and not one aimed at 505 or the Devs......makes a change)........
