The flying was simish but the whole missile thing was a lot like ace combat and you spend a good part of the game in a like far out 3rd person view. Over all i didn't like the game but its more sim then ace combat i guess. IMo just stick with BOP its the best sim flight game out there atm for console

The closest flying game to SIM mode is without a doubt OVER-G, it is superb and offers pretty much everything you need.

To many G's you'll get black out/red out, put to much stress on the plane and you'll break it (blow the engine, lose 50% of the power), each plane is unique and handles in its own way. You have limited missiles/bombs that dont reapper to a set amount. You get a realistic amount, once they are gone thats it.... you need to land to get more. Fuel management to, afterburn the whole time and you'll lose fuel extremely quick.... depending on what you fly.

By far the closet thing to sim on the console. An amazing flying game. Would love a sequel.

I think that if you set OGF on "novice" (?) that you do get respawning missiles/bombs. Takes the fun away from it though. That just in the SP campaign though, the trainer, and both MP modes didn't allow that. You had to land to rearm/refuel/repair.

I had my fun in AC6, and a little in HAWX. One thing I'll say for OGF and AC6: they both had great game types. Even AC6 had a very good attack/defend game type. One team attacks ground targets while defenders fight them off, then you swap sides. I wish BOP had that. OGF Arena was pretty much perfection though. Even with just ONE map, there is a lot of gameplay in that one map and you had to be able to land if you didn't want to screw your team.

I think we need to set up a "360 Aviation Week" next week. OGF one night, BOP two nights later. With the party system now, we could even divide up into 2 teams of 4 instead of 4 teams of 2. I can get 1-2 more guys in on this if there's interest.
