Entered a multiplayer match and got disconnect midway then when I went into another match my target lock button had reset. Also it was a bit disapointing that all the arcade matches were stacked with i-153s! So much for pc players being more serious!!

When it was working ok it was pretty good gaming. Lots of disconnects and menu systems for selecting aircraft in lobby is terrible.
Some new graphical touches added to maps. I spotted and army camp near dover and Dover harbour has a load of submerged sunken freighters.
Some odd choices though. In team battle gunfire appears to be team coloured. Bit off putting seeing blue tracers!
In short it's good but I prefer ps3. Aside from the actual game it's the players
on ps3 that make the game.

cheers for that mate, I've just come back from lunch and was seriously considering buying it whilst in the metro centre but think I'll keep my pennies based on your feedback.... Looks like I'll get Red Dead Redemption instead now.

yeah i got it a few weeks ago and pretty much agree with all of what dk said for sure the graphics are cleaner and some of the maps are stunning in places it is definatly more of a simulation than bop and takes quite along time to get use as their are more things you have to control while flying ie supercharger settings, fuel mixture and multiple trim settings which can seem quite anal at first but just takes time to get used to. the things i like about it are you have more options when setting up a room like only having cockpit view for example and another thing i like is what ever map you choose people can only fly planesthat are associated with that map. the things dont like are: gameplay seems a bit to slow compared to real life and configuring the controlls is a bitch. but all in all it is a good game that is worth buying and taking time with

Did you install all the patches? Maybe that is the reason for disconnects. About the pad, I never had problems with it.
