Bobby, I had to unhook my Xbox at the weekend but I will rig it back up tomorrow and try catch you online for a few flights. I hasn't seen any forum regulars on XBL when I have been on. Must be wrong time of day

I noticed.. And the 'helicopters have a wider turning circle than fixed wing' statement is also a bit of a give away.

That kind of puts everything in the review into question. Can we really fly the Hind, Cobra etc. or was he just flying a different Apache and mixed up the names.

It's cheaper because it's part of the Activision Minneapolis series of budget titles which have a tendency to reflect their cheapness in game quality. BoP was by no means a budget title.

trk29, is it really necessary to join these threads? Not exactly a thriving forum is it? The destructoid article had heaps of news and could have warranted its own thread. Just saying..

I joined them here into one thread to keep everything about this game in one thread. I just don't want everyone creating a new thread about this game everytime news comes out about it. So yes it was necessary.

Doing this will makes things easier when someone wants to find information out about it.

I put the link you provided into the first post of this thread.

Or if you like I could just move every thread to "other topics" like I am supposed to do since it doesn't pertain to BOP. Just saying...

My first guess would be since it is Gaijin that is making the game I would say they will give us flight stick support. But since we know nothing about the game and there is no website or dedicated forum its hard to say for sure. I am curious to know if it runs off of the same engine as BOP and maybe they have put some of the features in that we asked for in BOP (crossing fingers).

What is weird is none of that has been done yet and the game is coming out in under two months.

This is offtopic but I was looking around and noticed 1C published a game called "Whirlwind of Vietnam" Developer is G5 Software and there isn't a forum for this game but just thought I would let you guys know this incase you wanted to try a helicopter sim out that I didn't know was out there.

Whirlwind of Vietnam


This is a few years old. PC only
