Also missing the B-17G in the list, but after watching the presentation of 14 min from http://gamingeverything.com/8725/bir...es-of-footage/, I am calm. Will be, as the P-38

I can´t wait for the other lists

Don't know if it's been asked yet but is there any word of a "Wings of Steel" version for PC? I occasionally play Wings of Prey and enjoy it when I'm not in a hardcore Cliffs of Dover type of a mood.

But I must say.. the US plane set looks awesome. Can't wait to see all the others!

Oh wow! Looks to be quite promising. Will definitely keep an eye open for this. Hopefully there is some sort of a single player element though. At least a "training" area like in WoP, similar to the QMB in 1946. Practice makes perfect after all....

Great find, thanks

I hope the highlighted (red) is avaliable on the xbox 360!! PS3 players having the ability to take pics in game was something we the 360 players missed out on.

Its looking like a very promising game i must admit.

Can't wait to jump into it.

Hi McQ59,

Great stuff indeed! This one in particular (at least for me):
“Ability to create, edit and share videos of game play”.
I guess that you are aware that this feature does exist in “APACHE: AIR ASSAULT” game and I like it a lot. It helped me improve my “flying” this incredibly difficult machine i.e. helicopter. If one thinks flying airplanes in sim or realistic mode is difficult, well, think again. Anyway, I think we'll have plenty of stuff to look forward, and undoubtedly there will be many pleasant surprises, perhaps some unpleasant ones too. After all you can't please everybody. Another feature of the game that would be desirable, and is present in the game that's been “heavily” criticized (rightfully so) by some distinguished members of this forum, is the host's ability to set which planes will be used in the game.

Side note to Olife, if you tell me that you are this skillful in making cheese and wine than you are the perfect human being! Awesome work man! Thanks a lot for all those nice posters and calendars. Be careful though, you may put calendar makers out of business

Best regards,

PSN: PlaviKit

You'd have thought due to the fact it's the prominent aircraft on the box it would have been confirmed!!!!
I've had it on pre-order for a couple of months with amazon and have had numerous notification of so-called release date. About the only thing that's concrete from these is that is due next year!!
