For 1946 & Oleg Fans

Agreed BOP is a kiddie game. I am not bothered that I bought it, but I AM PISSED that I SPENT $130 for an ACE EDGE WHICH IS USELESS WITH THIS GAME. Your better off using the game pad and calling this game for what it is...childsplay....after I finish the campaign its getting traded in for Call of Duty MW2 and Im going back to 1946, bah

You guys are a bunch of whiners...............Im glad you won't be playing this great game.

As Kryptonite says the original had only a small selection of planes in it, I've played the series right the way through from the first release to the definitive 1946 version. Anyone buying Birds of Prey and expecting IL-2 1946 was always going to be setting themselves up for dissapointment. This was never meant as a substitute for 1946 - its a console game! Games like Birds of Prey and RACE Pro are breaking new ground for console games, simulations in the own right and not the usual heavily simplified offerings normally seen on the console. They are not perfect but I'm happy to support them in the hope that more will come.

I never expected this to be a substitute for 1946.... HOWEVER, I did expect the joystick to work properly and provide an adequate level of control and immersion like 1946 does. You cannot make precise movements with the elevators and rudders when you are trying to line up precise shots because of the crappy deadzone that they did not remove for the flightsticks. That deadzone is not a problem when you are playing modern flying games and shooting missles, but when your flying a ww2 fighter plane and all you got are your guns it is very annoying to constantly bounce your sights above and below your target even when you are making the most minute of adjustments.

THIS IS MY CHIEF COMPLAINT!! I got burned payin $130 for an ace edge because ANTON SAID THAT IT IS THE BEST FOR THE SIMULATOR IMMERSION! Understand what I am sayin to you? The game is unplayable unless you use the gamepad and that is just an utter discrace.
