This thing is just a stunning looking arcade. Like most console stuff.
Wrong. "Birds of Prey includes a simulation mode that is no different than the most strict simulation mode of the original PC title."

There's also similar statements on other sites, IGN for one.

Anyways, I liked the game on PC, and I'm looking forward to the 360 version!

What is expected release date?

IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey should be landing on your Xbox 360 in early 2009.

(edit I'll answer my own question)

Yup, IL2 engine, and the game was not developed by Oleg. I'm hoping Oleg did get a good fee for his engine though.

It'd be pretty danged awesome if that developer would release new patches or something to polish up our IL2 to those visual standards since, well, they have the source code now!

Well, I don't think they would do that for free. They're another company, even if it's possible to do that -I still doubt that is merely a refurbished Il-2 engine- they're not going to freely release such an "overhaul" for an old game just to keep us happy.

If they do, they should be paid for it. And it would be fantastic, I'd buy it. But, on the other side... I hope not. Because that would mean 1C is not going to release SoW anytime soon, since they would be selling competing products in a very limited niche market.

That BoP may be for PC also disturbs me quite a bit... even if it's not SoW/Maddox related. Because, why should 1C release a BoB sim product if they really think SoW is waiting in line for them to distribute?
