Release info

May be a bit premature, but any chance of letting us know which part of 2009 BOP will be coming? Also, will a dedicated website be going live soon?
Can't wait for this game.

Cheers

Just stay tuned.
Site will be soon.
Right now, we are preparing for massive focus-testing on both casual and hardcore players.
We'll be able to set a release date after we'll process all feedback.

Thanks for the reply Anton. It seems you are doing all the right things to make this game a success. I have been playing console flying games since PS1, but have never been satisfied with one single game that's ever been released. Don't have the time or money for PC flight sims, so news of BOP coming to consoles is a dream come true!

Keep us posted!

When you test the BETA can PS3 players test it? I have a PS3, but I hate the fact that COD5 is only for X-box and PC players.

I am really looking forward to this game, it's gonna be nice to see what you can do with a flight sim for consoles.

Incidentally, will you be able to wire a keypad to the PS3/X-box so that you can have multiple functions?

Cheers,
Philip

Beta for console games couldn't be tested publically - it isn't allowed by console manufacturers. Only public demo version could - but they aren't Betas

Actually I can't provide list of supported peripherial right now. Stay tuned

Hi Anton
Couple more questions if you don't mind
Will it be possible to play full simulation mode on a standard 360 controller or will a peripheral be necessary? And will freeview be an option in cockpit view?

Thanks again for your replies.

No, peripherial is not nesessary. It is not as easy to play, as flightstick, but, of course, 360 controllers has more than enough analogue and digital buttons and axis to control plane.
Freeview available, but you can only look around, not move your head anyplace.

Thanks Anton, by freeview I meant is it possible to look around using the right thumbstick. I read on a preview that the right thumbstick was mapped to throttle, so was just wondering how freeview would be possible if that was the case

Press RS and you can look around, moving it.
