Overall I'm very impressed. Visually it is absolutely stunning - the landscape and the sheer number of buildings is amazing, the detail is hard to believe, it is pretty much everything I wanted it to be, and what I suspected.
After playing through the tutorials I was able to unock the other difficulty modes which made shooting Heinkels a tiny bit more difficult (with 20mm cannons )
Controlling the aircraft and the views I found very frustrating, after playing the demo the first thing I definately need to get in preparation for the whole game is a decent joystick. The left stick control is very sensitive and extremely hard to correctly apply the right pressure for a smooth turn, particularly in simulation mode, the right stick controls rudder and throttle, however pressing the right stick down controls the view which I found extremely fiddly and un-natural, maintaining pressure on the right stick to look around is uncomfortable at best and I'm not happy with it at all.
I noticed there was no damage/bullet striking effects when I fired at the ground as well.
Couldn't find an airstrip to practice landing but I suspect I'm in for a very frustrating time trying to do it with the Xbox controller!
