There is something wrong with my UK Import Version.
I put the language to german and whenever the speaker is supposed to say "Hitler" the word is cut out.
This has not been censored bei the german USK (like PEGI) so the publishers cut the word "Hitler" out.
But why the Hell?
That is not prohibited here in germany, i mean it sounds totaly messed up whenever the speaker says something.
The Germans fighting under the Dictator *beep* bla bla bla *beep*
WTF?

Your English is fine, why do you switch to German language? I couldn't stand the German voice acting with the strong british accent.

Ah, I see - that must be due to your system language set to German.

Back on the origional xbox I can remeber a few games (rainbowsix 3 being one) that could detect if you had a headset plugged in and put certain game sound through the headset earphone like communitation from your team or HQ.
This really added to the immersion factor for me and it'd be great having the radio chatter from your wing or mission updates coming through an earphone instead of the tv speakers.

Its not the most important thing that needs updating by any stretch of the imagination but this is a sggestions thread so I thought I'd post it.

It's been said before, but since I think it is a change thats REALLY needs to be implemented I add my voice to the choir:

The controller layout needs to be changed or even better - add an option that allows the gamer to re-map the controller. The best flight sim controller layout so far is the one in Over G Fighters for Xbox 360. And yes, I know that Over G is a jetfighter game, but I can't see why it wouldn't work for IL-2 as well. For those of you who never played it, here is the layout:

[RT] and [LT] controls the rudder
[RB] and [LB] controls the throttle (on ground [LB] = wheel brake)
(LS) is the actual "flight stick)
(RS) is used to look around
"Clicking" (RS) changes view
A fires selected weapon
Y changes weapon

The button B wouldn't apply here since it controls chaff/flares which means it could still be used toggle the map on/off in IL-2. The X button could also be used for something else in IL-2 since it switches between missiles and gun in Over G. Rockets maybe?

D-Pad down = Toggles gear up/down
D-Pad up = Toggles air brakes
D-Pad left = is a special function i Over G, depending on aircraft. In IL-2 it could be used to control flaps maybe?
D-Pad right = cycle targets

START button = Pause/menu
BACK button opens up wingman command - cycle options with [LT] and [RT].

The above layout gives you total control of the aircraft and allows you to look in any direction at the same time as you are doing something else, i.e. adjusting rudder or throttle. In my opinion, the current controller layout in this game takes away some of the realism, which is a pity - IL-2 is an awesome flight sim. Something we aren't spoiled with as console gamers!

Thanx for listening!

Hi

I have something like that selecting the second pad configuration available (aviator).

I just played the demo and i noticed that when i landed on a airstrip i tried to taxi to turn the plane arround, the plane was skidding in a very odd way? I used the throttle to turn arround and the whole plane was moving sideways. Is this fixed in the retail version?

-I think it will be interresting if it is possible to choose "cockpit only" for MP. I noticed that those who take the virtual cokpit had an advantage over those who take normal cockpit in simulation mode. I suggest that you add in the options of the MP "normal cockpit mandatory" or "not required" either in arcade, realistic or simulation modes.
-I also suggest that you put the choice in simulation mode to display the username with the number of KM above the enemy aircraft (it is sometimes difficult to locate the aircraft Enemies) Of course this option may be removed to keep a very realistic part.
