Hey for IL2 sturmovik to work, u need rudder pedals, a trackIR, a throttle and stick. Ive got an awesome flight sim setup for playing it, but since multiplayer has no time compression, I found there are tons of lulls in the fighting before you get to any action.
Ive got an awesome flight sim setup, $1500 in flight sim hardware and a 1 of 2 in the world flight console.
On the contrary I think being able to custome PC games and mod them is a great trait that PC games have that xbox games do not. I like being able to install new skins and stuff on my PC games, cant really do it on xbox, I like having real cars when I play GT4.
