Otherwise, what's so bad about a sim-lite?

The game is running on a modified IL2 engine with some extra highlights and new smoketrails..the rest is the same ol' IL2 stuff you see.

I dont mind a sim-lite, but I cant stand the controls(gamepads) on a Console platform.

Well, that's upto 1C. They can include Keyboard, Mouse & Joystick support, well, for the PS3 anyway.

I doubt they will but it's upto them.

Truth be told, the game will be dev'd on a 360 then ported (craply) to the other formats.

Damn, maybe I should've held off from buying the Logitech G25 for my PS3, and put the cash into a good stick.

Oh, that's a close one.

IL2 or GT5 :hmm: Both!

I'll put money on Birds of Prey not having Keyboard/Joystick support, I just can't see the studio spending the money & time to do it.

It's just a pity that Polyphony took out "true" G25 support for GT5. I guess it was to make way for the new Driving Force GT wheel.

Birds of Prey In-game footage

I must say, hence it carries the name IL2, this aint IL2 at all not Even Close except from the aircraft models

FM - I expected a bit arcadish...but this bad? the aircraft doesnt seems to be effected by anything.
DM - from what I seen its using some sort of LIVES system, get killed and respawn directly mid-air.
Realism - No take offs, no landings 3th person Crossair...need to say more?

yes I know you cant expect much of a sim on an console but comon this bad? no way I've seen better stuff on consoles that contain flying parts.

this game will be very nice for the kids - teenagers thought, it probally contain a storyline as a campaign for them to drool on and probally they will have many hours dogfighting eachother with friends. <---- and thats what I think this game is aimed for.

I see it as a sign of how close to SOW's release we might be. For 1 C to give over it's flagship of flight sims to be downgraded by another company for console play might be compared to the US selling off the P-51 after the Saber jet was fielded.
Out with the old and in with the new.
