I almost hate to admit it, but other than getting used to the controls.. I have tried the demo on the 360 and I liked it.

Realistic is a bit touchy for takeoff, and will spin easy if not careful, but is on my to get list.

Oh how a fair amount of people must hate seeing you walk in a room... get a grip. It is a game. You stick you your packaged pc and the kids on the Xbox will not bother you as the 2 shall never meet online.

I have done the PC thing, and I enjoyed it. I am going to do the xbox thing, and enjoy it too. And now that I know it bothers you.. I will enlist all the "know it all kids" to come here and PM you their reviews and ideas on how to play it better. ;)

Have a nice day.

I don't have any game consoles. Someone gave me one for christmans once back in the eighties, and I gave it to the eight-year-old son of a friend of mine, isn't that who they belong with?

I dont' play any video games on the computer. I just always did flight sims because I was interested in flying. I tried a few first-person shooter computer games, but they are all exactly the same with just different or better graphics are they not? In other words, boring.

What I did do though, for four hours last night, was take a cover off the transmission on my wife's car, brazed up a hole that got punched in it, using my oxy/ acetylene torches, then I put it back on and test drove it to make sure it didn't leak.

Why the console hate? It's just a very specialised computer after all. I do think most games on them suck, but I think most games for pc suck as well. At least lately. What I would not like about IL-2 or any other flight sim on a console are the controls, the gamepads don't cut it in my opinion. I also don't like the fact you can't use mods, even the pre-hack approved skins, missions and campaigns that I still enjoy with Il-2 46. Leaving aside the more sophisticated mods we had/have for games like Silent Hunter, and MSFS.

That said there are some fun console games out there so as the cliche goes "to each his own".

I'm not anti consoles, my kids have a few and for certain games they are better ( GTA, FIFA, sports games etc ) but I just can't use the controller at all. My son owns me at CoD 4 on his PS3, but when we did a LAN game with him on my gaming PC and me on the wife's laptop the roles were totally reversed ( smacked him down bigtime :lol: ). So for me it is all about the controller.

If a decently immersive flight sim came out on a console, and I could get a flight stick and keyboard or panel, I might play it but I like my PC gaming as I can also alt tab out of a game when dead, do a mail or two, check a forum etc then jump back to the game.

I'm still open minded about Birds of Prey, do they have a PS3 demo version at all ?
