Consoles are not great platforms for simulations but this shows that they are pretty darn good and just what could be done. If only the input options were not so limited. Having to click-down and HOLD the right stick to 'mouse look' while trying to maintain control is ludicrous (PS3 version). Why not make this toggle, or just a control option to have it as a toggle? Or make commands available if you have a USB keyboard or use the official snap-on keypad? Gamepads are terrible but it gives me an excuse for being so bad at it

Devs have said that it runs at 30fps. It also uses the flight model and AI from the pc version, so it should feel familiar. The Aviator flight stick is cheap and adds a lot to the game, if it can fit in with where you game. It can also be used on pc for those that don't already have something better on there.

I got the Saitek AV8R-02 for my birthday last month. It works great with the game. I hate using a gamepad with any flying game. The stick is worth the price.

I have it too. I found a site that details how to mod it and move all those buttons on the back of the base up by the throttle and even how to remap some of them up to the stick by switching wires so I'm considering getting out my drill and soldering iron and going at the stick.
I think the link is in my favorites at home but if not I can find again and post it if anyone's interested.

Just played the demo on PS3 - its awesome, but anything above "Arcade" setting definitely needs flight stick. With the gamepad is a pain in the a**.

I don't know if I should grab the Saitek aviator, or somehow get my hands on a Hori flight stick. Does anyone have any opinions on the matter?

The biggest problem I see with the game in simulation mode is that I have a really hard time picking out targets on the ground. Agreed. I can get the flight down, but losing a pursuer is still hard for me. I love the flight--and adjusting the elevator sensitivity helped me too. Seeing the targets is just plain difficult, especially if you don't look when they happen to be firing. Very satisfying when you do hit them though. I suspect Realistic will be the favored mode due to that. RE: Hori You'll pay around $200 for that. Just not worth it, it's not like you get programmable controls like a good stick on the pc. The Aviator (360/PS3) covers the bases with the buttons and the price is right. It's not perfect, but good enough. I think the Hori uses a rocker for rudder control, which it seems that people don't care for as much as a twist stick.

Thanks Kryp, I just like the idea of the throttle HOTAS setup. I think I will go with the Aviator though. Seems to make more sense.

The AV8R-02 seems to be the best bet for a WW2 game IMO... now if we had a real flight sim like Lock On, then a full blown HOTAS would be nice... I'm sure we can get something going with BoP... we'll work on it together see how the MP works, friendly dogfights etc etc... if Sim mode is to much, then maybe realism more...casual (for me) is out of the Q. reminds me of that other WW2 game on the Xbox.

They finally confirmed the US date is now the 8th. Gamestop isn't full of it after all. LOL Don't know why other sources still show the 15th.
