for those with a 360 or a PS3... Birds of Steel has been released... and is excellent! and only 40 bucks!
More info and talk in the console forum and the screenshot forum...
Gaijin made it BTW. That sounds interesting, looking forward to the review.

Looking forward to your review Magnum.
The feedback so far for BoS is just phenomenal. If it wasn't for a cash-flow hiccup I'd have a copy of it myself.

And of course BoS is the Sim-Lite version to War Thunder so it will almost be like a little preview of what we can expect on PC. I think I'll check this out on my ps3 for sure.

They are 2 diff titles. Birds of steel is an arcade game with planes only, while War thunder is a war simulator where people will be able to use more than just planes in the future. While they likely share the same engine, the main premise is different, hence the different name and that's why we are not getting a console part on PC but a totaly different game aimed at different crowd (sim people)

[Edit: This was directed at a post several steps above.]
I've had Birds of Steel for a week. It is NOT an arcade game. The flight dynamics are quite shiphisticated and the visuals are stunning. I've never seen so much crap happening at once in a flight sim all the while running smoothly. So back to the "not arcade" comment. No the game doesn't have a clickable cockpit but neither does Rise of Flight and plenty other other titles that are allowed to keep their "sim" status simply because they have the good fortune to reside on a PC. I am happily retiring my TrackIR for a month or two while I try to gain some bit of skill at this game.

I'm impressed with the custom control option. Looks like WoP's screen. Wish I had that many buttons to assign. Is there a way to use the 360 chatpad with them? Each one I hit just put a ? up on the board.
Maybe it's just been a long time since I played BOP/WOP, but flight seems a lot more touchy than before. Dropped sensitivity on elevators and rudder, but still seems different. Haven't gotten to try many planes yet though, and haven't used the flight stick either.

I'm sure they share similar graphics engines, plane models, cockpits, even maps. Just look at the screenshots they look similar. I know War Thunder is going to be way more in depth and have much more going for it. I'm very excited to fly it.

Hello guys,,, I have been away during the release, I got home today and got my copy and popped it into the old Xbox,, Bad news , Since the demo has been released it has some how messed up the Online MP for people When they fist put the game in,, THIS APPEARS TO BE ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO GOT IT AFTER the release of the Demo. So, When I started the game today for the first time, It automatically dropped me from Xboxlive, and I can't reconnect while the game is running. I tried everything I could think of and No luck. I'm only hoping that a patch can be done quickly but This is Microsoft we are talking about here,, with their Certification process required for any patch ! Those of you that got the game on release day and started to play it before the demo's release, appear to be in the clear ? I think ? Anyhow,, I just wanted people to know this because IF you go and get it right now, its looking like you will only be able to play it Offline until a patch is released or the problem is somehow Solved so you can play online.. Here is the Thread on the Gaijin forums about the problem.. http://forum.gaijinent.com/index.php?/topic/6145-xbox-live-disconnected-when-launching-the-game/Desode

Is there a joy stick controller (like I have for the PC) that works for XBOX 360? If so, I assume that you can set controls to such a stick.

Ok Anton (Gaijin CEO) Contacted MS and the issue I had mentioned is now fixed ! I was able to get online last night, and all is well. I have to say for $40 there is NO BETTER flight game in the History of Console gaming. I think it's a must purchase for anyone that loves flying.
See you all in the Xbox Skys ! Looking forward to reading Mag's review.

I wish that War Thunder had a single player component, I'd so get it.
Online only? No thanks. Battlefield cured me of that.
