Battle of Brittain was a thrill. Some of the Stalingrad stuff is good too. I want to delve into the DLC stuff more but I am still stuck in the drudgery of using multiplayer to build XP. Man that gets old!
I'm reviving an old thread just to dissipate some of the enthusiasm I still have for this game. I have not played anything else on my Xbox (except a little Minecraft) since Birds of Steel released. I don't know why I get such a big kick out of it. Maybe my brain is rebelling against the long periods of planning and execution needed to be successful with DCS or Rise of Flight. Maybe I just like flying in my living room. But what I really think it is is the simple joy of flying with a standard controller and no TrackIR. I read that and it sounds like I'm a plant from Gaijin, the game's creator. Nope, just a fan who feels he has gotten more than his money's worth.
