IL2...or CFS?
« on: October 10, 2009, 01:29:35 AM »
I've come by some extra cash as of late< and i cant decide which to buy, IL2 Sturmovik, or Microsoft Combat Flight Sim.

If anyone can recomend one of these, id forever be indebted to you.

Thanks to all  :aok

Yea, im leaning towards IL2 at the moment...they both have their flaws but if they make "IL2 Birds of Prey" for PC ima be all over that..... :P

Quite the contrary. The first time you try to play a flightsim with the PS or Xbox controllers you'll regret the day you were born.

See the outside footage of the game, how the plane being tracked constantly bobs and weaves? It's because the player is yanking the lame console controller to left and right, then compensating by releasing the controller. No fluid movement like with a proper joystick.

And one must remember that in game things look awfully different. Just compare AH advertisement to true in-game view inside cockpit.

Il-2 and play with a joystick. CFS looks allright but the FM is bad. IL-2 is much closer to AH  :devil

Did anybody see any actual ACM in the clip?

Don't buy Il-2 on steam.  People who have done that have had issues getting hyperlobby to recognize their .exe when they want to fly online.  Buy it from Direct2Drive ($10).

The version to get is Il-2 1946.  It may or may not already be patched to 4.09, but that's not hard to if it's still 4.08.

You have got to be kidding me.  I wasted lots of valuable ATP responding to this post.

Yup, i think ima go with IL2 1946, also, if they make a JOYSTICK for IL2 Birds of Prey, THEN it would have much better gameplay, i think they were

pretty stupid to make a flight sim without the proper controls, but the damage models+graphics are the best out there at the moment.  :cry

If you watch the trailer i posted, it is ALL gameplay footage. No fancy tricks.

Flight Sim and Console System go together like oil and water.

With one exception...

Heh, I remember that. You could bypass almost the entire level by climbing to maximum altitude.
