It was a disappointing game...

I wish it was like the old Janes.

I loved the F/A 18 Janes, that was my fave one, loved landing and taking off aircraft carriers in multiplayer missions.

I was afraid of this when I didn't see a single "in cockpit" screenshot and saw it was released for PC and consoles.

I picked up Birds of Steel yesterday made by Gajin and its only $40.

I was expecting a acrade flight sim seeing that it was on console, while it does have a arcade mode, it is also a full blown flight sim.

It has a full control setup(if you so desire to use it), that lets you use xbox compatible joysticks,hotas setups, or controller and usb keyboard if you have one. Or any combination.

You can control everything from prop pitch to fuel mix settings to trim and tab settings.

Oh and the cockpits have working gauges too, lots of little attention to details.

Landing a WWII naval fighter on a WWII carrier is hard even in arcade mode.

I prefer realistic mode, it allows tail spins, flat spins, pilot black outs etc....

I am not ready for simulation mode yet, while I can fly, I cant fly into combat that well with out putting my plane into a flat spin or something.

Plus it has a Gran Turismo type system for unlocking new planes and upgrading them. It has a 100+ unlockable aircraft.

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

I need to get a new stick/throttle setup. I've had this MS sidewinder force feedback for AGES.

yeah I've put my hands on an X-52 before and I remember my hands being slightly (not enough to outright make me not buy it) too large for it.

I like the feel of my sidewinder but the built in throttle is both cheap and stupid. It should have been a separate unit like Saitek did.


Also, Im looking for a sim thats going to have multi monitor support. I'd love to have a 3 monitor rig with Main screen and a left/right monitor displaying view

you know the joystick part has a adjustable thing that allows to people with Paul Bunyon sized hands like you to use it.

I didnt see that when I originally looked at it in the store, that might change things for me then.

I'll take another look at it then, thanks for the heads up.

As for PC/Console, I'd never play a flight sim on anything other than a PC.
