I swear most of us on here could do a better job at marketing this game. I mean GEEZ !! atleast make sure things work and are ready to go when you do something like this. They released a trailer with a web site name thats not there ! LOL Its really kind of funny !
I think I'm going to try to get a job in video game marketing !

Yeah....as much as i was excited about the vid and the publicity and everything...

this is a mistake, the site is still vapour and all the people who just heard about IL-2 for the first time and are basically cold-calling, as opposed to our band of diehards, are going to be like WTF.


How did they not co-ordinate this?

...Two steps back.

Its like once the excitement of the new trailer faded off , then I started to get pissed that they screwed the pooch ! I wish I was God so I could just make a Big hand appear in the air and start slapping the crap out of the people responsible for the this !!
And I wish I could video the whole thing and post it on the web !

look at the bright side. A new video, even if its a short one, its still new. And a website the will probably be up soon. Which, in my bet won't be as good as we think, but hey, a website...:)

How can you tell?

I watched the video.Graphically the game looks awesome. The best part at 1:17.

right click and look at website info

Yeah, easily one of the most beautiful console games I've seen.

The more a watch the video the more I get amazed by its graphics. I can´t believe that it is in game.

By the way... I have reinstalled the original Il2 1946 on my old PIV and had the temptation of flying it online in hyperlobby by using the xbox 360 gamepad. Trust me, for sure the gamepad is not as accurate as a good hotas can become, but with my gamepad I did air kills(online) on high realism settings.
The only problem I found was that for dogfighting you have to have a trackir to have full control of the head movement around the cockpit(situational awareness)and also for a faster response in that kind of combats. For the head movement control with the gamepad I used the right stick and in most of the dogfights I could track the enemy with no too much effort.
I say that because it´s the first time that I tried to use a gamepad on the original Il2 and the experience was less painful than I would have thought even doing difficult maneuvers.

That about sums it up.:)
