And in online it would be nice that you wouldn't have to create and invite whole game and party back everytime after match ends.

lol Blackdeath - overall IL-2 is easily the best aviation simulator on consoles, nothing else comes close ;). All good suggestions, although my understanding is the reason you can't use shoot people in 'chutes is to keep the rating where it is.

LUURRVVE the Mustang!! Just keeping it in the air is heaps of fun. Aile/elev sensitivity set to 10/15-seems to put it right on the limit, where it belongs;0) Makes me really want the P-47.
Suggestions for a sequel? Nothing new here, just seconding others;

#1 fully enabled crashes-like original IL-2 [PilotWings 64-the only other truely GREAT flight game I've played on console...was all about making your own fun; which usually involved landing in odd places, or flying over/under things really low and fast {then landing on them, and taking off again;0}]
#2; custom controls. I love the '360 controls; but no point scaring away others, eh?
#3; replys.
#4; ability to fly any plane in any mission-including axis.
#5; more effective FLAK.
#6; aviator contols...with ability to set throttle [o.k; under 'custom.']
#7; ALL planes unlockable in single-player.
...that'll do for now;0)

...#8; keep on Jeremy Soule. Nine times out of ten, I turn off the crappy game music-as it'll never be as good as what I listen to by choice [or just silence], and cheapens the experiance. The music for this game however is SO good; I honestly assumed it was by some long dead Russian composer...and was watching the official trailers-just to hear the music!! It can stay;0)
#9; bail-outs that take time/where you can see your avatar struggle...possibly get caught up....even without blood, this MAY mean the game needs a higher rating though.....

Hi,

Just got this game (PS3) and I'm utterly blown away. Long time PC player of IL-2 series, right up to 1946 with community mods. This however, is a different beast entirely. Visually and audibly stunning. A joy to play and watch and when coupled with the T-Flight Hotas X, it is a dream to play on a 40" 1080p Sammy :grin:

Without reading all 44 pages of submissions, I would like to mention one or two that might have already been suggested.

V-Sync. As I said, visually stunning, but the tearing on cockpit and landscape panning is just awful. Please, please force v-sync on.

Replays. The 'Awesome Moments Thread' shows just how much a feature like this would improve the whole experience. I have had a couple of epic dogfights online recently that I just wish I could watch again from multiple viewpoints. Perhaps user-enabled auto track recording of each sortie, from spawn to crash/land/destroyed? File size should not really be an issue. PS3's of course allow you to use your own HDD. I have a 250GB in mine. Many PS3 owners use their own higher capacity drives.

Photo-mode. Take a screen-shot (jpg/bmp) during game play or replay (if it gets added).

Controller Deadzone. Needs to be adjustable on joysticks. On the T-Flight Hotas X, it's bearable but needs to be smaller for more accurate targeting. I have read that the same stick has a smaller deadzone when connected to a PC so it sounds like it could be an in-game issue?

T-Flight Hatswitch views. Currently 4 point digital. Needs to be 8 way with down+left=look over left shoulder, down+right=look over right shoulder for checking six. Down as-is for instruments(?).

For me these would be the icing, with future expandability with DLC an added bonus.

Regards
Dex

*EDIT* Just read that V-Sync on PS3 is fixed in upcoming patch. Sweet.
Also PC flightstick support with custom layout. I wonder if my Saitek Evo Force will work? Maybe, but I doubt it will register FFB...
I'd forgotten about the PS3 built in feature to capture screenshots so scratch that request. Press PS3 home button, go to photo icon on XMB and capture screenshot, easy.

wingman control on sim
 

when playing the singleplayer, the red targeting icon is often greyed (as you don't have the targeting box like in arcade and realistic), having the greyed out icon give the command "attack all enemy aircraft" or something like that would be great.

Being able to select 0 enemy's in training so you can actually do a free flight.
Ps3 users need to be able to reserve spots in multilplayer.

well i dont want downing a chute to count as a kill more kinda like a deathcam

Don't think it's gonna happen.

If they won't put blood in the game I doubt they will let you gun down a floating body.

nice post...when you have a moment put it here
