Stunning NEW pics
 
From Gamespot here

This is turning out to be the Gran Turismo of console flight sims (at least I hope and pray:grin:)

You can see a parachute under the 109 in the third pic. Nice find!:-P

You gotta be kidding me. I think I might need a new TV.

Yep you're right gonna need a new tv!

These are great. Shame that they got the spit and hurri's wrong though...I hope they include the correct mark 1's in a dowload add-on pack...;)

Technically both aren't correct for the Battle of Britain. The only cannon armed spit used were the 1B, but they didn't have 2 .303's in each wing-and the Hurricane in the game is the later mark 2B model with 12 .303's.
The correct Hurricane should be the mark 1 with 8 .303's and the correct spit should be the 1A with 8 .303's or the 1B with 2 cannons ;)

Now cmon, there were twenty four variants of the Spitfire alone. The differences between most of them were so minor as to be insignificant. If it wasn't a major change to the engine, armament or airframe, who cares, honestly?

At some point, you have to say "ok, that is a spitfire with X engine and X armament" rather than "Hey, they didn't have 2 .303s in 1941, that was only in 1942!"

It's basically the equivalent of complaining in a warfare game about a Panzer IV being Ausf G when in fact only Ausf As were available at that particular month or something. Meaningless quibbling, in short :D
