What happened?

I'm trying to spread the word through the PC players but quite a few of these guys don't respect the console games.

Think that's one of the problems: the best side of IL2 is it's sim side, PC veterans think it's not good enough, because it's on a console, and console newbies think it's too hard.

That's just it; you're right. I am one such SIM lover that wanted BoP to be so much more but unfortunately it falls way too short. We'll always share differing views & opinions re: BoP & you know how passionate I have been, regarding my disappointments for this title as I have been on the back of some very cheap & sarcastic digs from your very self (Ted Bundy comparison being the latest I recall).

The only reasons I stay around the forums though is the respect & admiration in the knowledge & passion alot of these forum guys possess in the subject of WWII aviation.

The upcoming patch & DLC Cockpits (assuming the latter still goes ahead) should do for BoP what the new 4.09m & 1.2 AAA patch is currently doing for the PC guys.

BTW Ancient; I bought 2 copies of this title, LOL ,

Yeah, let's keep it at passionate .
I can imagine why people would still play on the PC. I'm sometimes thinking of going back myself, but I'll just wait for the patch and see what it does.

P.S. lol on the copies

I don't think this game will ever be popular online, the online is more likely to die than to pick up. It reminds me of a racing 'sim' called 'Race Pro', the online was pretty much dead right from the off and the game bugs and lack of fixes just sealed it's fate. Shame really as it is a damn good racer when you get a decent group of people playing. It just goes to prove that the majority of console gamers are all about the quick fix games which are more arcade in nature. Any decent 'sim' type game has very few people playing online.

I think the real question should be "what didn't happen?'
