silk stockings?

I'm currently finalizing a deal for a blitzingly fast new computer and a tir5 setup, in exchange for flying online with the sig "Coke-Zero" half the week and "Pizza Hut" for the rest. I'll keep you posted on how it goes!

i only bring this up because i think i saw battlefield 3 are saying they will use in game advertising.

it's obviously easier in a game set in a modern era and in a game where you will be walking around a street setting and walking past billboards.

i would think it would be a nice little earner for a game boasting millions of players.

Apparently Supermarine are getting a lot of product placement. They must have paid Oleg "top dollar". Further down the line, perhaps some American aerospace corporations might want to get in on the act...

I dont think the Il-2 either is bad advertise for, say, Rolls Royce, Mitsubishi, Boeing, BMW, or even N-G!

Have a think, what other brands have been around for ages

Mhm, expanding that idea to the other side, there are surely some german companies willing to pay money to be not advertised ingame - for exactly the same reason

Dreadful Idea!

Are we not bombarded with enough advertising in our lives as it is?
You do realise that advertising works on having you subconciously make a decision to buy a brand, this is done by constantly bombarding your brain with xxxx that appeals to the diffrent sides of human nature to make you buy.
Personally I'd like the free will to buy because its want I want rather than having seen a product so much my brain leaps to that conclusion.

Adverts in IL2 no thanks

Since the flame effects seem pretty nice in IL-2:CoD I think they should advertise freetrack & trackir on the same spot. Maybe even throw a "valve" logo somewhere.
