This is a good example of the elitism I was talking about. I prefer full real servers - way to make someone feel welcome!

I prefer a good & realistic game. It's not elitism, it's just a different genere.
If everything had to please the masses we'd all be playing black ops and listening to lady gaga in no time. No thanks...

That's exactly it though - not everything has to please the masses. But something does. These guys need an accurate WW2 flight sim that is a commercial success to expand, not just an accurate WW2 flight sim.

For what result? How many people would really like to fly a PC flight sim with a mouse?

Luthier specifically talks about making it easier to play with a keyboard in the vid (if the translation is correct...) The object seems to be to get people interested enough to go the next step. I bet a lot, but obviously not enough from Luthier's comment, did this with IL-2 initially.

By keypads he meant at unrealistic settings you won't need so many levers and sliders to control the engine, or at least that's how I interpreted it!

Must admit it would be good if he commented on this. The context at 10.30 seems to be about newbs but I don't know for sure. Wish I spoke Russian, could have the game already!

I'm a bit surprised at the hostile reaction to this (wait, no I'm not)

Seems like a valid question to me.
Games developers have realised the best way to keep people playing is to keep giving out unlocks, just look at CoDuty. I've prestiged 7 times and I hate myself for it! For what? new interesting ways to kill stuff and a nice badge...

Problem with unlocks in a Historically accurate sim is that as soon as you apply any new wepon it'll mess the accuracy up.

The only real way I could see this working would be to have (like CoDuty) customisable player cards and ranking (for online) or even a space on your aircraft for unlockable nose art. Nothing too outlandish.


The guy in the video wants a b-17 for killing 20 Spitfires.. I wouldn't be surprised if he's never even played a flight sim before. He dosn't get that the rewards from a flight sim are more cerebral..

Sign of the times.

+1 this game is not aimed at a massive audience any attempt to do so would harm the product in the eyes of the simmers that have been hoping for a new SIM, you will need a joystick to have a go at this game...

No, you need a joystick to be good at this game. You shouldn't need a joystick to 'have a go'. Take it up with Luthier. The simmers will buy it anyway as long as the sim realism is there as an option.
