Don't you feel ripped off as a console gamer?

A straight port would have EVERYTHING this game has now. It would have arcade - for the noobs, you can turn stalls off. It would have simulator settings for people who prefer realistic flying and gunnery. A hardcore-lock-your-butt-in-the-cockpit for the serious players. Everything was an option on the PC version.

Yea, the game is still fun, but it hasn't gotten me to stop playing the PC version - depsite the better visuals.

Consoles need to mature as their demographic matures. I think the console players that are buying BOP can handle some extra options/sophistication.

I also agree that :
- A complete 1946 port would make BoP a much more complete game even if it didn't had any graphic enhancements
- Console players can handle as much options/sophistication as PC players

However :
- Its not easy to port existing software to a new plaform unless you started development with mutiple platforms in mind
- There is no XBOX support for PC flightsticks / Track IR and only MS can change that

I wish that BOB SOW was released for the XBOX 360 , we would get the next generation combat flightsim without the need for additional PC upgrades.
