What happened?

IMHO...The flight sim community is among the smallest in the gaming world in the first place.
I'm trying to spread the word through the PC players but quite a few of these guys don't respect the console games.

Flashpoint came out and so this game is splitting time with it. By no means am I done with IL2. Not planning on buying more games until about Feb since these 2 and BSP cover just about all I need. LOL

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.

I'll be keeping this game thats a certaintly.



Will be here often to. I have alot of the fliers from ehre on my 360 friends list, and even though i will be playing other games, if anyone hits me up for a flight then i will come on over if im not to busy. I enjoy this game alot so wont be gonig anywhere soon.

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?'

I'm still here, its just I spend most of my time playing BOp or codW@W. By the way who here is getting mw2, or are any of you who play W@W still going to stick to that game.

Unfortunatly when MW2 comes out along with all the other christmas rush games, I fully expect it to be imposible to find players on BoP, Whether you host or not. BoP witnessed a huge drop in online players already and that was because of only 1 game release (Op. Flashpoint 2)

Hopefully a hardcore group of sim players will remain on this forum and we will have to organise times for games though the forum.
