Simply amazing Anton. Game of the century..

Anton, does this latest trailer represent the latest build for BoP ? Also, is there any plans to talk to natural point, microsoft or other company to develop a "Track IR 6DOF" system for this game on the XBOX 360? It would be a crime if it did not have this feature. Same for the PC version ? Do the cockpits use clickable controls/switches ( ala FSX ) or do they use an assigned key on the joypad or keyboard like Oleg's IL2 ?

No, not the latest.
Game is not even in Beta stage, and is constantly evolving.

For Xbox360, each peripherial device need to has MS security cheap - i.e. be approved and manufacture by/with MS.
TrackIR is not approved, and hardly will be.

Same for the PC version ?

There is no PC version.

Anton, is the current trailers of BoP being shown using an xbox 360 system? If not, what PC specs do you use to play the game with on development PCs ?

The game is designed for consoles, so we do not support all features on PC.
Typical development PC is something like GF8800+, Core2Duo+.
It allows game to work.
If you want to play HD(1080p), it needs to be GF9800/ATI4870.

But once again, the game doesn't support all features on PC, the graphics engine is developed for Xbox360/PS3.

I am guessing how large maps will they be on Birds of Prey?. 20x20km, 50x50km 100x100km maybe?.

100x100km average, no less than 65kmx65km each.

If not track ir, what about freetrack. You could integrate this and purchasers could provide a single red LED for simple 2 degree of freedom cockpit panning. It would be a feature the massmarket has never had before just like the wii captured their attention. Just imagine all the tv reports of 'the amazing virtual reality flight simulator that teaches terrorists to fly on the nintendo360'
