As far as IL2 is concerned, I've been flying that since the original demo days and continue to fly it in some form or another about 10 hours a week. It is hands-down the best, most extensive and complete WWII sim ever developed and I will "go to war" so to speak for IL2 as well...but this is a different program despite the similarities in name...be sure.

I'm just not as skeptical, perhaps out of my own personal longing for a decent flight simulation experience on the xbox. I too have played Il-2 since the beginning (the box is still on my book shelf), I've had various MS Flight Simulators and all the multitude of ad-ons one must acquire to make it even more ' as real as it gets', and then the day came when I threw my hands in the air and refused to upgrade my old PC in order to get decent FPS.
With this new version I expect the game to be 'dumbed down' to an extent but I'm willing to forgo that in exchange for a game half as good as the original.
