And when in 3rd person view, alot of things going on at the same time, i notice a frame rate drop can get a lil choppy, perhaps some better optimizing if its possible. Would turning music off free up a lil more power from the system? I suppose its at the limits of the console.

Otherwise cool game. I had to call around to find it and the gamestop that had it only had one copy *If anyone whos been to Gamestop knows, they will open one copy for display purposes, and sell that copy to you as new. Perhaps a more attention grabbing box art would have got more people interested in it. I know alot of people talk about those "other" console flight games cuz they got prettier boxart.
if you play in sim mode at all, add AR_Kozz

To find a copy of IL-2 I had to go to 3 stores including Blockbuster, none of them had it, then I went to Game Crazy (Hollywood video) and they had one copy, the dude working there had never heard of it.

It's all the fault of graphics and shooters. It was the same when I was a kid playing games on Commodore 64, all anyone talks about is graphics, graphics, graphics. People will buy all kinds of garbage as long as it has Graphics. Like Killzone 2, it's just a shooter but it has GRAPHICS! It's the 2,000th sequel to Quake with new maps, weapons and graphics.

So is Call of Doo-doo, I'll probably be called a heretic for saying so. Hey, wait, Heretic was another one - a mod of Doom with a new theme, maps, missions and graphics.

This may have been said before but either way I think it is a needed thing in the game and something that should be brought to the attention of the developers. I am talking about the cockpit option. I got the game recently and was rather enjoying the game. I swore to play the game on simulation as I love realistic and simulation games (yes that means the only time I have played the game on any other difficulty is during training, I also have turned off the HUD completely and I have gotten used to using the active dials.). Anyway, I was annoyed and astonished to find that some plains don't have a cockpit. I know that at the start there were only supposed to be 12 planes that could be flyable and I understand but please in the next DLC or update please have a cockpit in EVERY plane. It would make everyone a lot happier.

Also, me being British, would love to see more maps of Britain, Germany or any other county as a matter of fact! Along with that a free-flight mode so I could fly with little worry of anyone attacking me till my hearts content.

Whether this would be DLC or a title update, paid or free I don't care. I just want my cockpits and my maps.

Also, as an after thought, I would really love the option to turn off the plane representing your position on the map. Would make navigating quite a fun thing. Actually, anything that makes the game more realistic!

Love the game,
SimonSays132.

I will be satisfied with this game if we get a few more patches to improve the control options, maybe a way to turn down or off some of the target markers, and turn off the annoying "pull up" message that flashes on the screen when your flying level. I wouldnt mind affordable download content if its content that is actually worth buying, say a optional additional planes content and skins would be worth it.

I could do without the lil cockpit pilot animations, most of the time the plane is incorrect anyways, best to just leave it out. Might free up some console horsepower by making some of these things a lil simpler.

Maybe some way to help the netcode, I joined a multiplayer game last night that was full 16 players, and it was lag city, though I understand that this could be due to the host if they have a bad connection.

We just need more people playing this online!!

Default About groundtarget markers...

I would first like to say that I really love this game. Thank u for every bit of it.

I often fly bombersupport in strikegames in a fighterplane, and a lot of the fights and action takes place over enemytargets. My first aim is of course enemy fighters and not the groundtargets, but the "automatic targetswitch" or whatever it is, keeps switching between groundtargets instead of enemy fighters. So do the "manual switching" I do myself on my flightstick. So I wonder... Is it possible for u guys to kind of "switch off" the ground targets for the fighterpilots? (I know this will be a problem for the fighters that carries bombs, but they may be less annoyed. Maybe... I don't know).
Now it's like I have to press switch target buttons abot 10-fifteen times before I "hit" the nearest fighter, and again is able to follow with the followcamera-view.
(I hope u understand what i am writing here. My english writing could be better, I know...)
