Topic: IL2: Forgotten Battles

I am suddenly in the mood to play a WWII flight simulator and I found that this one had great freedback. I just can't find any to buy hmm

It says the game was made in 2003 so I'm surpised that I can't find any. Do they make this game anymore?

Thanks

Secret Weapons over Normandy is quite good (made by Lucasarts) but is rather arcadey. It's not a flight simulator, but more of a flight game (its quite a lot like Rogue Squadron)

Re: IL2: Forgotten Battles

I remember IL2. It had a lot of good feedback. Just make sure you know how to fly a plane wink

Re: IL2: Forgotten Battles

Thanks for the replys. Woody the one that you pointed out seems to be the only one on sale, but for nearly $80.00, its just a little too expensive for a video game, expecially one that is not that recent.

So I'll try out the demo for Secret Weapons and hope for the best.

Ok, just remembered that Blazing Angels is out for PC. IGN says its ok but flawed; after reading the review it sounds like a much better version of Secret Weapons (which also isn't great). I thought it was going to be a PS3-only game, but seems not.

The graphics look amazing though, comapred to Secret's not amazing ones. Plus, you can use real bombers (unlike Secret, which only has fighter/bombers)

Re: IL2: Forgotten Battles

Downloaded the IL2 demo, and it's not too bad. A bit arcade-ish compared to Combat Flight Simulator 3, but not bad at all.

I recently bought the downright awesome Falcon 4.0, though (my first impressions can be found here), so I'm busy. Not to mention that the heavily computerized F-16 is ever so infinitely easier to fly than the World War II fighters. It's practically impossible to get it to stall, and taking off is a dream.
