I was really looking forward to the original until they said you can't land or take off in planes and that it will be total arcade, I thought number 2 was ment to have a few sim elements in it?
I don't know how much sim elements are in it but in the trailer the bad guys fly Su-47's (Prototype test-beds of which only two were made, the technology is being used in the new T-50) and according to ubisoft we will fly the best combat planes of the next few years such as the Su-37 Terminator.
That one is what stands out for me, the Su-37 never even existed! NATO saw an experimental Su-35 with thrust vectoring and assumed it was a new Su and as they always use odd numbers it had to be the 37 then they assigned it the NATO classification "Terminator". Only two "37"s were made and both have been returned to standard 35's, the technology is now used in the newer Su-35BM plane.
A lot of people complained about this and the 35BM not being in the original game (it wouldn't have been that hard, it just looks like a "37" with no canards as they are redundant with thrust vectoring) so the fact thieve ignored reality again and then stuck their ignorance in a press statement is the sinker for me as to how accurate anything in this game will be

I thought HAWX was an extremely average game. It seemed like they spent all their time with making it pretty and completely lacking in gameplay or game engine.
They need to make something really impressive - even if it's a little more like Ace Combat.
IMO of course

it was good in places but the 100000 missiles you could carry ruined it, also the lack of landing or takeoff's was stupid
the graphics looked ace until you got up close to the ground and then it was horrific
if it had been a modern version of f15-strike eagle or f117a it would have been perfect

Bit of a bump, but I still can't find another PC specific thread.
On Brazilian River, the console version has been getting rather average marks. I was thinking of getting this on the basis that any flight sim is better than no flight sim, but I can't get it out of my mind this is more COD with planes, than EF2000 or Tornado. Opinions, anyone?

Preffer the ace combat series pity it doesn't get ported to pc. Got the first 1 and it was ok nothing to shout about. In this 1 you can land, take off and re fuel in mid air. Read a review and there were major grioes with weapons load out.
