Would this be appropiate for Cliffs of Dover?

If so, I am buying.

Would be my first flight controller too.

But £50, How?

OH MY WORD - The PRO Version looks the ****.

Where is the X52 available for £50?! id love one at that price.

Three weeks to go...

I've recently upgraded to a Thrustmaster Warthog, and am selling off my X52 Pro (boxed). Give me a shout if anyone's interested, I think it'd work great with this game.

Is there any news on Steam availablility?

Dano · 8 Mar 2011 at 10:11

Well... it looks like Steam is required so we can only speculate that it'll be available to purchase on Steam at some point. To be honest, UBI is doing a bloody poor job of giving us any decent information.

I was really looking forward to this game ,been playing IL2 for years and love it

but I feel that stuff that hurts the ligit user more than the pirates shoud NOT be supported

I wont be getting it now either , will wait until it is patched and a few months from now it get in the bargin bin for 4.99

FrenchTart · 13 Mar 2011 at 01:46

Game looks good...and the DRM isn't *that* bad. May well get this myself - never played the original.

Zip · 13 Mar 2011 at 01:56

What do we need to play this with everything turned to max?

AHarvey · 13 Mar 2011 at 02:05

I haven't the hardware or setup to do this game justice, nor the time to master it

Colasanto · 13 Mar 2011 at 02:27

Must push to get my Saitek X52 Pro sorted!

deko · 13 Mar 2011 at 02:39

I really don't see the problem with that copy protection? You can install it on 3 computers straight away, then 1 more every month. It doesn't need an internet connection, apart from steam obviously to start with, and it doesn't install any software. What's the ploblem?

Not that big of a problem:

How many activations do I get?

You can indefinitely activate your copy of the game on the same PC. You start with three activations (so, three different PC hardware configurations) to begin with. After one month, one activation will be re-credited (up to a maximum of three available activations at any given time).

Do I have to be online to activate my game?

While the activation solution will initially attempt to activate your game online, you can elect to manually enter an activation code. You will need to enter the code that comes with your game into the activation wizard, you will then be given an activation code that you can enter manually. So, although you do not necessarily need to have your computer hooked up to the internet, you will need to go online to obtain a code before playing.

I'll table the usual question for this type of game: Do I need a joystick?!

If you want to be any good yes, if your a casual gamer, i guess keyboard and mouse works, must admit back when IL-2 was first released i played with keyboard and mouse for about 2 month before i bought my first stick.

And Xray i believe so.
