IL2 or Birds Of Steel?
Discussion
Having got a tad bored of CFS2 on pc I want a another proper, authentic and realistic ww2 flying sim, but this time I want it on PS3.
I cant decide though - the much proven, liked, well recieved but getting-on-a-bit IL2-Birds of Prey, or do I go out on a limb for the slightly better graphics of the new but unproven Birds of Steel?

There's a demo out on the Xbox at the moment - I whacked it up to simulator difficulty straight away and was pleasantly surprised to be unable to land with the wind behind me.davepoth said:

According to this, there should be a PS3 demo:

but whilst the other 2 mentioned demos are on the store, the Birds of Steel one isnt?
Why would they take it down that soon?

Definate purchase for me, I've played the demo to death and I'm amazed how well this works, the flight model feels excellent and sheer amount there is to do in the finished game with the mission editor and multiplayer will make it a keeper.
I need to find a solution to panning around the cockpit whilst using the flight controls but other than that this is clearly a labour of love that is the closest you can get to IL2 1946 on a console.

I've just downloaded and had a go on the demo for Birds of Steel and I'm surprised by how good it is!.
Considering I don't really play aircraft games and don't really know much about them it's had me hooked! The only problem is the fact that my aeroplane seems to fall out of the sky randomly when I set it on simulation.
I need more practice

That is a problem - the sim controls seem to be designed for a proper yoke, and so when you've got all the travel in 5mm on the joypad it's difficult to modulate the input. Taking off from the carrier in the Spitfire is fun though - shame you only have a few minutes to sightsee around (a really quite accurate) Malta.
