Yes i know we have game forums



Has anyone played this latest sim from MS ?

Was thinking about giving it a go and im after any comments on this game like, GFX, Game play, etc etc



Ta doods and doodets !

well...
i dont care for planes, and my mate has this so i just took a go on the helicopters.
now being a man of style, i was hoping for controlls similar to DC, but i found it very arcady, even in the hardest mode. what is annoying is that you turn the rudder on teh chopper, it rotates round to the desired position, you let the rudder go back to neutral and you go back to where you started!!!
how shite.
any its so easy to just roll, and keep rolling at high speed which leaves me with the impression that:
A. the physics are a bit naff
B. they didnt bother with teh helicopter
C. yeah.

didnt try and planes other than the wright brothers plane.

Get IL2 Sturmovik : Forgotten Battles instead. Realistic flight sim, with guns.

Yeh i do fancy that but im not sure. I have played many games like IL2 but none like MS 2004

Anyways i will be having a go tonight so it better be good for the cash.

I have it

You can get a lot of add-on planes from www.flightsim.com.

And how you can say that the helicopters in flight sim is 'arcady' compared to Desert Combat I don't know. I cant think of anything less like a heli-like than the ones in DC (apart from the ones in EoD).
