Great Flight Simulation, Heavy Aircraft Bias

This simulator is perhaps one of the most realistic simulators I have experienced on any given PC. I find that the sense of movement goes along way to imparting a sense of actually flying to the virtual pilot. In addition the rendering of the aircraft is beautiful.
The one glaring flaw is an apparent bias in favor of all things Russian, specifically the aircraft. Not only are their more Soviet aircraft, but more irritating is the performance edge they all seem to have against the best U.S. fighters. I have over 330 hours in a NA P-51D and I can assure the reader that this edge is purely imagined. Of course if one looks at the IL-2 game developers it becomes apparent that the vast majority are themselves Russians, and thus perhaps this bias is somewhat understandable, however nauseating at times. Since when does a Yak-3 out dive a Mustang? Luckily I have not had an elevator depart the airframe in a dive approaching 500 mph (in the real P-51), yet this has happened in IL-2.
Have fun, but take the aircraft performance with a grain of salt.

This sim is cool, but one thing bother me we got 256mb or 128mb video card why can't they made a good air combat game with those good card it would look nice if they do, just look at ps2 air combat game the graphics look nice and almost real looking, check out ace combat 5 for ps2 look nice. Japanese peeps are good at making game look almost like a good movie.

I was skeptical at first when deciding to purchase IL2 forgotten Battles for my PC. However now I agree that this game far exceeds my expectations! Compared to my other sims by Microsoft, IL2 is far more superior in grafics, realism and overall enjoyment. Am looking foward to playing next version of this game or something as comparable. I will continue to search Amazon for new games of this genre. Amazon's handling of my purchase was quite "nice".

This is a good game but the graphics are looking dated,even when setings on their highest. I really purchased this as an add-on to Pacific Fighters,which is also produced by Ubisoft.The level of realisim and flight models are supurb but the control setup and user interface would be very difficult for the novice,desktop flyer. Overall a good sim.

A very well done sim

At the bottom of page 2 of Pacific Fighter's User Manual appears the following:
"NOTICE: This game contains technology intended to prevent copying that may conflict with some CD-RW, DVD-RW, and virtual drives."

BELIEVE IT!!!

I'm running a Pent IV with a 3.00GHz processor (XP) and DVD/CD writer combo and have spent days trying to load the Gold Pack and Pacific Fighters. After loading, my odds of getting the game to actually come up are about 1 in 10 and it takes a minimum of ten minutes with each try. I wasted my time and money. I can't even play it as a stand-alone game. I'll find some other software to use with my CH Fighter Stick or it will be a waste as well.

Amazing Flight-Game

Awesome game with sick graphics and detailed, good-looking planes. Flight dynamics are out of this world, and campaign mode is awesome. Now you could get into the cockpit of jet-powered planes, something that was unavailable in Il-2 Sturmovik. To sum it all up, Amazing flight game!!

The premier combat flight-sim

Simply stated, this is the premeir WW2 combat flight-sim available on the market today.

The number and types of aircraft available guarantee a proper fit for any gamer.

The quality of the flight models, cockpits, maps, and graphics are unmatched.
