Quote:Ah ? Well, opinions differ. IL-2 and Pacific Fighters are definitely simulators, and one of the best ones. Of course, I talk about a versions up-to-date with the patches.
Of course there were some mistakes, but that doens't make them simple games, like Ace Combat or Crismon skies...
A 'sim' with 350-400 MPH Zero's that doesn't lose aireron control and/or shed their wings is a GAME,
A 'sim' where US .50's hit like 5MMs, and Japanese 7.62's hit like 40MMs is a GAME.
A 'sim' where a Spit 25 LB can climb at full throttle, at 80 mph, and 2K FPM
indefinately is a GAME.
A 'sim' where you make a headon pass in a P-38 against an La 7 and the La does a fast 180 and runs you down in 30 seconds is a GAME.
A 'sim' where the flight models are 'tweeked' for better online play is a GAME.
A 'sim' where the P-39D and N are "Reasonably maneuverable at lower altitudes", and the Q (which was the Russian export model) is 'One of the best mass-produced front-line fighters of the Second World war with high flight performance" a GAME!
Now, as to whether or not the flight engine is superior to what MS uses is up for debate...but the FM's of the aircraft in the game (and yes, I'm speaking of the 4.04m update) are the products of a Russian's Vodka soaked dreams and not based on reality.
