Great IL2 review

Talk about good reviews.. here's one: http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/reviews/0,10867,2829773,00.html I love this part: This sense for keeping a vehicle on the edge of control is one of the hardest things to model in a computer game. IL-2 is probably the best attempt at doing this since Papyrus' Grand Prix Legends. Yup, I'm one of those GPL fanatics.. and IL2 is the first sim that astonishes me just as much as GPL did back then :) Andre

Don't apologize, Andre! A lot of us GPLers are also flite-sim fans (as a matter of fact, I'm amazed at all the familiar names over on g.f.s.). And, yes, I have IL-2 and am struggling with it...in the same "good" way I did at first with GPL! --Steve "Andre Warringa" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Instead of veering off course and hitting the rail, you now have a Nazi bandit shooting up your tail.

I like that the reviewer mentions physics and GPL in the review :) I've tried the demo and it looks amazing on my P3 500 w/ GF2.
