It looks pretty good based on the reviews. I was wondering if anyone is playing this one?

I haven't played this game but I have played IL2: Sturmovik which is created by the same guys and uses the same engine.

This game is aimed at hardcore flightsim fans but beginners can enjoy this game also. Flight models are realistic, the graphics especially the cockpits are beautiful, the AI is very good and will counter your every move. The damage model is about as realistic as they come. If you get your wing shot up, you'll lose aileron and flap control. Your pilot can also become wounded and in some cases eventually die while in flight if you do not hurry and get back to your airbase.

I've played a lot of air combat sims but have found none as good or realistic as this one.

Thanks Sand. Do you know if the multiplayer is good or is there a pretty tep learning curve here.

Thanks for the link Bob. Way to buggy to buy right now. After SW Battlefront, no more impulse buys.
