This sim looks great! You can even even use the mirror to see what's behind you, which isn't the case on IL2. Only question is: when will it be available??

[SeaVeeBoB2]

This sim has been out and available for several years. In fact the all-volunteer dev team (BDG) has just released the latest update version 2.10. The video here is based on vers 2.07 IIRC.  Go to "a2asimulations" website for info and/or to buy the game as a download.

how do you look around in the cockpit.

[SeaVeeBoB2]

You can look around om the cockpit using a device called TrackIR. It can also be used in many other flight sim games. Its a small clip mounted on a ball cap or visor and a small Infrared Camera on top of the PC monitor. Small movements of your head translate into large movements of the view point on the screen. Greatly increased the sense of realism in ANY flight game that supports Track IR.

From my understanding the British had Air and Sea superiority generally, therefore Germany could not attack Britain easily.

[SeaVeeBoB2]

Germany and England were roughly evenly matched in the air at that point in the war but the English had significant naval superiority. Without air superiority to offset that, the Germans could not invade. The Battle of Britain was Germany's effort to destroy the RAF in order to launch the invasion. When they were unsuccessful Hitler suspended indefinitely the invasion and then focused on Operation Barbarossa - the invasion of Russia the following summer.

Hahaha! The Spitfire was the most BEAUTIFUL AIR  CRAFT OF ALL TIME!!!!!!

AND THIS IS TRUE!!!! :d

The Canadians, Kiwis, Aussies & South Africans all played their part in BoB without a doubt, and it something that any educated British person is well aware of. From a personal point of view, I am fiercely proud of our association with all the aforementioned nations. Canada made a major contribution in WW2 :)

@SeaVeeBoB2 the only thing that made the German air campaign against us fail, was switching the bombing from our important southern RAF Airfields, to bombing major cities...from that point on, we could never truly have been threatened with an invasion.

@parigott4

In fact you do have a mirror in il2, it can be toggled on or off in the control menu.

It's called: toggle mirror/show mode.

[Aaidas2]

@parigott4 Ugh.. There are mirrors in il2 to...

[spaceman022]

i wish that game could go online

[DEP717]

Nice to hear this piece of music used. Simply classic, and it fits here really well.

[skele91]

you can use the mirror in IL2! :S

[Procopius1980]

I only watch this video for the instrumental version of this song. I used to be a WWII buff, so I'm sure I'd love the game, but I've got too much on my plate as is!

[C19owi94e]

No its mainly because it came out 3 years ago! IL2BoP is shit anyways. This is a simulator, not an arcade game like IL2. And don't say IL2 is a simulator as well just because its got a 'Simulation' Difficulty.

[matrox]

That looks nowhere as good as IL2Birds of Prey, is that because this in unfinished?
