Add to that(no demo that is) --Low Price and moving the release date up as well no answers to a few questions I asked is suggesting a repeat of the first game for PC users. I really am leary of purchase. Maybe a few answers and a demo could alleviate the concerns (for me anyway).
P.S. It doesn't bode well when a company combines PC and console discussion into the same section/threads instead of separating them (imho).
Bump this one back to the top.

Yep, after reading the problems PC people are experiencing, the lack of concern ,info,support and demo, there is no longer any doubt that best strategy is to pass on this one. Let me see, Graw, Graw II, SH IV, and now,BA2 --I guess UBI doesn't care that I didn't buy them. UBI has become the company to avoid when it comes to PC gaming. (imho)
You know, I LOVE been treated like a second-class gamer in the eyes of UBISOFT just because I choose to use a PC rather than the darling (Red-Ring-Of-Death prone) XBOX 360 console. Especially after I plunk down $40 of my hard-earned money for a DEFECTIVE GAME like BA2 for PC. The PC platform was; and still is, the home of the Flight Sim genre. That's because there isn't a universally-adopted flight control system available for any console to date. God forbid I try to use my rather expensive and quite capable Saitek X52 FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM with a FLIGHT SIMULATION GAME! What must I have been thinking? I knew I should have stayed with the professional-quality games like IL-2 and FSX. How can UBISOFT make such a work of art like IL-2, and then turn around and take a giant steaming dump on the flight sim community with Blazing Angels 1 & 2? I have been on the phone with UBISOFT Tech Support (another few hours of my life I will never get back). A patch is coming...a patch is coming! Folks, don't hold your breath for a functional patch anytime this century. We're still wating for a functional BA1 patch since March 23, 2006! I know that next-gen consoles are where the money is at today, but does UBISOFT have to make their distain for PC gamers so blatantly obvious? But they're sure willing and able to take our $40, aren't they?
Written by just another satisfied UBISOFT customer. Happy keyboard-mashing to all of you wanna-be fighter pilots out there in PC-land!
im a happy pc gamer i never bought ba2 lol was looking for the demo to see how the game has changed from ba1 seems it has failed again tryed it on the xbox but as you said the pc is the home of the flight sim genre. still im glad i learn my lesson from ba1 shame there was no demo for all the people who already bought the game who have not learned from ba1 and for the new guys of course there was not going to be a demo before the release would have been bad for sales dont get your hopes up for a working patch we waiting a year for 2 with ba1 and they didint work.
Very rarely in my life have I been made to eat crow so quickly - and it is not because of a bird-strike to the canopy glass. I AM TRULY SORRY ABOUT MY PRIOR POSTING!!! After having blasted UBISOFT so harshly earlier today, I decided to (for the very last time) try to get my X52 stick to work in Blazing Angels 2. Upon clicking play, low and behold, an AUTOPATCH 1.01 window pops up. I installed the patch, and after maping the buttons and stick axis (you guessed it, folks) MY X52 STICK WORKS PERFECTLY NOW!!! I sincerely want to say that I AM SORRY and THANK YOU to the developers. After playing the game for a little while properly, I was able to fully enjoy the drop dead GORGEOUS GRAPHICS minus the verbal swearing and stick beating. To all of those who were on the fence about buying BA2 because of control issues, the green light has been lit. ALL HAIL AUTOPATCH 1.01!!!! I hope to see all of you daring aviators online in the multiplayer arena! I wish to also formally apologize to the Tech Support representative who had to listen to my rant via the telephone. Now about Blazing Angels 1...
Writen by a truely happy UBISOFT customer (no sarcasm this time). Please forgive my impatient nature. Great job you guys! I will be the FIRST in line to purchase BLAZING ANGELS 3 for PC!!!!
Sorry, no agreement here--until a working(patched 1.02) demo is available, I will not join your bandwagon. Too many burns by UBI lately to even consider your change of heart. If I can try it out first, then I will re-evaluate my position. But right now I am still in not another cent to UBI mode.
Hey, don't get me wrong - I agree with you whole heartedly that a functional Demo should be available for PC. Just because they fixed my particular X52 glitch doesn't mean that it will work with your setup at all. There is no good reason that UBISOFT can't release a Demo for PC just as they already have done for Xbox 360. I took the risk, regreted it for a while, but it looks like my gamble finally paid off. It really is a great game. It's not IL-2, by any strech of the imagination, but then again it's not designed to be (it's a different audience). I still have a list of requested features a mile long for Blazing Angels 3, but that's for a different Forum Topic. I hope you get your Demo, so that you can try before you buy. Until then, I'll see you on the ground when I land - right now there are Nazis to be killed...and I'm just the aviatrix for the job!
