jsut a heads up, guys - if u do not have a joystick or a powerfull GPU do not buy this game. (at least wait for a demo)

i say the game at a friends house (he has joysick) and i figured i will pick it up myself too but when i came over to test the game on his machine i found out a few things

improved mouse control my ass. yea, it is ever so slightly better but come on, ubi, havent u ever played a space flight game in your life?
why on earth havent u changed the mouse control to be more like "pearl harbor"????
yeah, pearl harbor is a bad game BUT has a wonderful wonderful mouse control. easy and accurate to pilot. kinda like in space flight games.
in pearl harbor when i move the mouse slightly to the right than the plane turns right slightly and KEEP TURNING until i re-center the mouse. this way i can make delicate turns to follow an enemy plane. with BA 1 and 2 if u move the mouse slightly to the right than the plane turns right 5 degrees and re-centers but that control scheme is useless since your targets are always moving.
i do not understand how come UBISOFT havent done the most basic research on how to make a decent mouse control. not everyone has a joystick. the keyboard control is the only way one can barely play this game without a joystick and it's just as bad as BA1.

when i buy a car racing game than i know i can play and have fun even if i dont have a wheel. why can't this be the same with BA2?

another problem - he has a x1900 card (1gb ram) and he can't set the resolution to anything higher than 1152X854. now i have the same GPU but with 2gb ram and i dont know if i can play on a higher rez. why is this stupid limitation?!
if one wants to play on low FPS than let him.

this game is a lousy port and i really dont appreciate any of the mild effort by ubisoft to port it to PC.

Depends on Video Card and drivers. The max resolution on a X1950Pro was the one supported by the LCD (1280x1024) or even 1360x768 on a Wide Samsung LCD. It may be a driver issue...

I play it at 1600x1050 here with no problem.

a game should NOT decide for itself on your graphic settings. it should let the costumer choose his settings by himself without restrictions. im sure u will all agree with me on that.
the game might consider 40 frames per second the norm and will not allow the costumer to enable settings that will cause the game to run at anything lower than that, but the costumer might want to play on 30FPS with higher settings but the game wont let him.

my friend has the latest 7.9 catalyst so it's unlikely to be a driver issue.

i will see how this game runs on my computer to see if there is any difference.

and i just wish ubisoft will sober up and make some quality control with the mouse, which is something that a lot of lesser companies got right long long time ago.

I completely agree with you about the mouse controls. It's *VERY* annoying to have to keep moving the mouse over and over to catch an enemy plane. In fact it's so annoying it makes me not want to play the game.

Please release a fix for this, it's ridiculous otherwise.

1440x900 here. weird. still the mouse control needs some reworking, but right now i think they need to get some serius thinking in the gamepad and joystick support.

I hate how the game automatically levels the wings period. Even in simulation mode mouse or keyboard. It keeps trying to do it when I'm following an enemy in a turn or something. Very annoying. I need to go back to reading reviews before buying games...

well, everyone agrees than.

this should be an easy fix in a patch but patches usually dont change these kind of issues.

luckily i didnt not buy this game and i will return in shortly to my friend. such an issue really doesnt make me want to advance any further and definatly not to buy the game for myself. if this was a really hard thing to do (make the mouse control fun) than maybe i could understand such an issue but every other game on the planet got it right. only ubisoft can't seem to understand what to do.

rubbish

i have x800 agp, and i have a 22" 1680x1050 res,monitor, whats up with the 1152x864 res limit in this game? thats so wierd especially for a flight game. did i miss something? they have to patch this game fast.or its ebay time.

I am an IL2 Sturmovik 1946 player usually, and I am REALLY enjoying this game.

its just the control system and joysticks that needs work.

BA2 is really fun on the PC!

but PLEASE make my joystick work (MS FF Pro), its hard playing with keys.
