| Banshee?! In my opinion it's the worst way of flying...like ever! I'd rather consume a feather and grow a fury tail and raccoon ears than fly in a banshee |

| Personally I loathed using the Banshee at any point in every Halo game ever. That you have it at the top spot is, however, negated by the worthy inclusion of Nuts & Bolts
I'm a sucker for that game getting the respect it deserves. |

| Dark Void shouldn't already be there.
Especially considering how god damn hard it is to steer and shoot.
Super happy about the Banshee though, probably the best flying vehicle made on any game to date. |

| Well I'd forgotten about Star Fox up until now. I remember loving that game. It was one of the most enjoyable games of that generation.
The X-Wing is a no-brainer. I still think its one of the best looking spacecraft ever conceived.
The Dodo gave me the *****s tbh. I preferred the attack chopper and the "Harrier" from San Andreas. The airport challenges were fun too.
I guess that personally, I will always prefer the more traditional types of aircraft when it comes to gaming. That's not to say that I don't enjoy flying around in the futuristic or downright ludicrous vehicles and animals that are available in games, I just prefer games like Heroes of the Pacific & Battlefield 1943 as they represent an era without all of the fancy futuristic weaponry and the like. I like the way the aircraft play within the games. And as much as I love the fighter jets of today, Tom Clancy's HAWX was a huge let down. I'm still waiting for a decent dogfighter featuring today's technology. The Ace Combat games were okay...
I've always been a plane & helo freak. Dogfighting is in my opinion one of the most enjoyable video game activities there is. As far as I'm concerned, it never gets old. |

| So true. I love dogfighting because every single dogfight is different. The chances of a 109 hitting your spit in the same place is miniscule! I love il2 birds of prey, there is a great community on the official forum. They have a few torniments going at the min and it's keeping the community alive. I, too, want a modern flight sim on ps3 that's realistic. I was really let down by hawx too, I thought it would be something more than defying the laws of physics. I wouldn't even mind if the graphics are dodgy it's just the principle Of having a game that is great fun, realistic and has online being made for the ps3. |

| Lol thompo, I kinda expected you to weigh in on this with reference to IL2. I've read how much you enjoy it and I must say that although I didn't really click with the controls in the demo, I probably didn't give it the time it deserved.
I've also found that the majority of dogfighters set in today's age cannot replicate the feeling of speed like they should. The fighters of 'ole are far better replicated and the physics of flying all the more enjoyable. |

| Hehe, the demo - in my opinion was good, I found out later that the P-51D was mutilated and didn't fly like it should. The demos controlls were wierd with no way of changing them. (you have a ps3 right?) I think the patch - ps3 only at the min - changed a lot of things to make the game much better. First of all there was a custom controll scheme option inserted with the patch, this also enabled the use of PC flight sticks, it basicaly eliminated the "push R3 to look" problem. The aircraft now all fly superbly. I really would buy it if you have a ps3.
That again Is so true. I was playing ace combat te other day an was going about Mach 2 at 50ft and it only felt like 70mph.. Again, il2 has this sorted - I love taking my spit and flying under bridges and along roads. It's just so much more fun for some reason. |
