| The arcade flight sim Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII for the PC has
gone Gold and ships on March 23 for the budget price of $39.99. It has
single-player and 16-person multiplayer dogfights above the European
theater of World War II. The game will feature 38 realistic aircraft,
including the American Mustang, the British Spitfire, the German
Messerschmitt, and the Japanese Zero.

RELEASE TOO! lol

And Blig Merk constantly bashes the "Xflop three-shitty", etc, etc. He
lives in his own tiny little universe with his own tiny little penis.

I'd rather have it on the 360 and I'll even pay the higher price to have it
on the 360. No computer hassles to deal with. Flame away Bliggety but its just
easier to deal with on the 360.

| Can't wait to play this on my amazing XBOX 360! It rocks!

| Blig Merk 2006-03-15, 11:33 pm |
| Except it will be $20 less for the PC, have higher resolution, better
multiplayer, full size joystick support, probably need a quick patch or
two and maybe even have some expansion mods. Just thought the xflop
fanbitches should know what they are *NOT* going to have. I will be
playing it on my HDTV from my reclining leather couch with my Logitech
force feedback flight stick.

And a point-by-point comparison will make it come in a poor second to
Jane's WW2 Fighters.

Um, better multiplayer? That what? XBox Live Arcade's seemless
matchmaking, virtually no lag, etc? Sorry -- XBox Live Arcade is a FAR
BETTER multiplayer than PC online. Full size joystick support? You do
know that the XBox 360 controller is now univerally considered the best
USB gamepad for the PC, right?
Oh, and good luck playing a PC game on an HDTV *ROTFLMAO*
Blig, what you know about computers you could fit in the head of a
clogged needle.
By the way, stop saying that Blazing Angels is a flight sim. IT IS NOT
A FLIGHT SIM ANY MORE THAN CRIMSON SKIES WAS.
hahahahahahahahaha

Except this is NOT a flight sim any more than Crimson Skies was. Blig
Merk is too stupid to understand this -- I don't know why he'd
crosspost it for CSIPCFS.

| Not a problem, my NVIDIA card came with a HDMI output before I had a HDTV...
In fact, I can send the instrument panel in MSFS 2004 to the monitor and the
"out-of-the-windscreen" view to the HDTV.
Or I can use TrackIr to change views my simply moving my head...
More to the point, I can use a joystick, rudder pedals, throttle, etc. I
even have my Thrustmaster SWF setup to mimic the precise buttons on the real
F-16 when I play Falcon 4.0...
Never could get the hang of using those itty bitty joysticks for flight sims
or aiming FPS...

Blazing Angels is neither a flight sim or FPS. You obviously never
played Crimson Skies before.

| Oh dear Bliggy, you've had to go and spend $2000 + on a system to beat
the 360, with a huge sized base unit inconveniently placed near your
TV, that you have to keep plugging in and unplugging so you can sit at
your desk and post drivel like this every day.
And Oh Dear, that flight stick will be woeful on this game as it's not
a flight sim, it's a 3d shooter!
No, your $20 cheaper version has plenty of hidden costs, like requiring
a graphics card that costs more than the 360 to get better resolutions
and framerates, or a new CPU to process everything.
Good luck with your XBOX 360 bashing, Bliggy!

It is an ARCADE FLIGHT-SIM, you ignorant twat. That is a WELL
RECOGNIZED GAME GENRE by even the most casual of gamers. You make these
pompous claims about being a game reviewer and you don't know that? Of
course a couple reviews on Ugo and customer reviews on Amazon are
hardly anything to be especially proud of. No wonder nobody will hire
you, Joanne/Jonah. An ARCADE FLIGHT-SIM differs from a FLIGHT SIMULATOR
in that a FLIGHT SIMULATOR is much more accurate and true to real life
flying with more realistic physics, flight dynamics and airframe
characteristics. An arcade flight-sim has no connection with reality,
doesn't even try to have realistic physics, and most of all, just lets
the player get up in the air and start playing. You come across as
being a real doofus.

Dear XBox fans,
You know Blig Merk is a troll. We know Blig Merk is a troll. You know
he crossposts between PC and console groups to start a flamewar. We
know he crossposts between PC and console groups to start a flamewar.
So howcome you guys keep feeding him?
We're really not interested in reading his posts, or about him, and
you may have noticed he doesn't get any support, even though likely
more people than me find your posts as XXXXing retarded as his are.
So pretty please, with sugar on top, trim the XXXXing crossposts.

However, flight-sim doesn't know. Mark them duly warned.
