Well, reading the 'Review' sums up what I have said on the BDG web site, only perhaps I am now a little more let down.
I have the orignal Rowans BoB. With all the hard work, updates that BDG have made over a period of time for NOTHING...ZIPPO..NARDA..etc that is more then worth while keeping and using as I do now.
This so called new SW BoB uses the same voices, sayings etc. Someone has said that a new speech update is on it's way, but why do they release it with the old one in the first place? How come the ground views are 'crap'? And that's just the start.
All this 'hype' about being fantastic, seem to me to be a little bit over the top.
IL-FB has been around now for a few years..It is really the 'bench' mark as far as flight sims are concerned..I love it and when i'm not flying Rowans BoB, I fly FB and the first one of theirs IL..Pity SW didn't look at that and understand that is what people now expect..In other words a good crisp, sharpe image at all levels, that also goes for the cockpit's as well. FB's are really as good as the real thing..Trust me on that one chaps..If they did look, then well the only thing I can think is that someone had 'blinkers' on that day.
If it already needs a patch, which it does, with many more to follow i'm sure, then I intend to wait, and see before I would even think about buying a copy, and thats a big MAYBE... The release date was put forward and forward with the idea of being updated..Well if it is like this now, what was the orignal like that they intended to give us? I dread to think.
Yes I know even IL-FB had update's to start with, but the overall package was pretty sound at the very start with just little, not very annoying 'faults'. This though seems to start on a very 'sticky' wicket..
