I think that is the general sentiment for Namco from almost the entire flight community. They have been the leading game developer for the XBOX360 and its been 3 1/2 years? We are all ready for the next xbox ACE COMBAT.
There only hope to ease this wait is to make such an effort with uilding it the way we have asked for, that we don't mind and we all go out and buy the game in triplacate. But that is just me. Give me a personal hangar to customize my planes. Give me a shop to sweek the settings a bit and allow for us to choose how the plane handles. Then we have a whole new era in flight games.
There is an idea. Let me choose how much armor to drop to boost the maneuving level. Let me see how much thrust to stability controll I wan't. Give me the controll to shift the settings so far one way I can just pull all kinds of crazy stuff. Now that will be awsome. I have seen my brothers and friends do this stuff in car games why not have the same thng in the planes? Let us alter the flow of combat with custome settings? I say do it NAMCO.
