- Problems not Fixed
The last / final patch for this game was v1.02. This did not address the above listed problems with joysticks. Why make a flight sim if you cannot use a joystick beats me. Keyboard flying is just not the same.

Don't waste your money. Get someting else instead.

- An Unbiased Review
What a shame! This had the possiblity of being a reasonable game for WW2 Flight Sim maniacs, of which I am one, but what a disappointment. The graphics are not bad, but don't bother trying to play this game with a joystick, you will be wasting your time. At first I could not get it to function at all, and when I did, I could only fly with the keyboard, which I hate. As stated by other reviewers, the control mapping for the joystick is rubbish, and if you try to fly you will find that you cannot disassociate the rudder from the ailerons, even though they are seperately mapped, and any slight sideways twitch on the joystick will flip you into a roll.
I have had a request in to Ubisoft for technical help for two months, and they steadfastly ... Read More:

- Standard stuff but looks great and great sound
Well, I heard the in cockpit view is not included which is a real shame. And I have found my Ubi-soft mouse (cordless) ultra-sensitive - do a slight move too far and I'm upside down! Having said that, when you get to Dunkirk (for instance) it's easy to get totally engrossed as giant well-rendered bombers roar past your ears as you do a sharp turn and drill their backs with flack. When the combat gets thick and planes are gunning and diving all around of you and you're feeling the G as you drag on your stuck to manoeuvre amongst the smoke and debris - it's not so bad. Basically, if you want realism, this is not your thing. If you want top arcade style play - this isn't it either - it just seems so, well, standard. But I found it in a shop for 12 ... Read More:

- Waste of time
Blazing Angels is a game full of problems, if you can even get it to load! After many attempts I eventually got passed the protection key. Despite many repeated attempts to get help from the Ubisoft website (still waiting) downloading the patches I have finally admitted defeat and unistalled this game for good and binned it.Don't waste your money!

- Fun but it needs patches, seriously!
First of all, this is a good game, but it needs a lot of improvement here and there.

Background: Looking for a WWII fighter game for a while back, but not very good at control the fighter, i.e. amateur sim player. But would like to enjoy some fun in dogfight. Tried with demo, using *keyboard*, at least I shot something down. So bought it and gave it a go.

Pros:
1. Relatively easy to get your hands on it, if you are green.
2. Stunning graphics and sounds effects, with the newest shader effects and very realistic accoustic impact sounds etc.

Cons:
1. Doesn't support joystick very well, or not at all at the moment. I have a logitec 3D extreme, but it doesn't support at all, all the key mappings ... Read More:
