I just bought Birds of Prey about 3 weeks ago. I have not made a bigger mistake. The game has just to many glitches for my taste. First of all the frame rate skips and throws you out of sync. Second after you play in Arcade mode you go to Realistic and the planes are to hard to fly. The controls are insane. Once the plane goes into a stall you can't get it straight again. I was looking for an alternative to Ace Combat but I just don't think there is nothing out in the market that is better. Another problem is that the multi-player games or servers are down most of the time. It seems like online playing is not a priority for them. I just hope that they come up with some patches to fix some of these problems.
