It's a good game so don't let my comment put you off buying it. One
problem, stuttering, seems to be something people with faster cpu's
get. Damaging an anemy plane doesn't seem to slow it down. Some
problems are just due to design.***pit is too zoomed in by default
and zooming it out doesn't stick for the next session. Joystick
sensitivity is way too twitchy (my biggest gripe). There are other
issues and there is a list availalbe of all the fixes needed, but
can't remember the url. Sorry.

Haven't you seen the videos? They are not a bunch of static pics
stitched together. :-)

Nothing *really* bad. It was just released well before it was ready.

Ah, so no really serious issues, I'll buy it then. About that joystick
sensitivity, weren't those Spitfires way to sensitive in real life?

While you're here Chris.. you've read this thread, you know how
anxious we all are about WSC.. is there a chance that we will see WSC
indeed in Q3?

And might we take this opportunity to prod you for a demo as well? ;-))

It's a cheat for GPL. You can use it to modify some
game parameters such as grip level, car weight, etc.

Sorry, CHris -- I coulda sworn I saw a disclaimer somewhere... well,
there goes *my* credibility (as if I ever HAD any). Thanks for the
correction, and now how about some news?

Hey, you can DO that in QuickTime... I've already recanted, so now I go
to the penalty box and I feel shame...

Never mind Bart, you may be omnipotent as regards spelling and grammar,
but your comprehension sucks ;).

Go read some comments at the forum at www.simhq.com and at the
flight-sim news group first. Some people really don't like it, other
call it a diamond in the rough. Yes, the spit was agile, but due to
the lack of SA in a computer sim we need concessions made. Try the
demo first too. It's an early demo, but it gives you a fairly good
idea of what to expect.

But, dewd... Ah, well -- at least I admit it when I step on my own ....,
unlike some David G Fishers I can think of.

Well, I bought it yesterday, I saw it in a shop for $20usd.
First impressions are good, but I could only test it for an hour or
so.
Thanks for the forum link, I didn't know that site.
