Hello All,
Having played flight sims since not long after the Falklands War (on a ZX81!!!), and have bought just about every major flight sim since, as well as having flown a variety of aircraft, I'm delighted by the prospect of this sim. :)
For the record, I personally found Falcon 4 an absolute pig straight out of the box. It was almost unusable! After weeks of trying to get it to work for more than 5 minutes at a time and finding bizarre bugs, it became completely unattatractive.
I found that there was eventually a point beyond which I didn't much care how authentic it was, and I don't say that lightly! .
I think even pretty serious simmers have thresholds, if you pardon the pun, and I'm primarily interested in a generally very accurate and reliable sim which I can cope with after a tough day and maybe a glass or two of wine. If that means the weapons modes (for example) are made a little simpler, that's fine by me!
It will also be nice to "fly" something in a jet combat sim which isn't an F-16, F-15, F/A-18....etc.
Ah, if only the English Electric Lightning was used in anger....or a Saab Viggen...think of the sims!
Kindest regards to all. :)
