Do the lack of replies indicate that no-one around here has bought it?
Come on, I'm interested! (stingy students don't like coughing up until
they know they are going to get good value for money :-)

Seeing it at the show, I did notice that on one of the screens there is a
windows symble, dose anyone know why? is these a nath Office Package hidden
in this flight sim? You know the other way around to the way MicroSoft did
it! :-)

I bought it a few weeks ago. It was an 8bit sound version, but a 16bit
version is available now.
The graphics are simple, indeed not much better than what InterdictorII
offered years ago.
Flying the plane is nice, I passed without problems through the flying
school.
As for the actions: so far I have not won a single fight against the F18
Hornets and a lot of additional practising is needed.
This has to do with difficulties in interpreting the radar and I have the
impression it is not functioning correctly.

I think the manual could be a little more clear and detailed
