Store page information isn't quite right
OK, here's what you want to know: There were three versions released of this game. The base game in 1994 with 10 aircraft and 2 factions, then there was 1942: The Pacific Air War Scenario in 1995 that brought the flyable planes up to 16, added the Japanese and American Armies as playable factions as well as both the Philippines and New Guinea areas, and added multiplayer, along with 300 new missions. Finally there was 1942: The Pacific Air War Gold, which bundled the two packages together and added historical multimedia movies detailing flying techniques and the historical battles. The description on this page would suggest that you're buying the base game from 1994 only. Instead, you're getting the Gold version. All planes, factions and areas are included here. Though I haven't found any sign of the multimedia movies yet. Many have complained about ear shattering digital sound distortion on the Steam version of this game. Thankfully there are no audio problems in this release. To all outward appearances (to someone who's never played this game before) it runs just as intended, with one exception: My trusty Thrustmaster joystick seems to have a non-existent deadzone in this game. Unlike other GOG flight sims like Red Baron that work perfectly, this one needs several calibrations on every startup, and even then you never quite eliminate a slight jitter. This game has an enormous amount of ground to cover during missions, but any attempt to fast travel without autopilot will send your plane spinning into the ground in a matter of seconds. It's frustrating having to be so hands on during long flights, but once in combat all control problems melt away as you find yourself in some furious and truly brutal aerial melees. The AI does NOT mess around in this game. I'm still getting to grips with the game's many systems, but I'm really looking forward to jumping into the star feature: Carrier Battles. A truly dynamic fleet-sized campaign: https://tinyurl.com/y46p7udf
