OG game, blast from the past

A lot of fun, while the graphics are on the old side, noting quite like an old ww2 sim.

Really great ww2 flight sim

Having a really great time playing this with my flight stick. I had to delete the dinput.dll file in the directory to get my stick to function correctly and now it works perfectly. Highly recommend if you want to mess around in a ww2 plane. Reading the manual is highly recommended to get a grip with some of the systems.

Fun to play

But for beginners, it's difficult to steer and you have to have the patience of saint to wait for the action.
