Loved this game when it first came out, so I was happy to see it finally arrive at GOG. So far for me, it has worked right out of the box (I'm running win 10 and have a joystick). Another reviewer mentioned to tweek the .ini file for the joystick - good advice. I have a Thrustmaster T16000 and HOTAS throttle - the game read my throttle only (which has a thumb style joystick on it) so I used that on the 1st go. The manual and Keyboard reference card are included with the game as PDF files in the main folder so be sure to review these before jumping in. There's tutorial videos / flights included as well. Overall, untill they get their hands on Janes Apache Longbow, this is my new (old) go-to "fun" sim for helos.
