Very very good game. Realistic both in the flying but also in the missions and one has to accept that in the real world flying to and returning from a mission takes up the most time. This can make return flights very interesting if one has taken damage in combat. So the graphics of the scenery is quite simplistic but actually is sufficient to be believable. You can creep up behind hills and pop up to fire over then drop back down. Radar screen in the cockpit panel is wonderfully detailed and you could fly the missions with your eyes glued to this single screen inside your cockpit. HOWEVER One HUGE problem is that I have never been able to get ANY Joystick to work with this game. There is a bug which locks the view to straight up and the controls do not function at all. If there is a patch for this (??????????} please tell me but I cant find one. It came out for windows 98 se and for XP and later the joystick is incompatible. Amazing game. So advanced for its time.
