I can't work out why you have to set target then fire, why can't you just fire, there must be a reason but as yet it eludes me. 

10 mins to finish downloading here.  But Rugby is on in a bit...

I don't think I am going to like this after all.  I can't control the thing !  Found it impossible to shoot the planes in the training mission. 

Rugby calls, will try again later.

Same as Freddy, not just me then. 

How are you getting along with this game Data ?. 

I passed the intro bit second go, easy, then I joined a squadron and after one battle got made an Air Commodore, two more battles in and I was promoted to Air Marshal, if we win the next battle over France I will be promoted to Marshal of the Royal Air Force.



[spoiler]I cant get passed this first training mission either, going back to F1[/spoiler]

Don't like being beaten by a tutorial, I stuck with it and did them all.

The graphics do look good when you max them out and the game remained playable.

Have up-loaded a screenshot to the gallery.

I finally managed to kill the two planes and did the first tutorials.  I need to get a MS controller though, everything on my controller seems in the wrong place. I might like this if I could just get the hang of the controls.

I might just have to try this game out, once I redo my windows8 and get all programs installed 

Deep joy, I did a restore earlier for an unforeseen situation, it's wiped out this game for some reason or other, need to down load again, another couple of hours wasted waiting. 

I had to clean up the contacts on the USB plug of my joystick but I've got it working.

Downloading now.

I've played flight sims that were more intuitive but it's ok.

Done all 7 of the tutorials though I did crash the plane onto the aircraft carrier but passed anyway.

Is anyone playing this?

I had to program the controls at least 3 times to get it right. Using an MS joystick.

I've played this a couple of times now Snowy in Arcade mode, seems OK but I wouldn't want to pay for the privilege.

Is it safe to say we all gave up on this one and I can remove it from my disk..?

Like Diesel I don't want to pay for it.
