Hi Hitec and Co,

i saw the question someone asking in help forum how much the game costs, and by looking myself i saw a major drawback in the new design.

Under the menue "Game Info" should be a point "getting started" or something like that explaining
- free download
- helpfile
- two weeks free
- then pay 14.95$

I know the info is on the website somewhere, but i think you will get more customers if you clearly state that under "Game Info".

Also note that the point "Planes Vehicles, Boats" should read "Planes, Vehicles, Boats" imho. Well at least something consistent.

Apart from that i like the new Website much more than the old one now, makes a orderly impression and delivers the 1940 feeling pretty well.

Probably the orderly fashion will appeal to germans... you got advertisement coverd in germany?

no no. thats not how it works.

First you get them addicted.
THEN you tell em how much it costs. By then it wont matter;)

HeHe, addiction... im *not* addicted.... i hope...hmmm... ok.

On a side note: TY hitech, for making game download possible without giving Credit Card info first. I hate it when Games are advertised as two week free trial and on download they ask for CC #.

Edit: Did you update the help file? it looks a lot more comprehensible and useful now.

But.. It's right there on the home page, under the Get Started -link. Which is on the Features-page under Game info as well.

I dont see the get started link on the features page.

See the features page, see links on it... can follow one of the download links, then click on game then i get the page where i find a link to getting started.

You are right, it is there. And i dont doubt that. But the get started is not directly accessable in the game info menu. Instead its in the downloads... where i expect downloads and not game info on how to get started.

So what i want to say is there is no direct link to the get started page from the game info menu, where i was looking for it and other will look as well.

After seeing my post i noticed the title is way to harsh... was not what i meant.

I know its all somewhere on the web page, just meant its hard to find.

Ok, I guess it would be better if it were under the game info link box as well, might make it easier to find.

I took that banner for some advertising banner and totally overlooked it.
