I just tried the demo - impressive graphics and generally great fun.
Setup was very easy - click 'controls' and assign axis and keys to your joystick, pedals and throttle. It took less than 5 mins.
TrackIR works perfectly.


EDIT:
Uh oh - when I restart the demo I lose all settings I made. That's annoying.

Demo is nice. Ran ver smooth on my pc too. Very nice eye candy. Wish they would make it more towards the sim crowd. This game has lots of potential if the company takes it the right way.

I found the demo for the game, I guess this demo was put out at first, it was the whole game, 6GB, but only has 2 planes unlocked, then they decided to make a new demo that was smaller, around 1.5GB, which they say will be out soon, but if you want to try it now here's the link, I'm downloading it, it downloads through a torrent so it's fairly fast, mine says it's only gonna take about 2 hours to finish.

Wow that's well seeded
2.2 mb/s here
I wonder if HTC could implement a P2P system for map/update downloads, it would probably cut down on download time a lot.

BTW it says .iso
Do i have to burn it to a disk? I don't think I have an .iso burning program anymore

No there are free .ISO programs out there that can create a virtual drive that you mount the file to.

Could you link me to one?
I would just google it however when I tried to burn a W7 install disk I ended up wasting 2-3 DVD's with an .iso program that just turned out to not work right... downloaded another and worked fine. I was also not able to find a free one with that quest (and the trials have run out).
Sorry to be a pain :)

Haha I'm dumb
I select the .iso as Disk M and it shows up on my computer as CD Drive (M:)
But when I double click on M:\ it says 'M:\ is not accessible incorrect function'
I think I'm doing it wrong?


It was on a different partition (all of my torrents go to the Music folder by default d'oh)
I'm putting it on my desktop to see if that will work.

Nope :(

It's definitely more geared to the mass market rather than the sim flyer, game is optimized for game pads as well as for joysticks but the immersion factor is quite high and I have been having a lot of fun playing the demo.  I've been really enjoying the Battle for Berlin campaign.

I had a blast to, but when I started it up again all my settings were gone. That just sucks.

Yeah flying into that horde of HE-111 is definitely a blast, wish I had the $50 to activate the rest of it. :(

Love the oil effect. I shot the engine out on a HE111 and had oil all over my canopy.  Was great. I am downloading the big version now to see if that one will keep my views

No, it won't, that the version I use, I have to set it up ever time.
