It's not bad, very early in development of course, but not bad

Also, no stutter detected :)

Looks like very touchy controls, your nose was all over the place. So what do we figure, 2 more years until its up and running?

I just tried it. Setting up the controls can be a little tricky. Seems to want to pick an axis you don't intend like assigning the stick x axis to both pitch and roll. I found it helps if you move the axis a little off center in the axis you want to assign before clicking the assign button. You definitely need left and right wheel brakes.

I got the same vibe. What it would look like if AH turned up polly count and new terrain. it’s about the most of that could be different. Game play tops the list for me. What is it?

Of course, reminds me of AW5

Diggin the prop and sound mix.

But ya, full game play is still a long way off. I’d love to be wrong. But still, how can you be WWII and not automatically include ETO? Kinda absurd IMO.

I can’t get past PTO only at first. Water gets boring ultra fast.

Keeping an eye on it. But TBH I'll be a LOT more interested when they move to New Guinea for obvious reasons! :aok
