I don't know if I should look at all the screen shots or not.

Post by: spitfiremkv on June 19, 2005, 01:43:49 PM: if I remember correctly, the dutch guy who used wideview for those monitors with FS(wideview isn't free anynore btw :p)
works for a computer company of sorts and he gets them pretty cheap.
so he said he didn't spend too much money.

back on the thread of Fighter Ops, I do find it weird that they modelled the terrain insuch detail yet for the cockpits they only have crude models. Also, the FM isn't mentioned at all, in fact, they don;t say anything on the website about the actual simulator part of the game.
