Anyone have tried this? Atleast it looks cool, but how's gameplay & FM ?
Is it worth to buy?

i played it about 4 times and gave it up. granted: it has been over a year ago and i havent uploaded any of the patches. at the time the terrain was extremely limited i think to just the washington stste area and the game was not as interesting as MSFS2000 which i was into at the time.

it did have promise though - the airport and town areas were cool but they looked kind of like photographs. as for flight model it wasn't very challenging but not altoghter bad - the models were visually arcadish-  this post is making me want to patch it and try it again  -i'll repost after the patch.

I heard that the base capture model was a bit gamey, but the gunnery was spot on!   ;)

seriously...  I have no clue.  I'm not that interested in boxed flight sims right now.  More interested in these beautiful WWII planes with human players shooting back at me!   ;)

it is a good IFR/VFR type sim.. with the same basic Functionality as MSFS2000 pro, The graphics are nice.. and the Flight model is okay.. Its about = with MSFS2000 pro... Some parts are better, some are worse.. about same flight propogation.

They both kick x-planes butt when it comes to in depth of instrument flight and training, but X-planes Flight characterists smoke both of them combined  :D
