Yes it sounds good, but what's the deal with emphasizing
"real world topography". I guess that means the harbor at
Pearl and Midway Island, after all how much does the ocean
"terrain" change?

IEN....arent those the Warbirds guys?

I had a "free" trial there once. I signed up for one of those free weekends to try it out. After it took them 3 months to finally stop billing me when I cancelled my account the day after the free weekend, I began to wonder exactly what the definition of "free" really was.

Actually, this might not be so bad. I wonder if, at some level, this is the next iteration of "Warbirds".

What's the "History Channel Battle of Britain 1940"? I've never heard of it before.

And enough of the "this company is bad, this company is great" stuff. Its like listening to BMW fans disrespecting Lexus and Infinity.

I never said the company was bad...maybe it was just their billing department that didnt understand what "free" meant.
