Cooley - I did as you did, about a year ago now. I couldn't get WB3 to work properly either, whereas AH was working within 20 minutes of download. You'd think the WB guys would learn something from that, but no. They still think that theirs is the greatest sim, so great that it's worth spending weeks/months twiddling all the various settings to make it work. As I said at the time, what chance is there of attracting new players to WB, when they can download AH (¼ of the size), and have a better game with good connections and proper customer support within minutes.
