Great sim!

I've had this game for about a month now and I'm having a blast with it!
Great graphics. Excellent sound. Good flight models. Great game play!
The on-line play is a bit spotty right now. Only 2 or 3 servers up at any given time, but I'm sure that will change as the game catches on.
But there's absolutely nothing wrong with the off-line play! This is a state of the art game! You'll need a good rig to run it with all the settings maxed, but even at half max settings it still plays well.
The game only comes with 4 planes and any extra planes you want have to be purchased and downloaded. (that's a bit cheezy as it's not mentioned on the box) but you can get by just fine with the 4 planes included as they are very good planes.
You get the:
Spad XIII
Fokker D.VII
Albatros D.Va
Nieuport 28
If you can't shoot something down using those planes.....buying new planes won't help you!
The one thing I love about this game is that it doesn't have a "Wonder Woman" view. It does have a fly-by view, but other than that you are in cockpit at all times!
Believe me, when you shoot down a plane in this game.....you earned it!
There is a gun convergence scale in the game, but I don't know why. Sit on the runway in any plane and just fire the guns and watch the tracers. They go here, there and everywhere! (as I'm sure it was in real life)
Again, when you get a kill in this game.....you've earn it!
I highly recommend this sim to anyone who's looking for something new to fly!
