very cool looking game but very very complicated as far as controls go. you definitely need yourself a high end machine for this game.

Actually its a lot like JK3. Once you turn off a few key settings (effects and shadows), I can get easily 70fps @ 1024x768 with a XP1700+ and GF3Ti200 with all the pretty textures like in the screenshots.

After flying it a bit more and tweaking the controls, I'm getting to like it. I still cannot beat that damn Mig mission unless I lock on and blow him out of the sky on the first pass. I still can't get the rudder where I like it (even tweaking the dead zone and exponentials) but overall I'm impressed with the sheer level of control over the systems.

BTW, if you can't get the weapons to fire, read the README. basically you have to hit 7 to arm the air-to-ground
