Just a quick comment re: additional data being provided about damage to different systems as a learning tool for new pilots.
Perhaps the original poster isn't aware about the "arcade=1" feature in the conf.ini?
It's a great tool (one I hadn't seen in any other sim) showing where hits were made by one guns. Combined with the track recorder, arcade=1 really helped me improve my gunnery especially deflection shooting.
I remember playing Lucasfilms BoB waaaaaay back.... 'twas great fun! It's amazing how far the tech has come (of course, it has been 20+ years now!!)... loved the box-art of that game. I also wish I'd never thrown out the manual for Dynamix Red Baron 2; that was a beautiful manual with glossy colour profiles for each aircraft etc... etc... (C_G takes a trip down memory lane to a miss-spent adolescence in front of the computer on beautiful summer days).
