I'm what you could call 'old school' I guess.. A full career in the armed forces, (now, climb into a full military simulator, and then come and tell me that this is not a game..) Plus, I've always been taught that you don't whinge or whine at what life throws at you.. you just make the best of what you have and get on with it. I carry that philosophy with me in whatever I do, and that includes playing 'games'..

Some of the posters here should get themselves into a high performance prop driven aircraft, and throw it all over the sky in some actual WWII combat tactics, and then they might get some perspective reference a computer game versus real life, and actualy understand that what they appear to have wrapped their whole lives around is just a very realistic and demanding game and nothing more..

I love the whole 'flight sim' genre, in particular WWII, but I don't turn into some sort of crusading avenger just because a game I have bought has not lived up to its expectations.. there are more real life and death issues I deal with that have a meaningful impact on my life..
