Thinking about purchasing BUT.

1. make sure you have a uber system

2. make sure you have a uber system

3. if you get issues, look here at posts where its a similar issue and people who have gotten the game to run. Some find it easier to cry than to spend time figuring it out

4. make a decision and stick with it. don't bother to let others make it for you. Use the forums for info, but you have to separate the lame from the useful (more so here) .

5. My general experience with steam is its better having the dvd. multi gig d/l take a long time and can be wonky.

6. When installing the game on windows 7, log into a true administrator account and right click the install and run as administrator (if the game install lets you some software just run straight from auto play on the CD). half of buggy window 7 software installs is solved by running as admin during initial install.

7. make sure drivers are update

Real men buy the sim and tough out the problems!

Your decision: Fly with the eagles or scratch with the chicken!

Chuck Norris would buy this sim!

You may already know this but some people are under the impression that having Steam means you have to be online all the time in single player mode. Not so - you can play offline and only connect to Steam when you want to update or go MP.

Thanks for all your replays. So I'm going to spend some hard earned summer money to a Radeon 6950. Hopefully my PC gets a new lease of life. Also CH Product pedals are on shopping list. It's expensive to be an WWII aviation buff - I should be doing insect collecting or something.
