So now I must eat hypothetical crow...

If you compare COD with a 16 girl year old covering up the blemishes with makeup then you’d have to compare the original series+mods to a 60 year old lady doing the same (using the rule of thumb that time goes 6x fast in the techno world!).

I'm not normally this politically incorrect and I really admire the loyalty of the people sticking with the original series very much, but the time I have available to play in simulated worlds is so limited that just don't have the time to learn the new Flight models AND play in the old sand pit!

Just throttling back over those proudly jutting cliffs at Dover, dropping the gear and flaps when the speed drop down enough and settling down and admiring the rounded glory of the landscape below as one comes onto short finals and anticipating the climax of another successful sortie is enough for any red blooded man!

If it wasn't illegal for a man in my profession I’d be saying give me the 16 year old any day!
