Beautiful but heavy and complicated.

I agree to some extent, as I helped beta test the original version, it was very system demanding, but it ran very well on my highly optimized system. There were a few bugs, but no show stoppers, with a constant stream of patches that included new content aswell as bug fixes. When they added new theaters, new features, bug fixes were included with the new maps, missions, and aircraft. Hopefully the development will stay the course with this business model. Although I doubt we will see as much free content, as we did in those days.
