Try to get with someone on a Voice system (ie Teamspeak) to walk you through the stations- it's alot easier to have someone verbally coach you through something than just reading it in a book.
Agreed. F4 was a lot harder to learn, at least for me. Hell, I've been flying since July, and I'm still learning new systems.

There's a bit of a difference though. The stuff you need to learn in F4 is mostly technical, and the trick is that you need to be able to recall it quickly while under pressure. DW is more about understanding the environment and being cognicant of what you know vs. what you don't. It's more of a puzzle than an exercise in memorization.
Excellent points made by two of the best "in the business!" Hang in there Enigma! DW is a great game and worth the effort! I've tried Falcon 4 AF and it's a great game too but I found out REAL quick that I'm a much better sub driver than I am an Airdale. If you can handle F4AF you can certainly handle DW.
