Hi Skybird
Found my way on to this site from the thread you started on the Condor Forums. I came, initially, to read your review of Condor (Very nice by the way), but ended up reading loads of Silent Hunter threads. What have you got me into??
I've since bought SH3, and am absolutely stunned by the depth and beauty of it. And I've even gone and bought Das Boot!! Never even thought about Subs before.......... There's no going back now. Aaaargghh!!
Oh, as for the Condor naysayers - Condor is THE definitive freeflight model out there. If modding floats your boat, or a myriad of planes are necessary to keep you from boredom then fine. But there isn't a flight sim on the market that conveys the FEEL of flight as well as Condor does. I personally applaud the creators for keeping the modders out, and the flying pure. I do fly in real life so have a fair idea of what constitutes a decent sim, and there are very few flight sims I haven't tried. Hats off to Skybird for realizing that Condor is the very pinnacle of simulated flight thus far.
All the best, Andy
