If you are objecting at any support of SF in any form I can completely understand that...But you are missing out on the finest modern air combat simulation in 10 years.

A truly unique subject matter with the finest presentation and modeling I've seen in air combat sims since Janes was around. Very glad I took the plunge.

Congrats PeriscopeDepth! The Black Shark is very good indeed, and I wouldn't miss out on this one. The feeling of how the beast moves and react to the inputs, and then get it to do exactly what you want it to do is something unique, at least for me.

I hear the upcoming A-10 sim will have an even more sophisticated flight physics simulation... In that case people really should start training with the Shark now. Trying to hover properly with only the Flight Director engaged is an challenging excercise in constant input corrections.

Edit: Dowly, try to buy the download version before you start the party with beers and vodka, instead of doing this afterwards. You might then get the card number right...
