Hello
I just bought this on steam; and my reaction to the game is not quite as optimistic as yours op.
First of all I started the game after install with expert mode on. I can't put the fighter jet into a spin. I can fly straight up and not stall. I can land on lakes; rivers; hills; I haven't tried mountains. I can fly 5 feet above ground upside down(steam gave me a sticker). When I try to exit the atmosphere and look back down everything does look very impressive. Wherever you are there's no hint of airflow over the wings; no matter what stunts you pull. The wings do flex.... If you look at the engines of the jet fighter from behind randomly the engines turn off (visually not physically). I would like to get a refund; but I don't believe steam will give refund based off of user experience
They sell it as realistic flight simulator and I can land any plane on water and take off again! Oh! With or without landing gear!
