I have silent hunter 3; not sure where the box is. I have condor flight simulator; and take on helicopters. I'm thinking of one of the dcs franchises; or il2 clifs of dover (but I've read it was very buggy/unstable upon release; and I'm not sure if they've fixed everything yet).

I told you so! Twice! (post #3, too)

Take it for what it is. You can have fun with it if you do, and can learn about Switzerland . But if you insist on your expectations being different, then you will recall it as a waste of money, which would be sad. that bad it simply is not.

I also saw that Steam sells the full package with 8 instead 4 planes, and for 40 bucks. Well, that much it wouldn't have been worth for me, too, probably. As I said, the special edition "2013" that I got, regularly costs 30 Euro, and I got it for the half. Originally the thing costed 65 dollars, thats why I did not go after it earlier this year.

I agree though that it is a bit rich that they promote this as the most realistic flight simulator". The most realistic VFR looks - that would have been correct. But again, I told about the basic physics only, and limited options.
Microsoft flight; the free to play version that failed. Is better and more realistic then this game; period. The beef I have is not with you; but with the sales pitch that it is; the game is in fact a real simulator. I tried using the glider that same night and I couldn't retract the propeller. Did I mention you can retract the landing gear on a whim and not damage the plane; it pops in and pops out; that should have been in your review Think about it; it's kind of funny; but that really represents what this game is; an arcade game.
