Hi Col,

re flightsims stuff..have you tried B17 the mighty Eigth? (the sold out version runs on XP and looks like it could have been made yesterday)
it plays like a subsim but it's a combat flightsim...only this time your in a bomber in a "convoy" taking a pyload of bombs to a target (it even has a "periscope" aiming device (the norden bombsight) to aim the bombs...works and looks just like a periscope.and it's every bit as tricky as manual targetting in a subsim.
.motion captured fully animated crew...
here's the tail gunner heading to his post

runs at huge resoloution...and has the most detailed ground mapping system i have ever seen in a fllightsim...every single mark bush road river village wood forest etc etc matches exactly the in game navigation map..(it has to..you need to navigate across europe by looking out the window and comparing it to the map!!!..and the stunning thing is....it works!..look out the window see a smal forest shaped like a duck..with a road to the left and a river to the right......check the map..find the duck forest with the road and the river..adjust course to match...mind bogglingy detailed )
bit off topic i know apologies for that..

it's true what they say..they just DONT make 'em like they used too..SH2 for all it's faults is still a better game than SH3..
