There is no shortage of add-ons for any of the Third Wire games, whether they be new planes, skins, terrain, or campaigns. I just wrapped up a campaign in Wings Over Europe flying RCAF F-86 Sabres over Germany in 1962. |

Just submitting this old pic i have from FS2004, this was a routine flight from EGLL london heathrow to KJFK new york kennady airport, en route i flew over manchester to join NAT trach "C" (Charlie) which would put me about 150 miles away from iceland.
Following that id later fly down through the canadian cost into new york where i was stacked for over and hour! But heres the shot.

Some screenshots of the Shockwave P-40
Currently reviewing this for Avsim, thought you might like some of the screenshots. It's about to get a glowing review by the way, as it is very nice indeed, spectacularly good audio and flight model, and lots of really nice touches, such as the animated pilot's goggles sliding up onto his flight helmet when the speed slows down.

I've been testing their 'you can fly it by the book' claim, by actually doing that, as I bought a copy of the original P-40 pilot's manual for that exact purpose. And I have to say, they are not lying, you really can. Seriously recommend giving this one a try, about the only downside is that there aren't many variants included in the package, but that's a minor quibble. If this, and BoB2 are any indication of what their forthcoming AVG combat flight simulation is going to be like, I imagine we are in for a real treat. Chock

I'd recommend reading the tactical lessons in the Falcon manual, they are some of the best for any flight sim ever. After that, I'd recommend flying some missions where you just use one weapon only, such as a Wild Weasel strike with anti-radar missiles and no possibility of having to engage aircraft, for example. That way you can learn one weapon well; you can use the campaign to set up such a mission and give yourself an escort to keep the MiGs off you. After you have that weapon sussed, do the same with another weapon etc, etc. If you adopt that approach, you'll find it is easier to take everything in and learn all the different launch and radar modes without getting overloaded with learning curves.
