Sounds as if it's worth it then, thanks Paul.

I'm with you on the "fly here and shoot this" bit. I even use the mission editor in pretty much all my sims to create missions in which I can just enjoy flying and experience the aircraft.

I like some air combat now and then, but the main reason I started flight simming was to get my hands on the controls of all the stuff I wish I had flown in real life. For me it's first and foremost about flight.

I think the company's store sells a boxed copy of this if I'm not mistaken. If so, I may see if I can order a copy from Czechoslovakia. With my Internet connection, downloading it would be a small career.

Thanks for the feedback Paul!

Cheers!

I've got free flight missions for DCS: A-10C Warthog, DCS: Black Shark, Falcon BMS 4.32, IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 2, and Strike Fighters 2: Europe, Israel, and Vietnam if you're interested.

I'd have to figure out where I can upload them, or e-mail them to you, but I can zip them up if you're interested.

Cheers!

FYI it looks like the fine folks at Hovercontrol (who turn out some great FSX heli realism tweaks) are also working on TOH now:
Hovercontrol TOH light heli tweak

I plan to try it out later tonight but this really gives me some high hopes, great signs that there is a good tweakable sim underneath and that BI devs are working with the folks at HC.
