My copy arrived today smile

I have an invoice for 49Euro, postage seems to be have been 10Euro. So far Ikarus haven't charged my card........

Just started the sim and spent about 60 mins configuring and then flying around.

The Good

-Setup very easy, nice controls GUI. If you have just one stick Aerofly will configure it for you.
-Graphics are amazing, set to high the terrain looks great with good colours.
-Performance is very good, solid 60FPS.
-Rapid load times,just instant.
-Nice feeling of flight, somewhere close to ROF.
-Great lighting/shadows.

The Bad

-Very few autogen buildings, just flat images on the terrain. This may account for the performance.
-Flight modelling and physics feels nice but there seems to be some strangeness at high control inputs. The 172 pitches around oddly if you pull the stick full back for instance.
-No other planes in the world currently.

Overall I'm having fun with this for not a lot of cash. The terrain looks gorgeous, its not perfect very low down but other than that it surpasses anything I've seen in FSX. The physics are nice but even to my untrained eye some of the flight models seem a little odd if you push the envelope.

Thanks for the heads up.. mine also actually arrived today, just installing now!

I ended up calling the UK number and ordered over the phone. I have a final bill of 47.99 euros. Strange pricing system!
