In light of all of the bugs and issues of patch 1.08, i was wondering if it is worth upgrading the sim? I am totally satisfied with the 1.07 version. What do you guys think? Should i upgrade or what for the next patch?

In one word, yes due to Air-to-Air Refueling.

But you know about opinions.

I'd say it's worth it just to benefit from fixes and obvious error corrections - I agree there seems to be new issues (or old issues made more obvious shall we say) but overall I think 108's better and I'm not considering rolling back to 107 anymore. I suppose you have that option if you didn't like it, via a full reinstall however.

108 has no show stopppers and refueling is better (I hesitate to say "fixed").

If you have to ask "is it worth it" then you already have your answer...no dont install it

What?

Of course 108 is worth installing *IF* you fly online and *IF* you aerial refuel.

If you do neither, shame on you.

If you never plan to do either, you're in the wrong sim.

The fixes 108 adds and the additions far outweigh the handful of bugs, none of which are showstoppers.


What WW2 Fighter pilots say about Angels and Airspeed:

"Nice job of getting down to the basics - love your choice of a cover!" Col. Clarence 'Bud' Anderson

"I have enjoyed reading angels and airspeed, it should prove good reading for all interested in combat tactics and their application related to the fluid air environment and state of technology in WWII years. All the best as you make it available." - Col. Charles McGee - Tuskegee Airman

NEVER ENGAGE STUPID.

I have it installed, I was just giving my opinion to Pharoah. I guess a better answer would have been "try it...then keep it or go back to the version you were using"

I finally refueled on realistic settings last night. It is still hard as hell and takes 3 or 4 tries but it's doable.
