I just got this game at GOG and while it looks promising I've had a few problems with it:
1. I have Windows 8 and after installation I right clicked on the .exe hit properties then put it to Windows XP compatibility and nothing it still CTD, then I tried Windows 98/ME compatibiity and BAM it worked!!
2. Got it working, BUT I hit preferences and a box shows up with all the video options, yada, yada, yada but I can't use my mouse to click on anything I had to use the arrows on my keyboard and even then I still couldn't find where I could go to get my flightstick going!!
3. ONce in the cockpit the only way I could move around was to use my mouse I mean VIEWS, clicking the cockpit, etc, you name it!! I can start the engines and everything in there clicks/works beautifully, just really I need my flightstick and if possible get my pedals to work, let alone I don't think TrackIR will work!!!
The good thing is it comes with a manual that I"m still reading, I just figured like in all games there is a quickstart and a fast way to just get your controls set-up and take it for a test drive, but it's not happening here as of yet!!
I have Janes F15 and F/A 18D and really those two are some of the best sims out there and pretty much blow everything nowadays away!! I was hoping this sim was somewhere close to those but so far not even close!!
