800MB DL, I'm sure most of that is the Channel! 2.5 hour download/install here with my cable connection... Just a heads up!

Are there any screenshots of this plane with the extra modifications and guns? Just wondered if we can get that upper gun station.

Got it but not sure how to use it. I see it in the editor but not in the game.

[snip of the patchnotes] : ~ 6. AI fighters now stop pursuing when they can't overspeed their target in chasing 7. Experienced AI figther leaders now waiting for laggard wingmen and even fly back to straggler if waiting was not helpful 8. AI leaders now keep throttle a bit lower than 100% in climb to allow wingmen to keep formation 9. Balloon attack pattern of AI fighters was improved ~
Finally. FINALLY. Waited for a year to read this. All they need to do for me to spend money on RoF again is give me a switch or slider to lower the accuracy of the AI rear gunner. 8O Please... please let this be true. This is what's been killing the career mode for me. I can't wait to be able to actually keep up with the flight now... *patches*

Tried my first MP in over a year and am having sound issues. Guns and engine sounds come and go. Anyone else having these issues?

Got funds together and buying the channel map but should I go for the new big float plane or the Brandenburg?

The flying boat actually flys quite well which is alittle surprising--it outflys the crap out of the German seaplane. There were also some additional "options" selected in the Option section that I had not activated...had to clean 'em out.
