I just got mine today (15sept01) Its been to long for me since I played the original so I couldn't compare yet.

But I did load it up and took the F/A18 for a cruise and it has the same drop dead saaweet graphics and runs smooth, make that real smooth at 1024x768

The box that it came in has got to be one of the neatest sim boxes out there. Inside you will find the CD-jewel case and one instruction manual (just like before)

but no fold-up quick key card, its on the CD via .PDF file, blah!! but I still have the
original GREEN manual and on the back of that is your key board selection.

I don't know if there are any changes to the current key-board selections but the ones that I tried from the back of the original
manual did work correctly.

I will be making up a printable quick key card (MS-Word) if one wishes to have it.

oops, I forgot to say the price, its $45.00
which shocked the heck out of me as I thought
that it was just gonna be $29.00.

Happy flying............

One more item, the HUD has no distortion
on my GeForce3...

At last a cockpit that is from top to bottom
totally readable.

Yeah what's up with that price? I saw it today and went huh? Is it any different than hornet korea? Is there ANYTHING about it that justifies buying it at that price if you already own hornet korea and use a voodoo card?

as far as I can tell its pretty much the same sim...but I just got it and I have not spent any real time with it yet.

Heres a shot using 2X-anti.a.



the reason why its not used on the other shots is I just installed the latest drivers
for my G3 last night and I forgot to go back
into the settings and make the appropriate
changes.

side-note** DAMN terrorists have me not thinking clearly all week and right now
