I picked up a copy of Il-2 Sturmovik--forgotten battles, which sells for only $14.00, and could not stop to admire the great special effects, such as engine smoke, real cockpit vibration, and so many other effects. But what cought my attention is the great improvements that flight sims have made in ground textur--without an fps penalty.Pick up a copy and enjoy the great planes, especially for landing and takeoffs.tony

Yes I picked a copy some time ago and agree with your comments.It is a bit addictive.
