The graphics are dated and the controls and flight model are GODAWFUL. There is no default mapping; even loading the mapping script in my joystick's configuration editor, it doesn't work. Tried manually mapping the controls in the terrible in-game interface, and the airplane is still UNCONTROLLABLE. For reference, I am a professional pilot with plenty of flight sim experience, and I can't even take a plane off without crashing in this game. They simply do not respond to the controls properly, even outside of the mapping issues. After an hour of messing around with the controls and bindings, I still cant even get off the ground. Gave up in disgust and requesting a refund. Don't bother unless you plan to play this game with keyboard only.

I've been waiting to write a review of this sim for awhile. After Team Fusion took over, they began a long journey to improve upon an abandoned game. What they have done is nothing short of a masterpiece. The flight control, engine management, AI improvements, is all there in it's glory. NGL the cannon sounds alone are amazing. I know many people are holding back for the VR support that is being worked on but they are missing out on a fantastic sim. New aircraft are planned in a upcoming DLC (Ya like B-17s, 190s, early P51 and Typhoons?) I'm excited for the B17. To be honest, this isn't a beer and pretzel sim, it's involved and the effort you put in to learn it will be rewarded with satisfaction.

There are multiplayer servers that offer different flavors of fun. One outstanding server is ran by the good folks of The Wrecking Crew where you take part in deciding the fate of the battle of Britain by what you do to win the campaign. https://forums.twcpilots.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=26 check them out and also the ATAG guys https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/ they host events as well.

It's worth it and it's not a dead game.

The is unplayable and too complicated to understand for new player. The joystick settings setup is not even working at all.

Very disappointed.
