Hi all, I got this game a few days ago and I'm still trying to figure it out. Fortunately for me that's half the fun! I've already gotten two friends to buy it and we're going to hook up soon for some multi player fun.
Fortunately for me, one of my friends is an aeronautical engineer so when we have questions about what to do and why he knows the answer off the top of his head. A real great resource for learning to fly in this game.
One thing I would like to see but I doubt it would be added, is the concept of a next/back button combination for three position or greater switches, as well as the non-potentiometer dials. This is causing me come concern with my project as I'm making a small pcb with a PIC so I can make the PC think it's a keyboard, and then I hook switches and buttons into it to issue keyboard commands.
In short it's a piece of hardware I can use to make a cockpit at home. But no matter what it seems I always have to follow the sequence of movements in the game that all the controls make, it's kinda frustrating.
Anyhow, great game! I look forward to the A-10 product as well.
