As for whos gonna print and read the manual, I will, already printed it and already reading it. But its a study sim so its not supposed to be easy and the learning curve is what its about otherwise we'd all be playing HAWX lol! Dont worry I've been playing for a week and a half and have a long way to go learning things so practice makes perfect, you'll get it! Lots of great people here to give advice to you and if it still frustrates you the sim does have scalable difficulty settings but wheres the fun in that.:pilotfly:
