but want to make sure I can handle the game.  Im an avid simmer (for 20 plus years) but I dont have much more then a joystick (with rudder twist).  Would I be able to play the game at anything beyond simple mode or does it require all those extras to control the shark?   
Also, how is the campaign mode?  I like campaigns that if I blow a bridge somewhere it stays blown, that sort of thing...(dynamic mode? ie Falcon 4).   
Thanks in advance.
