It took them about a year to send me an update (the 1.1) and well, I saw few changes (except that my disk 2 did not occasionally give me a recoverable r/w error). What I would suggest (unfortunately, it's too late for you) but the best one to get now is F-29 Retaliator. Made by the same folks, it's much MUCH better... more responsive and better screen flow (of course, the F-29 Retaliator IS more responsive...) but the game is a HELL of a lot better... and is really great. You go through 4 areas of the world, each with 8 missions, each mission with 4+ different stages, up to 8 total stages. It's really quite expansive and well done. However this game relies on the battle aspect (of course, why else would you want it?) Because of that, I would suggest for a straight flight simulator, the classic one and only FS2, which I still love to play (especially flying through the golden gate bridge) /\/\ofo
