I have this game still new and never played on my shelf. wondering if the mouse pointer works to do stuff in the cockpit, and click things, and if the keyboard works properly for this game? in windows 10 ??? and if there ever was a update/patch?
think I still have a older Logitech 3d pro or something in the attic somewhere. wonder if that would work? i always did want to play it, never got the time/chance.
maybe better to buy the GOG version??
or is it too much of a headache to get it to run properly on windows 10?
any help/advise would be much appreciated, thank you

add/edit, does this version have the promised B-24 with future update from the makers of this?

I just installed it on my Win 10, 64 bit machine, and it seemed to work well enough. I didn't play through a full mission, but I was able to click on things in one of the training setups.

I don't have a logitech controller to check, but there are a few helpful posts here describing how to set one up if you have any trouble.

OK, thank you! I just got it thru GOG. I figured its probably all updated so... well it seems to work ok. hopefully tomorrow I will get my joystick hooked up and assign some commands for it and the keyboard and give it a go, thanks again!

(oh ya, the B-24 was supposed to be in a new version a few years back that they where going to release/remake of the same title, never knew what happened to the project)

seems everything is working good so far. was able to taxi, and take off a few times. I still need to assign/map my keyboard and joystick/yoke better. other than that this game looks to be pretty good for a 20 year old game lol.
later I am going to watch a few videos on it to see for any tips.
thanks again!!

If you're new to the game then you may find my tutorial series useful:
