By modern standards, naturally this game seems slightly dated. But ONLY slightly. I own the latest version of MS Flight Sim X, and this game easily matches up to that more modern, regularly patched up engine. If you have ANY interest in WWII flight combat sims, owning this one is like automatic. Flight games are a little to difficult for my tastes frankly, and having tried them out pretty intensely this summer, I think I'm probably gonna let them slide back onto the back burner (maybe my joystick is shite?). But even so, I definitely feel that this was money well spent. If I ever have an urge to fly an old classic WWII era plane, I can always fire it up and have some fun! Definitely worth it!
