You may already know this but some people are under the impression that having Steam means you have to be online all the time in single player mode. Not so - you can play offline and only connect to Steam when you want to update or go MP.

Haha...that should be printed on the retail box. Lovely.

Thanks for all your replays. So I'm going to spend some hard earned summer money to a Radeon 6950. Hopefully my PC gets a new lease of life. Also CH Product pedals are on shopping list. It's expensive to be an WWII aviation buff - I should be doing insect collecting or something.:grin:
