Guys the same day I purchased CLoD , just a few days ago, I also purchased Wings of Victory. Now both sim are installed, and have not really done much in the way of flight actually in either one yet - but my focus at this time is to get some controls mapped and start doing some flying with CLoD,
I have not been real impressed so far with Wings of Victory - granted I have not really done any flying it as of yet, but the menu interface seems clunky, and I had big problems just getting the correct resolution set for my monitor and the game would not crash when trying to load up a training mission. Setting the game resolution as my monitor's resolution did not work, I had to go in and manually pick the resolution, and even then - looking at 1920x1080x32, it offered like 5 differnent choices all saying the same thing - 1920x1080x32. Very confusing. Even after I got it successfully set, the 3d graphics still look kind of rough to me, it is supposed to be 1920x1080 but dang it almost looks lower resolution to me...
Then, regarding Track IR, finally figured out through trial and error, I had to go in and edit a file to actually turn Track IR on in the game ,no in game menu option for this, and now that it is working some axis seem to be reversed, ie my head leaning left results in the opposite reaction in the game, it leans right... but look left does equal look left - sigh.
I thought maybe I could get some quick and dirty simpler flying in with Wings of Victory as I prepared for the more complex CLoD, but got really frustrated with BOB2 just trying to get it set up to run properly. My main focus is now on CLoD, I am sure it will have some frustrating moments, but I certainly had no trouble so far with the menu interface, getting it to run at my monitor's resolution, and Track IR working properly...
Perhaps at a point later in time I might revisit launching Bob2, but for now I have a bad taste in my mouth regarding it.
