Lol are you taking the piss?

Still, you're absolutely right that this is only a single data point and I am treating it as such of course.

I thought, though, that it might be worthwhile posting, in detail, the problems a new user is likely to come across so that whoever it may concern can get a guage of just how newbie-unfriendly the game is at the moment.

It's not just the requisite flying and simulation skills required - which are of course steep. What concerns me is all the technical problems I encountered!
