I'd always had a passing interest in WW2 aircraft, and the price was less than I was expecting, so I thought "what the hell....."

If I'd known I'd be still playing it 6 years later, spending lots of time thinking about it and talking to other people about it on the internet, I would probably have stayed well away......

It was only supposed to be 5 minutes of brainless fun.....

LOL.. when I started simming i refused to spend more than $20 on a joysatick... now?



You can't see the TIR.. but it is there...
