I know the frustration.. but I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that this will probably take a couple of years to sort out, not months..
Luckily my gaming life.. (as opposed to the real one..lol) has other flight sim games to play on, so this old girl can plod along as is.. I'll be there to try out all the patches etc until it comes right..
Still have to say though, there are times this thing has moments of sheer brilliance as well as the frustration of other things not working.. but it doesn't rule my life, it's only a game, and I can wait.. There's real life and death issues out there I deal with on a regular basis.. this is no biggy as things go..
