Are you serious? Damn. Didn't expect that. I'm in the USA--Central,VA. Gee whiz. I would come up with the postal charges, I mean if they weren't really high. Anyway, just the offer really is beautiful. Generosity is a beautiful thing.

I'm serious mate. It's only going to sit there anyway. I'm in Canberra, Australia. I don't reckon it'll be very expensive to send. Is there some way to send me your postal address privately so the world doesn't see it. I'll check out how much it will cost to send from here.
**Just worked it out nodlew. I've sent you a private message via this forum**

602Sqn.McLean,

I'll see if I can figure out how to send you a PM with my email address. Really, thanks man. I'm kinda unemployed, not ashamed to say it--health problems. So money is kinda tight. I can manage big things--like the new $50 mother board--through force of will, but track ir, I kinda gave up on that. I'm psyched to try it. Gonna try to PM you, never done it on this board before, but shouldn't ultimately be beyond my capacities...

Yes, CoD is looking very good.

I live in the USA and must be one of the very few from the States to have this sim.

I'm going throw the growing pains with CoD.

Is it worth this.

Very much so.

That is if you like WWII flight sims.

Dev's just keep spooning CoD and it will keep getting better.

I am amazed at the damage model in this Sim.

It seems that it's really realistic now. You can hit a spit, and the bullet might - depending on angle and location - actually just puncture the aluminum panels and shoot out the other side, leaving a bullet exit hole.
Next bullet might actually go straight through the wing spar and tear the wing clean off or perforate a pneumatic hose and disable one of the flaps. Or even destroy the mechanical linkage and let the flap fall down unintentionally. I've also witnessed flaps with perforated pneumatic hoses "flap" violently back and forth in the windstream.. Looks very very good!

In this particular image however I hit the spit from 6 o'clock with a strafe of 20mm shells in the wing, completely removed the L/H aileron, destroyed the water cooler, shredded the tire with shrapnel and took out a few machine guns. The spit rolled over and plummeted into the ocean within 20 seconds. I often find myself pausing the game just so that I can review the damage of my opponent. The awesome part is you can switch to this particular plane and experience the results of your own carnage at the receiving end! Pretty awesome if you ask me, and an excellent tool for movie makers!

Gotta say this sim is growing on me nicely!
