Post by PWI just bought Cliffs of Dover for $7.52 from Amazon and it is on
it's way already!!
Sounds like a bargain. At that price nobody can be disappointed and everyone has an
excuse to pick it up. :-) It's not a good sign for the longevity of the project,
but who knows. Perhaps it will generate a lot of money in the way Steam sales can
generate cash for fading projects.
I actually bought MS Flight and Take on Helicopters in the recent Steam sale.
Flight surprised me by looking better than I expected and flying... well,
acceptably.
As someone who always moaned about hardcore sims forgetting to make missions
engaging, the fairly silly missions in light did actually suck me in a little, and
kept my flying right up to the point where I bought Take On.
That thing is hard! Mainly because I'm flying with a mouse because I can't work out
how to get my stick(s) working. I probably haven't tried hard enough, mainly
because flying with the mouse isn't too bad.
Landing with the mouse control is a different matter. Haven't cracked that yet...
possibly because I'm very rusty.
I also downloaded DCS World last week. Nice to get the 25T for free, but I'm still
on strike when it comes to handing over money to Eagle. I can't help feeling
they're taking the proverbial piss with the different versions of existing products.
I'd be more tolerant if the prices were sensible, but they're not, and paying twice
for the same thing winds me up.... says the man who's spent a fortune on iRacing.
Maybe I'm being unfair, and my bitterness over the long wait for an AFM Su-27 has
made me unreasonable. :-)
