not sure that the new content is worth it but the wider implications, eg having a standard version for online play, being able to download the next two pay for add ons (which sound more interesting to me) etc might make it worth it. I know that we can get round Boonty and the version issue for onlin...

Why do they keep making these keyboards with non standard layouts! (MS and Logitech are both guilty of this). I'm refering to the keys above the arrow keys. It should be: [Insert][Home][PageUp] [Del ][End ][PageDown] For now I'm sticking to my old Microsoft Natural keyboard, but I would like to upg...

Having played a few missions the only things that have cropped up are that so often for no apparant reason the game goes really jerky but if I quit out and go back in again its fine. The other thing is that it is a bit of a pain that if you get killed you can re-fly the mission but even if you are s...

I have installed and patched and played a couple of CFS3 missions and the first thing i thought was how good IL2 really is!.

My car at the time had an 8tra...

The 2nd series is airing in the UK at the moment (Sky One 9pm tuesdays) and I sedate the kids to minimise the chance of disturbance. I think its great but the funny thing is that when the first series was shown it got a lot of hype and build up. With the second series it was barely announced before ...
