I tried it late last night, the sim is getting better and better. Yak-1 is much better fighter than the LaGG-3, but I only flew it for a very short time to judge anything properly. I don't know what has happened to see the comments above, but I personally quite like the thing :oops:

I haven't flown it in a while. The main problem I have with it is the damage model. It feels too simple. Other than that, I could like it very much.

This I a highly subjective subject. I think the sim has lots of potential. I enjoy popping in and seeing it improving all the time. I also, despite the texture argument, find it to be better looking than Clod on several occations, although Clod still has many aspects in which it excels.

Depends upon what you want I guess.I am not a ww2 pilot, so it will be hard for me to rage over the flight model as long as the AC inhabit the general charactertics their known for.

I for one think BOS looks, sounds, and feels great. I'll leave the rest of the jugdement till when its out in full.

I'll be playing and enjoying both sims, and the money spent on them is probably less then 5% of what I spend on beers and brylcreem anyways;)

Each to his own I guess.
