I got my copy today, WOO HOO! Man, finding SF on the shelf is like winning the lottery. Thankfully I am a frequent customer at my local EB, and the manager knows me by name. They had some stashed in the back of the store, the manager gladly gave me a copy when I asked for it. I have not installed yet, but it looks fantastic!

As far as MP goes, the manual says LAN or GAMESPY only!? Say what!? I hope they add IP to IP soon in a future patch. :(

Nice screens Viper. We should give this a whirl Monday night, or Sunday if you are online.

Hmph. It always amazes me that game designer's never get the horizon quite right. Its very rarely such a straight line...much more blended. And if you're near a city, it'd be great to have the visibility start out close, then expand as you climb. Just tidbits....

I am trying to figure out how we can connect on MP. The MP choices in the game are LAN only. Hmmmm? I guess we will have to wait for the MP patch. The sim is fantastic! I was tasked with taking out a Tank Battalion at the FEBA. So cool flying over the tank battles, and if you are low enough, you can hear and see tank cannons firing. I had some cannon pods on all of my hardpoints, but for some reason, one fell off my wing and I could not fire any more rounds? I am guessing I had a weapons malfunction, but I'm not sure if that is modeled.

Here are a few shots I snapped:

Oh, and that little Radar box in the top right corner, I have no idea how it got there nor do I know how to turn it off. Viper, any ideas?

Sorry all - I refuse to install GameSpy, so I am out on any MP session of this game until something like ASE gets it to work or they get direct ip to ip gaming going...

It do look nice dough! :D
