With the downfall of companies like Microprose, Jane's Combat Simulations, and Spectrum Holobyte the field of combat flight simulation has been somewhat bereft of winners - often falling to the hands of lesser-skilled, indie developers. Coupled with the fact that Microsoft ditched the ACES team responsible for their line of Microsoft Flight Simulator line of civil aviation simulation and things were looking pretty bleak for us armchair pilots.

Can't wait to get this. I was lucky enough to get a free copy of Black Shark from Igor when I ran in to him in Orlando. Great guy.
