Re: [OT] FASA is Closing

The computer game is already out. 24 missions, a dozen customizable 
aircraft, and a very forgiving flight model. It's more an 
airplane-based shooter than a flight sim, but its realistic enough 
that real air combat tactics work, and easy enough that anybody can 
fly.

I strongly recommend anyone with a 3d card and a joystick try the 
demo. I bought a Voodoo 5 just to kill the jaggies and make the game 
more beautiful. Its a blast.
