but come on, on version 1.0?

There is no way this should really be considered v1.0. Microprose had to push it to v1.0 in order to release it to the Marketplace - personally I disagree with that decision since most reasonable people will interpret v1.0 as a finished product, albeit one that may get some updates and bug fixes. But anyway, that happened, and the consequences are lots of people will buy it and see a partly finished aircraft; whether they know the back-story and the dev team's stated intent to get this up to standard is another question.

Don’t expect massive changes. It’s a welcome hotfix for the flight model, but I think that’s about it.

I couldn't fly a B-17 on a prayer. I am more interested from a historical standpoint. I will generally start in the air and shoot screenshots. I build scale models and both World War I and World War II aviation are my milieu. I build jets, but I don't particularly care for them. I'm still a little 12 year old kid going on 80, I like to blow the props. The model is the Heller 1/72 Polikarpov I-153 kit in the markings of Major Sergei I. Gritsevets who scored twelve victories against Japanese Ki-27s in what is known as the "Nomonhan Incident" in the Summer of 1939.
