Bloody hell! I thunked this sim was dead and buried - I threw the CD in the
trash about 6 weeks ago.

Hehe, that'll teach you to be tidy ;-)

Maybe you could give your infinite improbability drive a particularly strong
cup of tea and see if it re-appears :-)

I guess those Fjords will just have to wait...

Thats a shame - I for one preferred EF2000 to TAW. Far more interesting
plane and the F22 will not perform half the role that was featured in TAW.
At least EF2000 was quite realistic.

There's a preliminary hit list here

Hi Nats,

If you still have a copy give it a try, you won't be as disappointed as you
think ;-) Just crank up your Direct3D settings to full for FSAA and
Anisotropic filtering and it still looks quite good for its age.
