Arthur, what is your feelings about having to "unlock" items in single player for use in multiplayer? I just cant see that it is a good idea. The PMs on the BoS forum dont give me any hope.
Things seem a bit hectic on their forum, what with the "unlock" applying to Multiplayer and the SE server support withdrawn. To be honest I havnt started the game for some months now and I will wait until its finished before making my mind up.
It feels really solid and with an extension its very precise. The throttle has lots of buttons but not enough rotaries so you will need trim and pitch levers.
