I bought this game, right after this new 0.2.9 version came out. Absolutely fantastic. "Alpha"? By content quantity - maybe. By quality - it is AAA. My flightstick (Thrustmaster Fox 2 Pro) configures good (did not try hat-switch anything yet), pitch, roll, yaw, throttle - everything okay. Visuals - oh, my... i don't even start. Just go see it. Wow. Difficulty of current mission - fine for me. I die for now before they all do, but that's just me with very little "flight hours" here :)
Thanks for this Game !!
