The >simulation is infinitely more fun when one is combating real meat. The only I borrowed the MAC from work and direct connected to my ST. The ST really put the Mac to shame ! When my son ( on the ST ) and I ( on the mac ) pulled up our planes next to each other in formation, I was really broken up, literally. The "other plane" as viewed on the mac screen was terrible, consisting of what looked like a small array of 32x32 bit blocks whereas the on the ST the plane was the now familiar filled polygon shapes. Spectrum really did an outstanding job of making many super improvements! I really enjoy watching my plane fly from an outside viewpoint. Still wish they had an instant replay. Anyway, while your're combating "real meat" , I must continue to battle the computer as my son got fed up with being blown out of the air. I'm glad to here other's enjoying their ST's as much as I am, with Falcon being but one of the top calibre programs available. I recently purchased a copy of "drafix" by Foresight Resources Corp and was astounded by the superb level of quality that this program delivers. I was very skeptical at first, seeing as the price was less than $170 CND ( $135 US ) but WOW! Is it every nice! easy to use, great features. It really vindicates my recent personal purchase of my ST and also my recommendation for a mega 2 in our development lab at work. I can hardly wait to see what else is in store for this machine. THREE CHEERS FOR THE ST and all those who work so hard to support it! HOORAY! HORRAY! HORRAY! George Reimer
