I was thinking last night as I went to bed after 1:00am for the XX night in a row that perhaps I have an addiction - hmm - I knew this about a year ago. I've flown the demos of EAW, Janes (WWII and a few Jet versions), Ace's High (open beta), 90 days of Fighter Ace and a few others. Really I've kept an open mind but I just can't let SDOE go. There is something about it that says "just one more mission".

I won't get into a debate about which is better because I really can't make a true comparison having only flown the demo versions of WWII and EAW - I have Flight Simulator 2000 (I took it off my harddrive after two months of it holding space without use - perhaps it set my expectation for MS combatsim ).

If anyone asked me if I thought SDOE was worth the 50 bucks - let me think - 14 months * 20 days a month (give or take)* 3 hours per night = $0.06 per hour. And every hour I play it gets cheaper. Cool. I have never experienced a game that kept my interest so high for so long. I've bought a few games since but most get little or no action after a few weeks. (compare to Fighter Ace (which I had gotten bored of a year ago) @ $15.00 CDN per month * 14 months =$210, or Ace's High @ $45.00 CDN / month =$540. Let alone the hourly rates). I have gotten my money's worth.

To Parsoft/Inertia and MH and Mighty - Thanks a million for a great game that keeps getting better. The last week online has been one of the best I've had since I bought the game. We're running up to 12 player missions and continuous play. Sure we still have the desktops and lag but what game has ever been perfect and free of lag problems?

I did buy em all. A few FA2 subscriptions and time in the AH beta, EAW, Nations, MSCFS, WW2 fighters, Mig Alley, Falcon 4, probably a couple others if I look under the couch.. SDOE is the only one out of the bunch that kept me captivated for more than a few weeks let alone over a year !

Every time I try and quit, someone gives me some free stuff (SE5a, Jug, 109's, ships) it is hopeless I tell ya.

I will not give up my SDOE until SDOE 2 (Project X)

Thanks to all who have made this the best Sim ever.

I really hope that MH will finish that magic patch someday. But, even without a patch - it's unbelievable what you can do with this sim !

But i´ve read some rewiews of it, and theywe given FS/SDOE about 70 points out of 100..
but im a REALLY big fan A-10 Cuba, wich i still play over network with my friend, so i have really big hopes for this!
and i bet its better than they say =)
