F#1 GP was good.  I hear there's some kind of sequal now to it.  Wow, I 
haven't bought an Amiga mag for a year now!!!  I was thinking of selling my 
old issues, along with the cover disks, just as soon as I can relocate the 
where abouts of them all!

I wanted it just for the flight sims, but now I have other plans a head of me, 
the PC idea will now be taking a very long back seat.  Still, by the time I do 
get one, the flight sims would have improved more, and the technology may be 
cheaper, certainly better.

There's one PC flight sim, too expensive at $500, but it has an amazing 
reality factor, right down to atmospheric haze at certain flight levels, AND, 
in rain, the drops actually CURVE around the screen, as if it were a real wind 
shield.  And they curve depending on wind speed too.  Amazing jealousy 
amounts :->

I think VIScorp just want the Amiga Tech, just for their consoles.  I doubt 
there will be anymore Amiga's.

Settlers was one of those games where you'd give yourself just another few 
turns before quitting, and two hours later, you'd still be at it.

That was bad when it happened across prime real estate :-<
