I fly in the virtual world of Warbirds III. This is an on line game where people fly WWII ventage aircraft. I think most people who do this are over 30 with a lot of real pilots participating. I think 1/3 of my virtual squadron members are current pilots. IEN goes to a lot of trouble to get the flight models right. And yes the Val is not an easy aircraft to deal with. It can out manuver any allied fighter but just doesn't have the firepower or speed. You learn you can't dogfight it at low altitudes. If you are interested in that sort of thing, take a look at WBIII on the internet. The participation is world wide.

I got into European Air War a while back. Found out real quick that I "lose" my targets too often. Colorblind does not make for easy plane tracking against the ground. That and I wasn't a very good pilot. Still do ok against the AI but multiplay was a disaster for me. Did a lot better as a Tanker in Panzer Elite. I became very very good at the ambush.
