Also, don't forget the terrain upgrade. Although at the altitudes you fixed wing chappies fly at it might not be that useful.

Pro it was. And I've got all the terrain/airport packs but wasn't so useful when simulating IMC.

Looks like the US army following this lead as well.

Space Cadets

B*gger, can't get Channel 4 here and it sounds like an interesting program to watch. Especially with all the conspiracy theories that man has never actually set foot on the moon...

Anyone care to tape it and stick it on a server somewhere as a Divx file?

"We've taken a big risk with Space Cadets, and we don't know who will have the last laugh," said Channel 4's factual entertainment commissioning editor Angela Jain.

Mind you, it will be interesting to see how they keep up the pretence. It would be a disappointment if the candidates are total retards.
