I downloaded the wc prophecy demo and enjoyed it very much. It's a hell of a
lot of fun to play.

One problem I had was with my Thrustmaster rudders (RCS). I can't seem to
get them calibrated for WCP. The only other problem I have had was with
Longbow 2.

My friend brought over his CL Voodoo2 card and once the game had bveen
patched it looked, played and feeled absolutely incredible. Even without the
V2 card it's silky smooth on my P2-300.

I will be buying hte game based from my impressions of the demo.

Cheers,

David...
