I did the same thing, but I WAS able to get it to fly. You have to remember that this demo is a work in progress. I believe that it's a really rough beta, especially when it comes to the graphics, which have not been optimized.

Overlooking the graphics, I see a lot of good stuff here, specifically with the details:

1) Flew down low over London and spotted many barrage balloons floating above the city.

2) Was shooting up an Me109 and the evading AI pilot tried to turn to sharply and lost control of the aircraft. He fell into a spin and never recovered (I shot him up before he hit the ground..)

3) Hundreds of aircraft in the air at one time. It was a madhouse of an airbattle.

4) The sounds are fantastic. I believe that "Meatwater" was involved with this sim's sounds.

These are just a few of my observations from that "demo".

What? because of the demo?
It wasn't a Demo, it was a pre-alfa limited bugged version.
But the Beta I fly is very stable and very good. It's a good game.
