Yes, lots more keybindings. I don't have a mouse wheel so the map is very hard to use. I would also prefer to use the Manta via keyboard. In fact I much prefer to the ability to set all keys how I like them, i.e. not use 1-9 for vehicles but to use F1-9 etc..... the abilty to choose is what will be bettererest.

thanks Max, it is the P&C Supporters Beta. I suppose I should have tried to find this out before buying but how often will there be updates?

I thought as this was a Beta I would put my first impressions down. I remember CC from my Amiga in around 1988, what a great strategy game it was, so I was really pleased that there was going to be a new version using the full power of modern computers the concept of paying for a Beta was novel, but if it gets a game out then OK I'm in. It also sets my expectations, I know the game will crash! That said I recently bought Wargame, European Escalation and that crashes too, perhaps they should have copied the Beta Idea! So anticipation rising I paid and downloaded the game, the tension was rising! Then I installed it, I was on the edge of my seat, for the first time in over 20 years I was going to play CC! ALERT ALERT! AVG virus has found a virus WIN32/Heur! Bugger! Stop everything. Email support. The next morning an email was back saying it was just a heuristic check and a false alarm. So I made an exception on AVG and got on with it. It installed. It started. Oh wow this was going to be great! The mouse went sluggish on the opening screen, so I turned the graphics down. Then for the moment, new game. Oh wow, the graphics are beautiful, the ship looks lovely, the walrus goes through the water with splashes on the screen (really nice touch!), the manta flies well, sluggish and hard to get right, just like it should be. So I crashed both (ooops) tried to fire missiles (still haven't worked that out) and generally worked out the other controls, they are very natural, nice. So I set off to the first island, into time warp and locked up. Oh well it is a beta. Restart........
