Links could use better colour than blue on blue background.
Annoyingly slow download speed, I wish this would be available as a .torrent.

Argh, 6 KB/sec. ~10 hours...

Thanks to BlackSheep, I am finally getting it. I'll be putting it up as a torrent download in a way or another so you can get it faster than this.

@Greco: already answered in the IFH Forum...the prob is your hardware

@ ASHRAK: try to stay close to the beam...when you drop below 50%, just stop and go until you are in the middle of the two nodes. It helps, when you turn slightly in the direction of that funny %-meter...

I thought IFH would be the game B5 community needs but my hopes were trashed quickly. It's a good beginning but definitely needs improvement almost in all areas of gameplay.

Flight model needs improving, it's kind of cranky as it is now. I have played several games with (semi-)newtonian physics and it's just little too difficult to get into this. But I suppose it is as it should be, a decision of design. Although that will drive many away from the game, and frankly it's not a wonder.

General feedback could use little improvement as well, as it is now, following what happens in the mission is kind of difficult. At the moment it just feels confusing it it's just trying to focus on the enemy fighter in hopes that wingmen can do their job. (obviously not)

Also, dialogue log needs improving as well. It should be clearly visible where a comment starts and ends even during missions. At the moment the log is tangled and thus little difficult to read.

Also, the training part. Usually the instructor just kept going and going, didn't let much time to actually think it over what he just said. Also, at least once or twice the instructor told me to do something and I was wondering how the hell I was supposed to do that, then went to check control configs, "oh, Ctrl-A toggles autopilot, nice for the instructor to leave that out".

But this is a good beginning nevertheless. All the feedback from the prequel should help IFH devs to make big improvements to the final game. At least I hope so.

Now I wonder how I can jump to normal space from hyperspace. I quitted the training after the freighter blew up in hyperspace, it was really nice for the autopilot to threw me quite far from hyperspace route, thus I never get back to Sol beacon. Speaking of missions, perhaps I should even finish that first mission of the prequel campaign sometime.
