There was a USB interface issue early on. I had it when I purchased a Windows 8 laptop last Xmas but this had been addressed a few updates ago. As previously said it's good as gold now.

well finally got myself a new lap top and all I can say is (BLOODY QUALITY) really impressed with how it deals with phoenix combined with being connected to my 42in hd tv via hdmi lead. Cannot believe I have not done it before now, finished work this morning at 10 home on sim at 10:30 !!!! switched off at 13:30 !!!! jesus time just flies by when ya having fun and here is to more hours spent on sim while waiting for this shocking weather to do one.
