American planes porked by that Commie again.

Are you joking? American rides are great.

The P51s really are the cadillac of the skies. The P38 has incredible zoom. The P63C is a P39 on crack. Can you say 1800HP + 37mm?

The P80 is also very fun to fly.

Ace Expansion Pack is golden... I'm going to have loads of fun once some more AEP rooms open up in Hyperlobby.

Oct......soon as I get a map setup on IL2FB....I'll be online.

Is ther anything I need to download from UBI to facilitate the online gaming experience?

AEP's about the most excellent flight sim I've seen these days.

Aside from a few quirks, it's terrific.

Yup AEP is uber

Hajo, I don't quit follow

Everything you need comes in the box at the moment. A patch is in the works that will add a few more a/c.

Have you ever used hyperlobby?

Get the client and follow the instructions to set it up. Neat little gathering place... and it's never empty.

Don't bother with Honky, he's a tard. Just reads the UBI tard boards and recites their tard comments because its the tard gospel which all tards like himself must follow to achieve ultimate tardism.

Only two gripes with IL2 FB - only 32 planes to a room in hyperlobby and there seem to be only 3 rooms with full realistic flight model on......ok 3 gripes in sim vox sucks.....

Wish that the boys from Maddox, AH and FA get together and set up the Monster Sim - hell I'd pay for the best all three could bring to the party.....

AKS\/\/ulfe · « **Reply #11 on:** March 09, 2004, 11:57:35 PM »

FA? Well, really - there isn't anything that development team can bring that Maddox and HTC couldn't do together.

IL2's eye candy would kill any mmog, FA's on the other hand works if you have a reasonably decent machine and they have a good selection of a/c from all 5 major combatants.

So I'd take

IL2's gunnery and flight model
AH user interface (cockpit views especially) and mapping ability
Fa's plane set and eye candy

wish we'd get complex engine management in AH2 and no icons for enemy a/c and no map icons......have spent a week in IL2 with Big Isles being on in MA - Greater Green has more peeps online than CT does these days.

Why? At the moment, AH2 beta needs a faster computer to run at the same frame rates as IL2FB. IL2FB runs great even with a 1.5GHz rig using medium-high settings. Atleast on my P4-2.53GHz/Radeon9700Pro, AH2 doesnt run as well. Sure, its a beta, but still!

I dont buy this "good graphics = bad mmog" ticket. Does IL2FB simply have a much better optimized graphics engine than most other flight sims? Combined with HTCs network code...that would rock...

Not trying to **** on your game (FA), but... their eye candy really has nothing on Il2's, Il2:FB's or especially AEP's. Basically in every department - especially the 3D models of aircraft.

I'm not really up-to-date on FA's planeset, but I believe that while AEP doesn't have a few of the popular planes (mostly Pacifc - F4U, F4F, Ki27, Ki43 and a few others) - it still has a vast selection... many that you'll not find anywhere else.

Thats why I think it would only be HTC and Maddox combined to create the ultimate WW2 MMP game.
