Flight model is WACKED!
I really hope they aint done with that part of the game.

I mean you try to pull out of a dive in a spit9 at275mph and it throws you into a flat spin LOL come on.

If that Is realistic please show me the statistics.

Like I said newbie show me the stats.

275mph should be more than enough speed to create airflow to create ample lift under those big old fat wings on the spit LOL.

Not asking for a hoovercraft Just alittle more real.
And If this Is real then I would love to see the stats our how one comes up with the fight models.

Just curious thats all.

In fact the graphics to me look worse than AHI, because I don’t like the ground. But after selecting on some graphic settings that defaulted off, the sparkling terrain at least went away and it runs smoother.
Creamo is right on. It was the same for me. I felt the graphics were better in AHI and was very disapointed. I played with some of the graphic settings (at work so I can't explain in detail what they were). Under setup and graphics there are some detail sliders. I had them set to high detail, but when I moved them to the right (about in the middle) it made a big difference. Frame rates improved and the ground did not look so sandy or grainy. I have a lot more tweeking to do but it is an improvement.

In all seriousness, Daddog, not because he is agreeing with something I said, makes a valid point for new AH2 users. Most like me, know him as a no BS, no agenda for any reason, BBS poster. He has a point.

I ‘think’ the first impression of AH2, with it’s ‘default’ graphics settings,  might be detrimental to new users, because when I first loaded up AH2, it didn’t look right. And I can’t say for sure without uninstalling, and reinstalling to confirm this, but the default settings give a bad impression. Bad frame rates, ‘sparkling ground’ etc. With some experimenting, it came around to AH1 standards, as bad as that sounds. Can someone confirm this?

Until I messed with it, I was really disappointed. Maybe that’s something to look at. Just saying.

Kinda like having Mitsu’s sounds as a common download, not searched by users on the BBS, just a “Addon” of sorts, accessible from the HTC Download page, and advertised.

Obviously, you don't know better because you think stalls have something to do with the speed of the wing or its attitude in relationship with the horizon. That's normal. Many people make this mistake. After all, we've all had stalls from a slow deceleration and with a fairly normal relationship to the horizon. That's about where most discussions on the subject begin and end. So, most people make the mistake of thinking that a stall can only happen if you're flying too slow or if the leading edge of the wing is pointed toward the sky.

Stalls can happen at any airspeed and at any attitude. All that is required is for the wing to exceed the critical angle of attack.

Accelerated stalls can occur at higher than normal airspeeds due to abrupt and/or excessive control applications. These stalls may occur in steep turns, pull-ups, or other abrupt changes in flight path. For these reasons, accelerated stalls usually are more severe than unaccelerated stalls and are often unexpected.
Most of the people you meet in life are like slinkies. Pretty much useless, but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

THIS thread is stupid. Please label it as such so others do not have to waste their time reading it.

Thank you. That is all.
