WB looks very odd after riding around in AH

Yeah there's no going back to the WB cockpits once you've done AH for a while.

It's not only the superb cocpits. Loadouts and their modeling, generally FM's are quite good for my taste.

For me the most glaring difference is the ground. The WB ground textures are pitiful, and the terrain is very "pointy" and lacks subtle contours. The textures are in particular annoying because they are not nearly as helpful for NOE flying as in AH.

This one is also big issue. Ground looks much better and it is easier to judge your alt in low flying just by looking the texture details. Of course we need detailed terrain since the tanks will be in the game shortly! I can hardly contain myself!

However, the WB icons are still much better than the God-awful 200-foot flying neon billboards in this game...

Yep... icons are otherwise quite ok but when the range is indicated in three digits (666 for example) it is very difficult to judge the closure rate because all the numbers change so fast. I'd prefer 0.x presentation.

Tried WB again because i wanted to see what 2.75 was like .. fired up my trusty 'ol HOG and got up .. wanted to take a look back at the field on climb out and ....

Saw a freacking wall right behind me that obscured everything .. all my head bending didn't do anything  

i deleted it after that

Maniac, this is on topic. It's an Aces High love fest.

I don't think this is a WB slam I think it's just some guys pointing out that they finally like AH over WB.

I see alot of I like this part of AH better but this part better in WB and visa versa so it's not much of a slam. IMHO

Now being off topic welllll....

This is not a wb slame. I still use wb in the backroom with some of my friends....'Cept it ain't allowed out on the server any      more. Aces higH is the only sim on the big serverthingy and until they really screwup bad, they'll be there for some time. Kewl!

Dont get this wrong guys, i have no problem what ever against comparing the good vs bad parts in different sims BUT when this was done over at AGW (WB board) some crybaby from AH posted in here about WaaHaa! im sick of the AGW people slamming AH waahaa! (or something like that) and the only thing you could find on AGW at time was fair arguments about WB against AH. . .

So if we are gonna do this then please dont squeak about other boards doing the same but from another stand point
