WTFG HTC crew!
You guys reign supreme. The 1st time I jacked up the throttle on the PT, it felt like driving a Cigarette boat! I pushed my CH throttle forward and pulled away from the dock... whoo hooo, hehehe. Weaving around the carrier group is impressive. Hats off to the art dept. (ducks well thrown cod)
Last night I got a chance to get up for a few sorties. I found myself sitting in the tower watching an attack. The explosions, fires, smoke, clouds, falling bombs, different ack fire, planes taking off, diving, not pulling up in time, oooooh me. I think your getting the hang of this sim thang y'all.
A few bugs to be squished, film dumps me, but 1.05 completes the toy-set. Army, Navy, Air Force. Cool scenario terrains like 10Bears 'Luzon'. Not even the great WB scenarios will have player driven carrier, land vehicles and player made terrains with all attributes easily set. AH is now scenario central for serious players.
Showed 1.05 to a buddy. Jumped into the big gunnery position on the carrier (8in?). I cranked up to about 4 miles and fired at a passing island. Then I lowered the sight and zoomed in to see it hit. About 10 seconds later it hits the water waaay before the island. Wow, sez me bud. Up I crank to 10 miles, boom, back down to watch. A loong time later, a beautiful splash. Sooo cool, he drools. I go for it, crank it all the way and fire. We zoom in and try not to take our eyes off the screen. Finally, boom, we hit the beach! My bud goes 'scoot over', heheh.
I won't argue the wisdom of Dogfighter awarding WB sim of the year for... er... going flat rate?
I'll just say that for the 2nd year in a row, Ace's High is the best sim to me. Thanks for your hard work.
Cya up...Braz
