Soon all that liked the 1.03 FM are gone...

[Maniac]

Am i the only one left that preffered the 1.03 FM against the 1.04?

Am i the only whiner left? <looks around)  

I really miss the "chess of the skyes". Oh man that description of AH (pre 1.04) was sooo good.

Regards.

No maniac you're not alone.   I preferred 1.03 to 1.04 and I'm still around and will be for quite awhile. there are several others as well. I'm looking forward to 1.05.. cant seem to kill a bomber anymore so might as well try killin carriers and pt boats

I love that description! I loved 1.03 indeed ... you could see much more E-fighting. "Chess of the Skyes" very nice, even if in Italian it means an awful thing, LOL

 I liked the 1.03 FM very much. I hated, absolutely hated, the initial 1.04 release but I have managed to adapt to the one we have now.  Whether the 1.03 FM or the 1.04 FM is more realistic I honestlly do not know. I will wait till somone like Badboy releases a study (his will be available soon I heard) and I will not take simple conjecture or comparison to another "sim"s FM as the benchmark as for what should be realistic. In other words, "it feels more like WB's now" does not wash with me nor does it indicate any sense of realism at all. AH models more in the FM.
  But to be honest this topic could have been titled "Soon all that liked the .83 FM, or 1.001 FM, or 1.02 FM are gone..."   Do you have any indication that the change from the 1.03 to 1.04 FM is the reason or is this post serving some other personal agenda you have?

To answer your specific questions:

2) no

To answer the title of your post:  so what?

Liked 1.03 much more than 1.04 FM.

Let's see what 1.05 brings.

FM's are like girls, you get to know the quirks about them, then learn to adjust to them in order to have fun! LOL!

I'm currently flying CFS2, and even with Wells FM patches, I think the FM's truly suck, but hey, I'm enjoying the sim.

I preferred V1.03 models to 1.04, but the evidence provided by many on this board suggested that they were way off from the historical data, so, where do you draw the line between game play and historical?

Personally, I'd rather have it closer to historical when it comes to FM, but I'm willing to make sacrifices for game play.

So what is this post saying?  I'm here for the long haul.  I'm gonna try WW2 online, WB3, etc.  But my main base will be here.  I enjoy the frequent updates, the customer service, the community, my squad, the vehicles, the prospect of the future.

1.03 was more chesslike than 1.04.

I absolutely totally hated 1.04 when it came out. Am used to it now though.

1.03 was nice, gave a lot of plane's a competitive edge they are lacking in 1.04. Although, if 1.04 is indeed an accurate(as close as PCs can get anyway) representation of what these things could do in RL, then I like 1.04 more.

No and no.

It has been clearly demonstrated that the sustained turn capabilities of 1.03 planes were significantly undermodelled.  Tests of 1.04 planes come much closer to historical figures and analytical predictions for induced drag and sustained turn performance.

I liked 1.03, enjoyed it a lot.  But 1.04 is so nice.  Finally we have fighter plane FMs instead of bomber FMs.
