I'm sure they will be able to fix you up.

Thanks BF, turned out it was my USB keyboard interferring with it.

Swapped it with a Ps/2 keyboard I had laying around. Problem solved.

Axis is better. I love that German Rifle, just like my Mauser up home. And its accurate, so It makes up for my wretched aim.

Get use to the 64 limit

Eh, deleted it.

Just cant get into it. Im sure if I gave it more of a chance and joined up with others it'd be fun but I dont have the patience - and the controls are just plain wierd.

Same verdict when I tried it two years ago... awesome concept - horrible delivery.

The game does require patience to learn before you really get into it, but then Ace's High can be the same way too. Neither are instant action games.

Those links I listed will help you a lot if you desire to put forth the effort to read them.

jetb123,

Minimum requirements:
1ghz
Geforce3 or equivalent
256RAM

Recommended:
2ghz

As long as you don't pretend to be flying in that game, you'll have fun.

Wow, it's interesting how polarizing the FM and DM in WW2OL is. I think they're both pretty good compared to AH, while others think they're horrible.

Best thing to do is try it and see if you like it. But you should allow a month to get used to it, because it is different.

I would give you the benefit of a doubt if I hadn't tested it thoroughly.

There's absolutely NO WAY a plane that was just doing strafing passes on troops and that just drained all energy in a high G turn catches up with another that was doing its maximum speed after a 45 degree dive... much less in 2 seconds. I would blame it on poor SA on my part... if I hadn't consistently repeated the situation.

I may not know how a warbird from that era flies, but I do fly in real life, and I have soloed in close to 15 different airplanes now, including several vintage and 2 advanced aerobatic ones, and let me tell you, WW2OL FM "just doesn't feel right".

AH 2 does definitely have its flaws, but at least I can apply the logic of real life flying.

LOLOLOLOLOL...

Did you remember to tell them that if you bomb above 3km your bombs disappear into oblivion. Thats right folks... the reason an HE-111 bombs on the deck is because above 3km (10k ft) the bombs don't work, the server can't track them.

banana: its not "polarising", its a FACT the WW2OL DM is only half done. The most glaring hole in it is the complete lack of any stress damage, hence bombers can pull G's way passed what they historically could.

The FM is awful, the floppy rudder input is ridiculous and defies physics, the E retention on some aircraft is crazy, the 109s are too slow and don't even compress like they should. If you read the historical reports for the 109s and P-39s they fly nothing like the documented reports by the RAF, LW, test pilots etc.

well, the airplanes isn't the reason I started playing again.

The ground war is really fun.

I'm having hell getting any rank though.

Cyrano and Vulcan, I see your points and I don't dispute them. I've seen the same things you have.

But, let's talk about taking off and landing. Are you trying to tell me that the ridiculously easy take offs and landings in AH are realistic? Or that they are done better than WW2OL?

I just don't buy it. When I take off in WW2OL, I have to use judicious inputs of the throttle and the rudder to get a smooth takeoff. Are you claiming that the "Firewall it and forget it" way in AH2 is more realistic?

And then there's landings. In AH2, it's very difficult to scrub off speed as you come in to land, whereas in WW2Ol, if you reduce throttle and increase to max RPM's, that helps slow you down and allows you to deploy flaps & gear without having to perform flat turns to scrub off speed, as I always seem to have to do in AH.

And what about the sensation of speed when down low? Surely you don't claim that AH does a better job than WW2OL in this regard?
