Right on!

Yes WWII Online has more people playing at any one given time. BUT  before someone steps in and flames the game for what it does or doesn't do, let me say this. It's no AH or AH2, it is not a "flight sim" it has it's share of issues just like any other MMPOG...Period!!
I am not here to tell anyone to go play WWII Online or any other game. It depends on what you want in a game/sim.

Unfortunately there is just not enough choices when it comes to this genre of games, heck there was a post in here about it. There are a dying  breed, which is a shame IMO. I hate seeing people pack up and leave any game/sim that is already struggling to keep it's numbers and fan base.  One of the main reasons I have always supported HTC, just as all my other posts {well maybe not all, but most} reguarding this game, I call it as I see it. I stated the game and it's community appears to be on a "downward" spirial & is a shame to have this happen to the AH community and most {not all} looked at me like " I was nuts or just whining.  Well, take a look around and tell me again how messed up in the head I am.

Let the man die in peace already.

Dan, your my bud, I dont want to see you leave in the least bit. I've always had fun flying with you.
But if your not having fun your not having fun. AND there is no sense in paying 15 a month to not have fun.
If you don't receive Jesus Christ, you don't receive the gift of righteousness.

Any spare sim time for me since I left AH before AH2 is devoted to FS9 on Vatsim for a Virtual Airline. And it's the most fun,challange that I've ever had from a flightsim.

The online community is great,people recognise and congragulate you on extra effort and learning curve is long and steep.

At the moment I'm trying to learn the steam gauges of a 742 with it's 400 plus switches and 400 page manual. Alloy of fun, though it's going to be ages before I have the skill to take this online.

Plus the graphics,environment ,flight modeling (payware aircraft) are outstanding.

After some years with AH and trying WW2OL the rinse and repeat of online gameplay gets rather boring. I always thought a sim with no guns would be even more boring, but suprisingly I couldn't of been more wrong. Pulling off a almost nil visibilty landing in adverse weather, or flying online with real ATC and traffic in the patern is more of a challance,rewarding and exciting then the best fights I ever had online.

Check out http://www.vatsim.com Vatsim is basically online ATC covering most parts of the globe at a very accurate and professional level. Infact takes quite alot of training and experience before they will let you lose as a air traffic controller at the main hubs on vatsim. Plus alot of the ATC guys are real life ATC as well.

When you have good ATC coverage for the area your in it's awsome and really takes Flight sims to a whole new level of enjoyement. However there are alot of times when Vatsim coverage isn't so great or nonexistent which can be frustrating at times.

Just a great amount of fun to be involved with a virtual airline and flying with real ATC. There are all sorts of Virtual Airlines from Bush pilots,to cargo like FedEx and UPS all running accurate routes and timetables same as real life airlines.

Allot to explain and quite a steep learning curve. For me It's the most fun I've had with flight simming and the nearest thing I've experienced to real ATC and environment.
