What are you talkin about?  I still have AW installed on my computer lol.  I watch films all the time I recorded during fights and training sessions.  Its a blast.  Have a few screenshots too, especially like the ones I have of the C47 in the FedEx skin lol.

tryed to load AW3 on cd onto father in laws computer, can fly in F5 view ok but when you go into F7 view it puts ya viewable screen into left top corner with only being able to view 1/4 of the view........

keep trying to drag him to AH but he insist he is too old to compete with anyone online :(

Hmmm, wasnt it a problem with refresh rate settings?  I seem to remember changing refresh rate on the video adapter from Optimal to whatever the Standard setting was and it would go away I think.

I used to have a ton of film from AW. All labled with names of the guys I fought in it. I bet I had over 1000 films. I remember one campaign I broke a million points..just before it ended. WHen i went to bed I was shaking from being over-tired from the stress of it. Real good for the ol ticker.  

I really liked the lack of headons in there...it really forced you to gain the guys 6 and kill him the old fashioned way. Ya this game is more realistic, but still...I had more fun in AW...but of course some of that could be it was newer to me back then.

I never was online with AW but I still have my AW v1.5 cd and case here. :)
  It was fun fighting my brother over my null modem link in the days of my 486 sx 50 with 8 megs of ram lol.
