Soup,

Get yourself online via hyperlobby with as much full setting as you are use to, it takes it up a complete other level .

I love the look of Il-2's cockpits but one thing to keep in mind is that there are a lot more techniques available to enhance the aesthetics when you're dealing with a fixed head position vs a moveable one.

I do agree that our effects are dated and lacking, but that's the next thing that Sudz will be working on.

Wow.

AH2 vs FB+AEP+FB...

All I see here is personal taste being declared as why one is better than the other.

Well whatever, a lot of these arguments are brand loyalty and really nothing else.

"These skins are better, no these are", user made vs stock.

Show me an AH2 user made F4F4 that looks like this:

!!! - go Sudz

The head-on-stick model allows the artists to only render what is viewable from one angle (fixed head pos). That leaves not a whole lot (or as much) to be rendered correct?

The fixed head positions is a big turnoff for me and many others. ( Furious)

F4U-1A looks good as well. This is 'default' btw.

Hey I still fly... the cockpits arent big enough for SOB to do his thang though. Maybe the B25 is roomy enough.

AKS\/\/ulfe · « **Reply #82 on:** November 01, 2004, 08:41:15 AM »

The B25 even has a love shack in the nose.

Hmmm, that gives me an idea for a skin....

cockpits to start..

I like the fact the planes/objects are larger than a dot in FB/AEP

you can take a licking and keep on ticking

there is a variety in the online server selections

Some people are like that when they change jobs also, they'll keep running the old mob down to anyone that still works there . It's like "look at me - I found something better, I can't believe you guys are still working for that bunch of idiots , how stupid are you !"

Usually you find out they really aren't happy at the new place , they just need us to think they are.

it's a funny world [/B]

It's only a game or games. You guys make it sound as if it's your life and your upset because someone says your game is out of date and something new is better in one way or the other.

Actually, I've hardly played anything since I left AH almost a year ago other then FS2004 over VATSIM and recently a little RTW. The only game I'm really looking forward to and will make the time for is SH3.

Some of us are too busy with life (work,gf's,flying,racing) to be worried about next versions of their favourite game or getting upset when someone calls it the way they think it is.

Upset no , don't actually give 2 hoots, just bemused that someone can carry such continuing resentment over a game they don't even play, it's almost kinda "stalker" creepy.

I played Il2, good game , quite liked it, just didn't like the Multiplayer as much as AH.

But strangely I don't feel the need to go to their BBS every two weeks and tell them their multiplayer is crap and AH's is much better.

But hey , we're all different, see you in a couple of weeks

Err I didn't start this thread. And I've never started a thread saying IL whatever is better then AH or vice versa.

After almost 3 years decided to close my account, just wanted to say thanks to all that have made AH such a fun experience. I never did get around to installing AH2 pretty much due to a lack of interest in the new release. Plus with two jobs,flying,racing and a new girlfriend, leaves little time for anything else.

Like to thank all those Rooks that have become good friends over the years, especially to BFD,Ghstdncr,Pyroman and Concho who originally helped me out when I was new and introduce me to a great squad.

Also thanks to the many foes that have helped me gain over 12,000 unspent perks and especially to Twitchy and AKAK who always gave me the best of fights and most of all a good laugh.

AH as a game is ok,as a community it's one of the best.

And all the best!

Usually I find it's best to actually install a game to get a feel for it , historically I've found the un-installed ones don't go so good

Call me crazy or call me a fan boi but from IL-2 onward to now I have played both AH and that series...Both give me something different and at some point in the future only one will live on the hard drive. Depends on several things as to which one makes it that long. The defining line is beginning to be blurred between AH type games and boxed sims....only time will tell which one gets better.

Pacific Fighters looks like good addition to IL-2/FB Gold Pack, but not for $40. I think I'll wait until it matures more and then packs in some more goodies and sells for $20.
