CRS in their infinite wisdom just pissed 90% of the flying playerbase off by announcing the P-38, Spit IX, and 190 for Xmas, then not letting them get in game, so theres mumblings by the angry mob over there they might give AH2 a go in the meantime.

Please be nice and show these guys the ropes (and enjoy the pickings!).

I'd try it if I could get my joy stick to work - how on earth do you get it set up the "instructions" are really really bad....

does your stick not work at all or you just having troubles configuring it?

I can't get the keymapper thingy to even see my CHpro usb stick and pedals - works fine in AH, IL2, FA etc etc etc but nada in WW2online. Help would be appreciated.

They do like have fighter planes in there at the moment right?

[TexMurphy]

Ohhh... thought you had problems in AH... I know noooothing of WW2OL... Im from barcelooona...

[Schaden]

Don't worry apparently they'ved removed all planes except the JU52 and there is a "problem" with USB joysticks - enough reasons to stay clear.

You need to use the CH Manager. The game sees USB joysticks just fine.

Head over here since you need some help getting setup.

I just got the Come back and check the new version out email on the 27th....
 I would take another look if they would give me 90 days free to try it out because it takes 4 weeks to get your account resetup properly which the first minute is getting the CC to process properly, "they have figured out how to get billing to work flawlessly of course"
Then 4 weeks to figure out how to not get killed as you spawn from those amazing majically invisible enemies...
Then the last 4 weeks to make up for the release month that never worked and I payed for testing there non working product....

If you gents are having problems, technical, or gameplay look here: 3rdpanzer.rocks.it ; Its the squad I belong too. These guys are an amazing bunch of very helpful guys. If you're playing axis in the evening hours thats usually when most are on.

Don't waste your time in WW2OL not playing with a squad. Get hooked up with one as soon as you can.

mmm apparently my chpro stuff is working through Win XP rather than the control manager and when I try to calibrate through the control manager it says no devices found - how do I tell it to look at the devices ( which are working perfectly btw)

I only say WW2OL's intermission it suck.

I was there the day it went gold. Suked. Finally got it patched and still suked. I have tried it 2 times since then..still suks.

Last time was very recently as I was just looking for a time for when AH got to frustating. The whole interface thing is a mess. Nothing worked right. NO HELP anywhere and the only post I made I got flamed because it was the wrong place. BUT IT WAS THE ONLY PLACE TO POST THAT WAS PUBLIC EVen got flamed by some LTARD

Screw WWIIOnline. It can't scratch AHII and never will. If you want to fly...this is the ONLY place to do it online. The rest , whether its WWIIOnline , Fighter Ace (Fighter Arcade) , IL2 , all of em...They cant get near this.

I think someone's been hittin' the cider;)

They cant get near this.

 That's what they used to say in WB and AW, before AH became a superpower.

 I wouldn't take other games too lightly. It's only a matter of time until someone comes along and takes all the best points of all those games and compiles it into one, into a format that makes sense and actually playable on a PC.

 I've played WW2OL a bit, and some of my squaddies are playing it too. I can definately see why it appeals to some people. If they can establish a more concentrated method of bringing the scattered players together and form it into a succession of tight packed missions and action, it's gonna absorb a lot of people who might not care much about professional knowledge of aircraft or its management, but just want to play a part in a WW2 environment.

 In that game, some moments you can never forget. A long boring march to the next town, and then suddenly an enemy aircraft approaches, and everybody near me scatters. Nobody brought an AA vehicle with him so we're all basically dead.. when suddenly, a friendly aircraft also makes the scene, and starts fighting over our heads. Looking at that fight from near the trees, from an infantry soldier's point of view.. man, WW2 immersion doesn't get any better than that.

LOL you have to be kidding, what mob is this?  I can't see anyone leaving WW2OL to come to AH in it's current form  just because there are some new aircraft  they can't currently play with online.

I played both sims, and plan to keep on doing it in the near future.

AH is a good avsim, and a terrible ground war game.

WWIIOL is a terrible air combat game with a terrible (arguably one of the worst) Flight Model, and an excellent ground war sim.

As it's been said before, two different, very different, animals.

I like them both.

When I want air combat, I click AH.

When I want ground war or CAS missions, I click WWIIOL.

When I want plain fun, I click AH.

When I want immersion and teamwork (both air and ground), I click WWIIOL.

I'm hooked on both...
