"WB3 FMs are imho too immature, something is fishy compared to what we have in WB2.xx"

                      We have some "backwards" forces / masses right now, do to an input error.

                      All already fixed you should be happy next release.

                      In addition the Force feed back has been updated to the force system we use in WB 2.74, this will provide more "feedback"
                      into the whats going on inside the physics model.

Thought you were talking about WW2OL for a moment.

You wouldn't be far off the mark if you were.

Wow! Hotseat finaly managed to write 3 lines without obvious spelling mistakes!

Rip, can you expect more from a person who calls himself an engineer, but can't transfer metric units into imperial?

Looks like they spend more time on blaming "evil russkies" then on WB3 development.

If only Pyro could take his "corporate" hat off and comment on "flightmodel issues" in WB3...

Dowding, is it a joke or what?  :) Do you REALLY have such a callsign?! Do you know WHO had such a nickname!?

Is it just me.. or does the above translate to "As we progress, we find we are having to use more and more of HT's crappy code".

Heh Boroda - I thought you might have recognised it.  ;)

I saw a picture of Ivan N. Kozhedub standing in front of an La-5F with the words 'Koheba' stencilled on the fuselage.

I was reading that it's the name of a Russian folklore legend, who was kind of like the the Georgian version of Robin Hood. I lived near Nottingham for a while and spent much time in Sherwood Forrest as a kid, so it was kind of fitting, considering I fly the Lavochkins more than anything else.   :)

Ummm, Dowding, I don't think Boroda was referring to the original.  Think short, mustache, pipe, liked uniforms, mass murderer.....oh yeah, he was a Georgian too.  His revolutionary nom de guerre was Koba before he changed it.  Good idea too- Kobagrad sounds like breakfast cereal.

Like any business, mistakes happen.
Aces High have had there fair share, of course mainly in the early days, but though they still happen with each release, and patches are released very shortly after the initial release which was always good practice.
I agree WB3 FM felt somewhat wierd comparing to 2.77r3, but it is a beta so I expected something to change soon and of course HS pointed that out.(Though goes to show you that the coding and the Winterwolf graphic engine are not relating to what they have operating at present, they are differently two separate sims, try not to confuse yourself that Warbirds3 is a copy and paste of 2.77r3 because it isnt).

Nothing wrong with alittle rubbing Rip, but just dont make the two sticks generate to much smoke, all good fun  ;)

I thought Koba was Stalin's nickname.

lol Straf. You b'stard.  :D Interesting website.  :)

BTW 'Stalin' is not old Joe's real name either. Before and after the revolution he did use Soso and Koba before finally settling on Stalin. But a lot of revolutionaries used aliases from Russian history.

"KOHEBA" on a Kozhedub's La-5FN, later inherited by Kirill Yevstigneyev reads as "Koneva", it was a plane built on a money donated by peasant Konev. Cyrrilic "H" = Latin "N", Cyrrilic "B" = Latin "V".

Well, you are probably right that Iosif (Soso) Dzhugashvili AKA Koba AKA Josef Stalin acted like Georgian Robin Hood in 1900-s...
