WBIII Beta is out!

[lazs]

All I care about... Are there still "micro warps"?   Do planes have six views that are anywhere close to as well done as the AH ones yet?  Does the Corsair still have 1500 HP?  Are they still stuck in "allied Vs axis"?

At least WB3 won't have the "well done AH" Linda Blair 6 view.
You won't like it, Lazs

Noticed it still has the horrible roll interita modelling.

When a FW-190 has a worse initial roll than a twin engined SE-2 Islander, it leads me to believe it might not be modelled accurately.

I don't have a problem with WB's introduction of their new effort, however, regarding loyalty to a particular sim, WB's and IEN don't deserve my loyalty. In comparison to the customer service and frequency of upgrades and overall growth of AH, IEN has fallen pitifully short of the mark.

Now I realize I'm in the minority, and that loyalty regarding these sims may not be high on most peoples list. I will choose to remain with those who have made the effort to support my hobby and will not support a company who milked its player base until AH began to get in its pocket deeply enough to warrant a change.

I am happy for the WB's community...they have been loyal to their sim and most certainly deserve a better product.

Heck, anyone can see that the version available is totally unfinished and a lot of work has to be done untill it can be called a playable game..

It's a big improvement over 2.xx WB but still a lot less from what I expected.

There are games that look better (like CFS2 patched..) There are games that promise more (WW2OL unreleased) but there is only one game where I feel the joy of air combat.. And thats Aces High. Some claim our FM arcadish (maybe the E reserving part of it is) but it really feels playable and I can 'sense' the controls..

That's something I still wait to find from any competitor.

Lem, I understand you are a very big part of WBIII, but why can't you just keep your mind 'open' and be constructive, rather than acting like a juvenille?  

This prospective you view of HT's 3D cockpits  
doesn't quite give the advantage you think it does...

[Macchi]

I act like i want as long as i live in the "free" part of the world.
And i prefer simulations where cockpits look like the real ones.

You guys crack me up. You slag WB for having an imperfect beta, cheerlead AH, but if you read the HTC board, you can still see plenty of squeaking about what you have here. Go figure.

Reminds me of the old joke Woody Allen used to tell in his stand up days. Two old Jewish ladies eating lunch in a restaurant. One says,"This food is lousy", and the other one says "yeah, and such small portions too".

Its all good guys. Don't take it personally that their trying to improve the product. HS has let out enough rope, lets see if makes a lasso to corral some new customers, or hangs himself with it

Well, as part of the WBIII team, you certainly are not helping out the customer base...you must feel threatened by AH if you must resort to slamming it.

[Lugnut]

Careful there Rip, that same logic could be applied to everyone who comes over to AGW from here to beat up on the kids in the schoolyard

Lug, show me one post where I slammed WB's.

Also, only once I posted about AH (originating thread) in the Main forum, all my other postings were in OT.

[Macchi]

Come on Rip,
where did i slammed AH please.
I am a player and i have my opinions. Don't come with the old "you have to hold a different standard than we" crap.


Lem

[Lugnut]

If you re-read, you'll notice I didn't single you out, mearly pointing out that there have been many folks (here) who aren't bashful about bashing WBs (no pun intended). Are they feeling threatened by iEN? Not likely.

Lug

(edited for spelling. I should have used the spellcheck feature, which AGW would do well to adopt, if for no other eason than HS' tentative grasp of English)

No, I am not going to do the homework of repeatably pulling up everyone of your posts slamming AH in AGW, nope, sorry, ain't gonna play that game.  You know, I know, the communities know.

"Opinions" fall into two catagories:
One that is delivered with constructive criticism...
One that is delivered with saracasm (Juvenille).

You just happen to voice your opinion with the latter.

[Macchi]

You won't do it, because you won't find any posts in AGW where i slammed AH  

Lem
P.S.: did you ever looked into a mirror Rip?
