fscott, is this a new version?

I mean, does it incorporate the modified/fixed flight model?

If so, how do the planes perform now? If it's not the new patched FM release, when is that due out?

EDIT: NEVERMIND!!! I just read the page after looking at the screenshots!

This is the first time where I didn't know if "Closed beta team" was reffering to actuall beta testors or was a tricky way of reffering to everyone that purchased the game.

AKDejaVu, no.  That's us, th OPEN Beta Test team.

Not that I'm testing any planes - the frame rate problem in flight still has me grounded. I'm not going to spend money on upgrading CPU and vid card to get enough frames to fly - if they don't modify the code to make it possible all my flying will be in AH (assuming I ever get my new controllers working).

Edit: to remove reply to the joke.   :o

I'm not really interested in playing anymore until they incorporate the supply systems.  That was the main reason I wanted the game. Taking an enemy base had consequences for both sides.  Right now, you can run all the way behind enemy lines, take the airbase, and immediately start upping planes of YOUR type.  Totally not what they had touted in their pre-release hype.  Though they mentioned it would be implemented later in a patch.  Until that patch, it's just taking up space on my HD, unless my friend explicitly asks me to hop in and play.    :)
