FAIII

[1776]

Now FA is trying to match AH just like all the sims  !!!

HTC is the industry leader!!!(old news)

Bill Gates called ya yet, HT????

HT, don't sell unless he offers your current customer base 1k shares each in MS

1776, no need to bash the sim, and BTW bill gates could give a rats prettythang about FA.  FA is run by a third party company.  The coders are from Russia and the corporation that manages them is out of Colorado.  The guys over at FA are doing a great job with the limitations they have.  You might ask how I know all this, I think if you did the math you could figure it out    At any rate I welcome all sims and hope they all prosper for if it wasn't for them what would we be doing?

Not a bash, just stating facts and kidding HT

[Sturm]

Don't hold your breath to long, something  always comes up and knocks doiwn the big guy.  And of course you have a right to your opinion.  Just curious where ya got your facts from?

FAIII is playing catch-up too.  Let's not lose site of what HTC has done is a very short time!!  Why are these big companies in catch-up mode??  Why aren't they leading?

I believe that HTC needs to be credited for injecting life into these other sims.  

1.07, 1.08, etc will be leading the way in this industry.

I have been around since beta and have been dumbfounded by the progress 6 people have produced  It's outstanding and amazing and needs to be acknowledged!!!

1776 FA is hog tied as it is.  They have a set number of updates they can do, the guys at FA are doing there best, and mind you they are not the coders of the game they are over in Russia doing it.  MS gives them the servers and a support staff and that is it.

Sturm,

All it is going to be is FA2.5 with slightly better graphics.  It's going to be the same old flight model with the beta Superman view crowd getting their wish.    Anything to make the game less than an Shooter game isnt' welcomed by the few arcade wonderboys they have in beta.

Wing are you a tester?  Didnt see your name on the list.  I am not hyping up FA at all, but I am defending it since everyone seems to know everything here.  Hell the game isnt even beta yet and you know what the finished product will be.

Some guys are easily satisfied, aren't they?

Reality check guys:  lets call it a SIM when the basic flight model,damage model and pilot model works, and when it actually SIMULATES something ... you know... something REAL?  

Until then, ANY flight game can be nothing other than a fantasy program.  It might be a very good fantasy program:  it might have very good visuals or very nice features, but it no more simulates WW2 air combat than the board game 'Battleship' simulates modern naval warfare.
