My goodness it has to be the Best looking and immersive Sim that I have ever seen!!!!

!!!!

I am running it at 1024x768 with quintux HRAA at around 45 FPS on GF3 with Full Extreme SETTINGS.. OMG!! its AWESOME!!

sorry HTC , I dont mean to boast as to compare ACEs.. but WOW.

I really like the Mouse Look View.. STRANGE as it is.. it actually seems more realistic

I have mapped My left Mouse button for throttle up.. and Right for Throttle Down..

and Mouse movement for Virtual 360 Cockpit movement.
Rudder pedals for rudders, Lefty stick for Stick.. wow. strange setup but almost completey natural..

I dont know what to say except WOW.. argh I feel like I am in a way betraying Aces..

The Flight model seems Very very NICE too..
Very responsive as it doest seem to have a netcode limiter (in order to prevent warp rolls and other such display anomolies)

Anyone else THink it ROCks thier world????

Yep, pretty tasteless deez posting this on the Aces High general discussion board. Kinda like walking in a store at the counter and telling the customers how the guys down the roads store has *really cool stuff* (with the owner standing there!)

Im am not trying to say HEY LOOK .. forget about HTC look at this.. ALL i am saying is Holy cow.. I download the demo last night and am saying what I have thought about it so far..

question : Why would this be any differnt If i posted this in the Officer club??

People talk about other sims all the time.

All I am asking is has anyone had the same REPSONSE that I had from seeing this New Sim..

I can't wait to engage those 109s in a Spitfire!!! Oh wait... nevermind.

The O' Club is more appropriate for this thread, however, personally it doesn't bother me if you post it here.

deez i think posting in general was a little bit naughty mate...HOWEVER, thanks for letting me know theres a demo...im D/Ling it now

O'club would have been more polite i guess,
but as this game isnt a pay as you play online game it isnt really stepping on HTCs toes.so from my point of veiw this was a much appreciated peice of info

lets not rip into him for just being excited by a game and trying to help us discover it eh?

<S> Deez

IMO this topic is a "no biggy." It's the same as three years ago when EAW came out and everyone in the AW and WB's boards were talking about it. It's a box sim. They're fun for a little while if you're mainly into MMPOG. And if your not into MMPOG then you're most likely not a customer and in which case you're probably not hanging out here in the ubb to begin with

I got the demo and I'm eagerly looking forward to trying it out later at home. But, again, it's not a MMPOG and no one should feel threatened by someone just talking about it. Even if quite animated

It's not the same as going to WB's and with much thumping of the chest announcing the latest AH release - or vice-versa. AH and WB's are direct competitors and doing that is not considered kosher.

<S> Hazed and Westy For understanding my post

I know that this and any SIM avation news is good, I just brought it to the wrong post iguess..

I have never posted in the O'club before (not that I can recall ever) and this was the only thing that I thought made sense.

I mean it is a series issue right? hehe

Any way, No I dont think HTC should feel threatend.

That would be only if Il2 became an online sim with more options.

RIght now I know it Rules anything I have seen graphically and detail wise to aircraft models.

The FM is about on par with Aces, The only thing I see wich is diffent would be compression.

Any way <S>

Fester, If the rumors are true, then it may have been taken off the web sites.

I could send it to you directly if you want. We Would have to do it most likely over a direct connection, Somehitng like AOL instant messaganger would work. Unless you have some super huge unlimited Email size limit

What kind of connection do you have?

let me know and Ill get it to you if the other sites cannot.
