I was messing around in Wickipedia and brought up a game called Fighter Ace, it has loads of different planes. Has anyone played it, does it compare to AH.

It sucks.

Don't take our word for it, go download it. Check it out for yourself.

For me, I found I couldn't stall any plane unless I had the nose up more than 30 degrees. Even the P51 would do endless circles as hard as you could pull it around.

For sure does not have AH's flight model, nor anything close to it.

Never heard of it.

Wonder how many people play it.

I see that it does have a linux client, which is interesting.

Has a lot of nice planes. I tried it before I signed onto AH in May, and there were only around 30-45 players on at a time. There is a free trial period though, so it wouldn't hurt to try it out. I prefer AH II and haven't played Fighter Ace since.

One of my Sergeants plays it, he thought it was great until I started describing the AH FM and features to him.

Its basically an FPS with planes. Point and shoot, no realistic FM at all.

Treize69 has hit the nail on the head.

Maybe we should point the CounterStrike squeaker horde in their direction.

I just tried Fighter Ace, horrid, i deleted it without even using the 2 week free trial. Lots of planes yes, but everything else isnt near as good as AH is.

I tried Fighter Ace once, aboot half a year ago. I couldn't figure out how to play the dang game, it always blocked me. I must say that in comparison to this game, it is worthless.

Wow, I took a look at it to see if it had changed any, the site itself is much better and easier to navigate now, but it's still not very good. I can't see how they could call theirselves the "premier combat flight game" with Aces High around.

Well every one agrees Fighter ace sucks, but I have been on the IL-2 forum and it sounds like a really hot game. More complicated than AH, you have to contol the plane more, not just simple controls like AH, and there are more variables like clouds and wind and things that a combat simulator should have like the real troops deal with, did I forget lots more aircraft.

Yayyy, let's all go Il-2. You go first.
