It looks better than it did back in the days that I tried it....

But is it as gamey as it once was ?.......

Water graphics look good.

 How many subscribers do you think it has?

I also wonder if they use the hit bubble like Aw used to or if it's more like AH.  

Same price, they must have something to compete against AH with.

It just feels a bit like corgi toys vs hand painted die cast... but who knows

Heh. It'll install on my PC, but the updater won't run.

Windows Vista, and I have the overly-paranoid security turned OFF (so don't need to Unblock, OR specify to run as admin).

Not gonna bother with it further tonight.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

One good thing though they had a Tu-2
I was chasing one once, about 1,2 back fired one single shell, that I watched arc into his belly ord. BOOM!

So is it a sim or an arcade game?

Maybe we should challenge them to a duel!?!

its arcade flight model in most of the arena's . with a dot zip zoooom your dead flight model .the graphics are photo vs the flowing terrain we have here . I dont think the latency has been recoded either yet ,,so if it ever gets up around 100 players it turns into a lag fest ... the only cool thing about FA is all the planes it has .

I still say we should challenge them to a duel.

Their best gets 2 weeks to practise over here against a one of ours.

Then vica versa.

 That would be like Delta Force challenging the Boy Scouts to a shoot out.
