WW1

Little? You're like 7 feet tall.

I want my S.E. 5.........

[NoBaddy]

Yes.

[Sincraft]

I needs me my Albatros D.III.

Oddly enough, the German needs a Brit plane, and the Yank needs a German one. 

Back in the Amiga days, I would come home after college or a date and stay up (way too late) to play this one game that was a ww1 fighter game.  Was a blast.  I always looked forward to becoming a full fledged adult (cough) and being able to afford a uber system that I envisioned would be available it today's day and age, to play uber flight sims.  I think had I known that all we would have by now would be AH2, I would have probably been like.....eh?.........

Don't get me wrong, AH2 placed in front of me back then and I would have never left the house for about 3 months straight, but I think everyone expected more from game producers by now.

BUMP for a ww1 sim!

There was a WWI arena in Air Warrior.  It was always almost empty.  I didn't like WWI.  The problem is that you have no forward-up view.  To get a taste for what it's like, map your forward-up view keys (or hat or whatever you use) to straight down (so you are looking at your cockpit floor -- i.e., no view).  Then go try some stallfights, where your most-used view is forward-up.  That's what it's like.

???? did you ever fly DoA Brooke? I mean back before IEN ruined it.  It was a GREAT time and I don't recall having any "view" problems at all.  I loved DoA and if Dale recreated it here I would be in that arena all the time.

  I think an WWI arena would be kewl, but, I think maybe a Korean War arena should be added as well. You can have the perked rides such as the F-86 Sabre and the Mig 15's, 17's. Basic prop driven like the p-39's, P-51's, A-1 Skyraiders, etc. May be worth thinking about?

No really, it expressed my own feelings.

Don't say it's just been a joke, don't say it again...

I'm a very sensitive little slug hoping for an Airco D.H. 2

I just got done reading Wm Burrows book on Richthofen, the huns use to call the DH2 the spinning incinerator. But put an angry gastropod behind the controls and i guarentee you could re write history.   

Good book btw, get it if you get a chance

Fokker D.VII please

Air Warrior had a Korean War arena as well.  It hardly ever had anyone in it.  The problem there was that it takes forever (by WWII standards) to do a 360 degree turn in an F-86 or Mig 15.  Dogfights end up being glacial by WWII standards, and most of your shooting is at 1000 yards.

HiTech and Pyro flew a lot in Air Warrior.  They might have the same opinion -- that WWI and Korean War arenas would have almost no players in them.  For the same effort of making those arenas, they could do more in the Main Arena, which is the most-imporant and most-popular part of Aces High.  Much more bang for the buck.

I doubt that AW would be the experience they would rely on since they have their own demographics from Dawn of Aces which Dale et al created to draw from.  Korea is another kettle of fish and suspect would be quite abit harder to put together.

You mean the spitfire of WWI?* The D. VII was the Pony of WWI*. The S.E. 5 was the Yak of WWI, as it was a beautiful plane in it's element*.

  Ahhh.... I see Brooke, I never had the chance to play AW. I can totally understand what your saying about the dogfights in the jets, would be a lot of work to put together those kinds of arenas and have very little use of them. Just sounded kinda kewl. Thanks for your input.
