What will be very interesting is to see how HTC handles trim.. will there be auto trim on the trimless wwi planes, fully manual compensation or some kind of trim even though there wasnt trim...

Flying without any trim is such a pita since you cant let go of your stick at all.

Oh you can let go of the stick if you want.  But your :airplane: will impact the ground at a high rate of speed.  Which will result in your conversion into an :angel: instead of becoming an :old:.

What people dont seem to realize is that this update will bring many new players into the game. There was a huge following around games like "Red Baron"

The new "Rise of Flight" (which I own) is a very pretty sim, but limited in terms of multiplayer and the greed of the developer around introducing new planes into the set is obnoxious. This is going to bring those who want to fly a squad based WW1 flight sim back to their roots and I don't think it will thin AH2s current player base that much after a few months.

It'll have use when it is new then when that wears off...... another EW arena. My guess anyway. Hope it does not hurt updates to AHII.

I don't think HTC intends this to be a "main" portion of the game.. I see it as more of a fun alternative to do once in a while... Just my 2 cents.

Come on Shff you don't know that, your just speculating :D  My guess is that it will do as well as the time put into to it, DoA was great when HT and Pyro were running it and I think this can be too :rock.

That was the approach in DoA.  They could allow trim adjustments before take off to simulate rigging the aircraft for hands-off flight at a certain airspeed.  It would be nice if trim once disabled once off the ground, but I doubt it will happen.
