every day when i log on is a new dang update, and im all excited to check the site to see whats updated...

and its just stupid pointless crap, like wind noise, and full window or not....

how about adding some new planes to the WW1 arena?

or at least make something worthwhile! i enjoy the fact that HTC is working dilligently to make the game run as smooth as possible, but it is disappointing, none of the "fixes" are things i even notice. and today it the patch seems to do the same thing as the patch yesterday, or they didnt put on the site what was fixed this time

Every patch changes the coad. Every time you change the coad you create bugs you don't know you've created.

So every patch has to go fix the problems that its created.

They are bug fixes, it isn't that big a deal, they don't take that long to download and install.

Its the price you pay for flying someplace that is alive, vibrant, and growing, unlike FA which is dieing in a few months.

How'd you like to be one of those guys?

So suck it up and deal with it.

    A guy who would complain if you got him laid?  :D

Sure, but only after he'd gleefully sausage-stuffed every orifice offered.

This reminds me of a little story. Once, a long time ago, when I was young and life was blurry (I think it was called the 80's) I took this somewhat dimwitted but good-looking girlfriend to some crap film she'd recommended. It was a women's prison film - a genuine rarity in that era. For some reason, at this point I'm wondering if I'm confusing it with Sean Penn's "Bad Boys" or it isn't one and the same. I'm inclined to think the latter, since I think there was a tiny and forgettable flowering of efforts in the genre at the time.

Now, this is not to say that prison films are bad. Consider "Cool Hand Luke" - recently re-released. I watched it in HD not more than a year ago and the film is still searching, fearless, and extremely compelling. That the quality of the story is paralleled by the quality of the cast just ensures a place in the Pantheon of greats for the film. I also think it appropriate here to wish RIPs to both Hopper and Newman.

In any case, Debbie and I watched this rather sappy women's prison film together. I found the film overall to be much like Debbie herself; the ability of the film to titillate was undiminished by the toal vacuity of the film. Further, it was quite clear watching the film that here was another creation headed for the oblivion of all other such forgotten and valueless works. I predicted the ending some time within the first hour and sat back to enjoy a combination of buzzes.  

I make mention of the film's ability to titillate. Indeed, I think that's generally what women's prison films are about. Some of you who are familiar with Brett Easton Ellis will recall that the protagonist in American Psycho was quite fond of a film called "Shemale Reformatory". To my mind, that's more or less emblematic of the genre, so long as you figure a chick with yarbles is more or less a chick (provided she's got the other bits right and dependent on positioning, if you follow - not that I've ever tried any such thing) and that a reformatory also features as an analogous playground for the power-luster.

This all impinges on my extension of the analogy. In the film, you see, there's a split scene in which one plot development (can't remember what) is interspliced with a fairly ugly scene in which a male prison guarding is "making love" to a female prisoner. They'd cut from one scene to the other. As the dual-scene progresses, the male guard goes about the business of a really beast-"makeloving" this raggy prison-chick, getting nearer and nearer to culminating his self-serving conquest of the hapless female prisoner. At the end, he squeals like a mouse a couple of time, fires his 30 cals, and peels himself off of the shabby doll of a prisoner.

As he pulls up his cop-pants and prepares to quit the room, he turns back to the prisoner, still lying spread-eagled on the concrete floor and says, "you're the worst f*** I've ever had."

Judging by the look on the prisoner's face, she didn't seem to take his critique seriously.  

To my mind though, that statement really made the scene. If you're going to go porcine, you want to do it big and unabashedly.

I get your point, and I agree with it.  I've always said much the same thing, though in a different way.

Also, I totally agree with you on the Cool Hand Luke, one of my all time favorite films.  Everything about it is just perfect, and it had Harry Dean Stanton!

The O/P obviously has very little idea just how big in scope the AH realm is.

While I too question the certain aspect of the development and progress of AH, it is not my business to run and I'm thankful for what we've got.

Relax.   ;)

I have no clue what I'm talking about and my mom refuses to make pancakes for me in the morning.

Fixed.

i thought the ability to choose which planes you practice against offline was pretty cool.

Oh, ye of little patience. First, appreciate the fact you are able to log in and play.

Second, get a clue as to what it takes to program code for a game of this scale.

This is not an "I want what I want when I want it" environment like so many kids would expect it to be.

A lot of people ripped the tire noise effect. I thought that was cool. It really helps give you that feel for rolling down the runway. It would be really neat to have a vibration booth and a vibe track that'd give you the buzz of the ac. Consider the extra work required to get the vibe "signature of a given ac at a given condition... hmm. Yet another pile-on that'd slow down new ac intros...

 I'm sure some pervert would abuse it but, hey, as long as I don't have to clean up somebody else's cockpit I guess I don't care.

I want more, too, of course. However, this is the best game in town so we've got to bear with. Besides, for fideen bux a month, you can't beat the entertainment value. I say that during a month when I've had little time to actually play.

I am not 100% sure, but I do believe this is the first time I have seen someone complain that we fix bugs.
