Personal shots aside, I'm done. Can't justify $15 a month for the game play that now exists in the MA, off peak use to be good for better fights but such few numbers on during my time zone not even worth the time to try and find a con.

Never been able to participate in FSO or other events due to timezone difference.

Graphics add immersion and realism, AH (yes I know multiplayer etc etc) but AH is terribly dated now and just painful to look at even with sliders at full. Shame HT didn't use time spent on ToD,WW1 etc and spent $$ and time towards developing a next generation graphics/physics engine, which I actually expected with AH2 so many years ago.

Guess I was out by 10 years and counting on that one, bit like a updated Yak.  :lol

Been an interesting few years, but my time for cartoon planes and a MA which has become more like Air Quake is over.

A new G27 has arrived so what spare time I have from real life will now go towards sim racing.



All the best everyone.

I honestly understand man, I have flown very little and when I do its most often the DA....if its fights you want the DA is where its at....the MA sadly while some still fight....... the majority only want the kill and believe surviving is paramount and .........Zee Var most be von........

seriously though AH the game itself kicks ass,  are the graphics the best there are.......... no.......but AH isn't about graphics and eye candy its about Arial Combat............ DA is where the real fights are...... yes fights can be found in the MA but no where near the level the are in the DA.....are there gangs and tards in the DA.....yup..........thats because AH is populated by people and wherever people  are....tards are.......

but there are also some great people (squadies but not only)and some great fights to be had.....you should try the DA regular say for a week or two and then if you feel the same, there is no point staying.


and that car looks sick........but blaaaaa racing games are a dime a dozen, besides who wants to race when we can drive every day.......flying a plane and killing MFers is where its at. :aok

Most aces after wwI who flew solo in wwII were called exactly that...aces


More likely they was called.... dead.       if they was flying solo in combat.

Combat has always been a "team" sport.


And like others....  I to have a new G27 and find it hard to give time to AH when I  can be over at IRACING.

 Out of curiosity how does G27 work when you bump another player online..does one spin out and the other act like nothing happened?

Welp, I've taken a liking to the 47 lately and since you seem to be the premier jug pilot it would be a great way to learn... although I could avoid yanking the stick back as hard as I do...

Anyway, it was worth a shot.

Buh bye.  Please don't try to suck the life out of us who do play and enjoy the game with your negativity on a forum for a game you don't play.

Does lepape still play?  Do you?  Different name?  I've seen the lepape vids, never seen him online though.
