Author Topic: I hope we'll never have an EZ mode here (Read 2208 times)

Was giving a look at AGW and red some threads about people pissed off by the loss of EZ mode in MA. WB's MA was full of FW's flying like Sissyfires, B&Zing all the time without worrying of FM limitations.

If I had an EZ mode here I'd close my account.

Yah... What the hell is THAT all about? I can't believe they let FR and RR planes loose in the *same* bloody arena. My god.

It's also suprising to note that some 60% or more of the planes buzzin' around in the WB MA are in 'EZ' mode. <shudder>

Foolishness!

That was one of the first questions I ever asked Pyro was if they planned an "easy flight mode". Thankfully he said no at the time.

I think their auto take off is an excellent way to deal with that.

Hey Nash, I took my stick apart. Had a heck of a time! Did not realize there was a screw under each "glued" rubber foot pad.

Hope cleaning those pots helps.

Lol daddog. I'm too embarrased to admit how long it took me to figure out where those damned screws were

I'm almost 100% sure it's gonna help. Lemme know how it works out.

uh, EZ take off isn't EZ mode?

You mean different people in the same arena using different flight models?

Egads, thats blasphemy.

Full realism all the way!!!

Exactly, Liz. Once you break ground you are flying the plane in the same flight model as everyone else.

Gadfly: No..that's get a beer mode.

Good point Kieren, and that is why I fly Bombers Ozark.

I wonder how those Ez-mode guys can be able to ask for playing in MA ....

There's guys that still think AH is the "watered down" version of WB .. oh well ..

EZ-Mode .. No thanks ...

funked · « **Reply #11 on:** May 24, 2000, 02:36:00 AM »

The funniest part is that they are arguing over the difference between one FM that is a little easier to fly than AH and another FM that is MUCH easier to fly than AH.

They are both watered-down FM's, it's just a matter of how much water you want in the scotch...

Not saying AH is the Holy Grail, either. I've never flown a WW2 fighter, what do I know.

Taking away EZ in the main arena was the best decision Ien has made so far imho.

Taking *away* EZ in the MA? I'm shocked they even put it *in*. Appearently they kinda switch back and forth at random, not tellin' anyone what's going on.

It's kinda ironic, really. Claimin' that the WB flight model is 'all that' while only 30-40% of the people yer gonna run into are actually flying inna plane with realistic characteristics. Go figure.

easymo · « **Reply #14 on:** May 24, 2000, 03:35:00 AM »

I never could tell that much difference between EZ and FR. Just a couple more buttons to push. I had no trouble switching to FR there or here.
