I hope we'll never have an EZ mode here

[SnakeEyes]

Actually I was commenting on the whole AH/WB whose-FM-is-harder implications unleashed back there.

PS - I have a post beta account btw.  At least for another week or so.

Citabra-You must have been flying in EZmode in the main in WBs.

Explain these issues, and how they do not apply, while the WB EZmode does, and not only will I quit posting(again), but I will delete AH and this board from my system.

1) EZmode takeoff

2) EZmode Radar

3) EZmode "six" view

4) EZmode "Zoom" feature

5) EZmode roboto bomber gunnery system

6) EZmode gunnery(That is my opinion, no need to answer that one, really)

Just so you will know, I don't have a problem with any of these, just like I don't have a problem with EZmode in the Warbirds main, but I do have a problem with self-rightous nonsense.

Yes, its definetely the same Citabria we all have the pleasure of reading regularly on AGW!

Cheers

SnakeEyes, I didn't mean you, I meant all the guys that were blasting the EZmode pilots on AGW.

[Citabria]

nah.

Hey Snake eyes, Gadfly and Figaro, rather than posting in a flight sim BB that you don't even fly, while driving that wedge even deeper between  the flights sim communities (keep in mind we'll all be in WW2), why don't you just leave?

[gatt]

No Rip,
let them stay and post some funny jokes about EZ-modes here. Keep on posting Gadfly and Snake!   We want to laugh!

We don't know what we're going to do in terms of an "easy mode".  We will be doing more in that area, we're throwing money away if we don't.  These types of games don't survive on old-timers alone.  You need a constant supply of fresh bodies coming in to keep things going.  Some people talk about this like it's a bad thing when it certainly isn't.  A bad thing is not getting enough players into the game.  Just because you or I took our lumps and persevered through difficult learning curves doesn't mean the average player can or will.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

Pyro;

I started a post along those very same ideas, but deleted it after about 3 lines of text.

I had decided that I would need a better "Fire Suit".

In ref. to Pyro's statement:
That my friends, is spoken from a "business" point of view.
As a former business owner, I made decisions to benefit my company. If I lost 5 old customers but gained 15 new cutomers due to that decision, then so be it. My loyalty was to my company, not a select few customers who would drop you in a heart beat once they found something they perceived as better for the dollar. If ya don't think they will, start a business and find out for yourself.

I thought spitfires were easy mode?  

seriously though, keep a dedicated easy mode flight model in a separate arena.
it can and will be exploited if its mixed together with the accurate flight models.

Ripsnort... how can I put this most politely....

Um... first, blow me.  I don't think you've seen any posts around here from me slamming AH.  Maybe a snide smile or two, but whether someone plays or not is immaterial.  Anyone can fly the aircraft offline and make up their mind about the flight model.  And, secondly, open your [expletive] eyes and read... you'll notice that your characterization is incorrect.

In any case, now that the AH flight model is more complete, I haven't commented on whether I think it is better/worse/whatever vis-a-vis WB or anything else.  Sorry, but I don't know enough on the subject to comment on that.  My point is that the asinine holier-than-thou comments on either side are what drives a wedge between the communities... and you seem to clearly be on the wrong side of that discussion.

Oooooooooooh!  I was going to post a point relating to my experience with the difference between sims and real world flying e.g. when I was a very active commercial pilot and CFI I would have thought quite a bit before going from my fancy retractable variable pitch prop complex airplanes to even the tamest WWII fighter.  Why cause these airplanes were so powerful and tricky that without some good training even a guy with my experience at that time would have been so far behind the curve that I would have run a risk of getting killed on takeoff.  AH is a great sim guys and it provides fantasy and escape but don't for one minute think that there's anything "real" in the sim world definition of real.  Now, relating to the "business decision" possibility thinking of Pyro as expressed below.  Please tell us that those of us who want full real (whatever that is) will always have it and that you're not going to mix up flight models in the same arena.
Thanks
