Really? not one aces high player has to do aircraft systems management. 98% of AH players inside the first week would seize the engine up almost every flight.
1) Fugitive (and others) and I are on the same page on several issues, I’m not going to reinvent the wheel on what he posted. That said, personal preference cannot be challenged.
My personal preference is adrenaline flow. It fits with my job. If the hair on my arms isn’t standing up, I didn’t get there. And my response to the lighting people is, no one goes home humming the light show. If the sound isn’t right, the light show has no real effect. They work hand in hand to achieve one goal, adrenaline.
When I was in AW a GF bought me MS Flight sim 98. For the time it had all the bells and whistles AW didn’t have. Ya, I flew a 747, cool, But that was it, no combat, no adrenaline flow. It gathered dust.
You sir, are here to attempt to change personal preference without the whole subject. It is You can’t seem to extend on your comments past graphics and engine management. It’s a thin razor slice of a combat flight simulator. All you talk about is the light show, the word combat is avoided. No band, no sound. You seem to hum the light show.
2) Combat Flight Simulator, the first word in the term. I’m prolly the last one who should ask this,…How many kills have you gotten in DCS in the last year of another human pilot?
My personal preference, is the first word combat. No combat, no adrenaline flow. I see DCS as a Flight Simulator with Combat. DCS is a sim, AH is a sim played as a game, it has a direction. Combat was always the draw. I need the whole picture or I’m just eating cookies with no milk. If you had the whole picture, you would not be here with cute one-liners with no substance trying to skim players. You seem to be a one track train with no destination. My suggestion to you is, if the power of suggestion doesn’t work nothing will. Ya end up looking the pest who sells nothing. You’re like a uninvited party crasher who shows up drunk complaining about the music played.
You speak of engine management, but never about combat. You’re speaking to an audience who prefers combat. If that’s what you like cool, you should do that. But don’t come in here crapping in the yard thinking you’re crafty. These players mop the floor with those who only crave graphics and engine management. They couldn’t handle it. You know this is true or you wouldn’t be trying to recruit them. You’re trying to replace what it doesn’t seem to have. You’re trying to fill a hole. You’re like a used car salesman who won’t let the buyer look under the hood. You sell nothing. If all there is engine management, you’re eating dry cookies craving our milk.
While I totally get what Dolby said he’s getting his graphics fix in IL, but getting adrenaline flow here, plus he has friends here too.
I will set aside personal preferences and say this,… >IF< (massive word) HT were to update AH with something like Vulken your game is going take a hit. Because, once that is done, the FX can be duplicated of whats in other sims. And then it comes down to one thing, game play. AH will walk over them because it has the main element. Large arena multiplayer game play. Why do I say this? Because everywhere I read, this is what all those who left crave. Even you. HT is a monster coder who can do the work of 5. All he needs is the will. IF he did that, the elation would be deafening.
