The DCS F4U

[RichardDarkwood]

The DCS community must suck real hard if y'all have to have a discussion about a new plane here.

Sharing info on a new plane on this forum to people that you know but are not in their discord, or in direct contact with is not against the forum rules.

I watched someone in a I-16 shoot down a F-16 in a guns only fight.

The video I posted showed the I-16 getting a kill on the F-22. Of course the F-16 and F-22 were designed to kill with missiles and no WWII plane stands a chance against that.

Well Shane if I’m go consider patterns and leaked tells I’ve picked up on its a very ugly picture.

A political post gets locked in lightening flash to not harm the game. Yet DCS is allowed to dominate the bbs/O’Club, post negative about the game with zero recourse.

What is coming to light is Trips & crew has been granted a badge to discourage new and old players, impeded our efforts for numbers, attempting to “we can recruit AHers to DSC, but we cannot be recruited DCS players to AH” and dissolve and hide responsibility for its demise.

“Its not hard to wonder why the bank money is missing when a known bank robber is left alone in the bank with the vault door left open”

There is something going on here that is quite ugly. And trips seems very proud of it of those achievements. Why is someone so confident to say “ you can’t stop me” I wonder how he knows this with such confidence?

In any other game including dcs they would be perma-banned as fast as political post locked here.

They have zero shame. If my dog were to meet him he would bite him out of instinct.

I’ve been down a lot of worldly roads, I’ve seen a lot in humans from all factions, some great humans and some very disgusting and everything in between. I would invite a homeless crack head for a night of dinner before I’d spend one minute with this type.

To enjoy destroying players gaming livelihood and sanctuary is repulsive. He has the Barney Fife badge and damn proud if it. Your true to life points will have no impact on this type of personality, they thrive on it. They laugh at us because “ you can’t stop me”.

What did I do to deserve the treatment? I made a video. And every time I do or start a scenario it ramps up.

Any advice is proceeded with I’ll help you with your poor devolving game. The advice isn’t on top, the poor devolving game is, but hey, here’s a video of dcs.

Its more than obvious and a poorly written con.

Your first instincts is exactly whats happening. Don’t second guess it

Can you give me the handle of one player I've convinced to quit and move to DCS?

I bet you've driven more people to quit AH and move to DCS.

I doubt that. The kid has always been a kid and will remain a kid.

I agree.

I think we should be discussing the exciting new upcoming features of Aces High.

You go first, we'll jump in.

Well since from the time til now I have noticed a great improvement in the graphics. The water and clouds especially. Granted I have a better rig then I had then, but the old rig was nice for the time too. I'm talking 10 or 12 years ago. So there's that.

  AceHigh is refreshing to me after playing DCS. This game feels homey..if that makes sense. It's not work. I can fly WW2 birds and I can relax.

Some may feel that constant discussions about a game that may be considered a rival to this one is in bad forn or even rude. But I think you know that already and may have some ax to grind. I don't know....these DCS threads seem like trolls more than anything.

Yep.  AH III had some nice graphic upgraded from II at the time. 

That was 2018?  7 years ago.

Last plane added was..Lusche?  9 years ago?

I'm just saying there is nothing new to talk about.
There is a page on the website stating that no new developments are planned.  LTM.

So if we are going to discuss new and interesting developments in the flight sim genre, it is by definition not going to be able to include AH.  There is nothing to say.

But see what I mean about turning into troll treads? It's supposed to be about the DCS F4U, but here we are talking the graphics and new aircraft in AcesHigh3. I bought the CH-47 and it's crap. I know guys that actually fly them right now in the Army, and they say the same thing. It's close in some respects but BOB is full of bugs and the radios aren't right.

My bottom line is that Aces High is a good inexpensive game that has given 1000s of people a good time over the years and it may be small and set in it's ways, but the average Joe can play AcesHigh on an entry level game computer. Whereas DCS you can't.
Besides, I'm not much on kicking the little man when he's down. That how I feel these threads are meant to do. I'll support a small company in Texas any day over a British company that's asking 80 bucks a pop for a plane I have to study on for a week before I can do much with it. The servers are trash and I'm 6 hours from one supposedly. Expensive eye candy doesn't make for a better game.

Uptown, you brought up the graphics.

I said there is no new and exiting developments in AH to discuss and you brought up how much the graphics have improved since you were gone. 

That is not a new and exciting change.  It was 2018.  That is what I was pointing out.

Forget the past.  Tell me what new and exciting feature is on the drawing board?


And again, you don't have to read any thread.  Skip over any thread that doesn't interest you.

You can blame one particular whack-job for continually derailing the threads and trying to be AH's first martyr.

But you asked me!! I knew you were going to do that  Okay I'm done here. Thanks for the debate 

[Shane]

Awesome.

Then where are the customers at?

Playing in the arenas - what's your k/t and k/d in DCS?   Are you even capable of engaging, or too busy thumbing thru a faux manual?

[CptTrips]

But you asked me!!

Oh  I asked for new and exciting developments. 

You were replying what was new to you.  Not what fit the general definition of new.

Yes.  If you have been gone a decade or so, there will have been changes.

If you've only been gone 6 years, then not so much.

January 2014, Tu-2

I can give you one I convinced to resubscribe to AH.    

Seems AH gets more a trickle of returning players than DCS gets from AH these days.

You need some financial help to cover the subscription?
