Crazy Horse was the one I was thinking of.

Chances are no one fully qualified in P-51 attempted to turn fight in it at 150kts.

Pull any significant Gs at less than 250kts good luck keeping both wings flying.

Don't think there was much turn fights in rl in ww2...

B&z to live was more important than winning a t&b...

True, no doubt.
But it can be compared to how it responds to an FM. Does the 51 feel like it did when I flew it, at least getting the basics “right”.

Back in the day Earl, a WWII pilot and test pilot, who tested several planes, but mostly flew the P-47s, P-40s and I think the P-38, could at least tell use if we’re in the ballpark on the feel of it. Every plane flies different, yet same FM. Is not an exact science, but it can help at times.

Its just an add-in subject. I don’t think anyone sees it as some breakthrough.

One can go to things like Fighter Pilot USA and fly a plane in a dogfight situation to get the feel of real flight.

I just think there are a lot of pros and cons comparing FMs by those who never did it. Opinions snd misconceptions abound. I think a player just either likes it or they don’t. Some also confuse FM with Damage Model. <shrug>

Hartmann was pretty clear that if you ended up in a dogfight that you had made a mistake in his opinion.

I just don’t want to depart flying with realism in order to be successful.   

If your GoTo move depends on a hole in the flight model, it will be tough goings at a different sim……or your having gotten used to a flight model error will have you dissatisfied with how airplanes fly anywhere else.

Why do people always try to compare WWII with a game? The whole point of Aces High IS to get in a dogfight, be it "turn and burn" (my favorite) or "Boom and Zoom". The added capture base for the "Win the War" is there to GENERATE dogfights. If you dont want to fight, why are you here??

I like taking a rook C47 to the bishop/knight front and stealing a field from both of them.

I think you know that’s not the only reason people play this game.

[Shuffler]

My reason for flying is to completely cover the ground on every map.... with 38 parts are tree limbs. OH... and broken crystal beer mugs that smell of margaritas.

Ive started back on WW2OL. Nice thing about that game is that they actually have a free to play option

A quick note on WW2OL, I was reading the credits on closing the game and it has hitechs cpid along with his first and last name listed as a senior programmer for that game. Didnt know he would sell his services to a competitor

The game is commonly recognized as the first MMOFPS.[4] Following the purchase of Interactive Creations of Grapevine's WarBirds by IEntertainment Network in 1999, several of the developers departed the company and formed new gaming companies. Some went to form Hitech Creations, while others went with John "Killer" MacQueen, Jonathon "Hoof" Hoof, Chris "Mo" Sherland[5] to leverage their experience on WarBirds and Raider Wars to develop[6] an online gaming network (G2 Network)[7] with a massively-multiplayer first-person WWII simulation[8] for both PC and Mac[9] as the showpiece.[10] After a lengthy closed beta stage, WWII Online went live on June 6, 2001 under the campaign title Blitzkrieg. The release was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the D-Day.

I’d be seriously pssssed if others get work and we don’t.
