Recently an AH fan posted some defamating statements about the Fighter Ace 3 beta.
Let me clear up a few things about their alleged remarks. I have replied to their statements in all R.) posts.
Gentleman,
I finally got an uninterrupted download of the new FA 3 release.
1. In my opinion it sucks.
R.) What are your computer specs? This is a new graphics and flight model in its beta stages. You flew online and yet stated you merely tested offline. You complained about features only available in online play without any foundations of investigation. 10 minutes is not an evaluation, its an attack on the fact you had to learn something new and were too lazy to try it.
2. Very unrealistic.
R.) You flew in an Arcade Nations at war room, I heard your whining. All players in the room told you that you would have to go to a tagless cockpit only view room with advanced physics. You continued to whine and ruin others enjoyment in their testing & debugging. If you had read anything available in the forums you would know that the entire game is being tested for hardware issues and nothing has been set. The dammage model is not even close to completion.
3. Kiddies arcade play.
R.) Try flying advanced and you might have a clue. Most advanced flight physics responses ever placed in a Sim.
4. Planes do impossible maneuvers.
R.) See above.....yawn
5. No cockpit view.(untrue)
6. Unrealistic information all over the screen, no working
cockpit instruments.(Untrue)
7. Minimal improvement over original release.(untrue)
8. Laggy as all hell. (untrue)
9. Even if there was a cockpit view no head position
adjustment. I know this from the original release, this
was very aggravating as the necessary instruments were
unusable. ( Untrue)
10. Padlock is unrealistic, WW 2 planes did not have
automatic tracking devices.
R.) Your head and eyes follow objects in
motion without thought why should this be different. I love padlock because it makes the game 3 dimensional. In cloud cover it doesnt work in the next patch. The range is purely visual of 5,000 ft usually and can be adjusted in the room settings.
It will also cease functioning when the view is blocked if it is set that way. FYI, you can fly under radar and knock out enemy radar.
Fully operational carrier battle groups and territorial combat are running and being debugged right now.
11. Graphics do not even come close to AH.
R.) No they don't they blow them
away, try a new computer with at least 64 MB of ram in video.
See attatched photo.
Its at a low resolution. You can fly in and dogfight inside cloud cover. The time of day goes from day thru night.
R.) The rest of this AH pilots thread is just a heated obsession with padlock. I don't fly AH because it felt totally 2 dimensional in its views.
