Huh?
A. Why is this here?
B. Why should we care?

Nothing against FA guys, but if some jerk comes and slams FA in a FA forum, there's no need to bring it here.  He was wrong in doing so, and you're wrong in doing the same.

If it was in some other thread, why start a new one?

BTW, several AH pilots can't read.  I once put a 2-year-old at the controls of a C47 in AH.  Heck, judging by your posting, I'm surprised you can read.
You expect us to believe a sentence fragment by you, who's never seen any other game but FA, that your favorite sim has the most advanced flight physics model?
If you're interested in researching the issue, I advise you check out http://www.dogfighter.com for starters.  They have correspondents for all the MMPO Flight Sims, and they try to balance the cheerleading out.

Well go count verbiage on an english ed board.
FYI, Ive made planes for CFS2 and quite well. Even though the flight model was extremely limited and dissappointing for me I can't say I could write an entire game engine to be released before it was time. Fact is, I was wrong bashing the guy for an opinion. But I would dare say it was a bit more intelligent than the responses.:D

Also, I am glad your 2 yr old can't read some of the content here. The type of language I'm seeing isn't permitted in our community. Having an opinion is usually only worth as much as it's character.  I know this whole thing is just an "apples and oranges arguement" in retrospect.
AH has a well established community and many refugee's from FA when MS destroyed much of its previous popularity with poor management. VR1 took the game to be developed away from Microsofts misguided judgement. I wish your AH community well. I'll not bother you again.

Oh, wait - I don't.

Take your pompoms elsewhere, you're bothering me.

These are from the same build you would have been using...

Well, when I downloaded the beta for FA3 beta it didn't deserve the name "beta".

The graphics at that time were horrible, absolutely horrible.  The textures were far worse than the amatuer mods for EAW.  The dials were unreadable.  The polygon count on the aircraft was much lower than AH.

The FM was a joke.  According to the version that I downloaded the Spitfire MkXIV had a top speed of 398mph.  If a game is willing to knock 50mph off of an aircraft's top speed for play balancing it isn't a sim, its an arcade game.

The sounds were the worst I have heard in a sim in more than 5 years.

For some reason I haven't wanted to spend the time to download a newer version.

BTW, a 64mb card shouldn't make that much of a difference over a 32mb card.

Please allow for the lower res - I had a bit of bandwidth consideration and reduced them from the 1152x864x32 I run the game at...

Did someone say the cockpits were unreadable? Could they read in the first place?

I have to agree, the Pilot faces look better than ours :D

I didn't know F4U's could launch Tomahawk cruise missiles though ;)
