It is. I'm not crazy about the heavy weld/rivet lines and I vehemently HATE the latest trend to model those thick black lines for antenna's. Otherwise it is a fine looking plane.

(bet it flies like a Spit IX and it's four guns shoot like 50mm cannons

Just look at that "BFG" under the port wing-root!)

Well actually, I was referring to the plane... the terrain graphics are horrid and that looks more like a CAD model to me than an actual in game screenshot.

I want the plane... nothing else.

EDIT: Mav, FA3 is Fighter Ace 3... another Microtoejam product, hardly worth a download.

Microsoft dumped Fighter Ace. It's solely a VR-1 product now.

Ah, didn't know that Raub.

Either way, FA3 appears (by this SS) to be a long, long, long ways away.

fa3 is open beta.

Its a huge Download check it out.

Personnally its not for me. The biggest draw there is invisible cockpit arenas.

they have a ju-188

It is serious competition to AH for those that favor eye candy over substance and have the computing power to get a decent frame rate. With a sizable planeset as well. Cheaper too at 9.95 per month.

But better graphics don't necessarily make it a better sim or a better game. I don't think all that much of WB3 despite the bragging about how superior their graphics are and now it is higher priced too.

I doubt the final version of FA3 is gonna improve much over the current free beta, and in its present form, I still find AH to be the better sim. If VR1 aggressively continues to improve their sim the way HTC does with AH, then HTC going to be facing some serious competition.

Ok, I have no desire for this to turn into FA3/WB3/AH who's better thread...

Now, if you wanna discuss the F4F-3 as a viable plane in AH or how cool it looks, or how stubby and perty it is and would be in AH, then that's okay....

But nothing else! mmmmkay?

Funny title for a post that doesn't want to compare FA3 to AH.

By virtue of the original post, you are explicitly comparing planeset and/or models and asking HTC to beat out FA3.

F4F most certainly belongs in AH and will one day be there so why mention FA3 at all other than for comparison?

AKSWulfe · « **Reply #13 on:** March 01, 2002, 01:07:41 PM »

How so?

Let's analyze it right quick... "HTC!!!" That calls HTC's attention.

"Don't let", means do not allow

"FA3" Fighter Ace 3

"beat you"... get there first

{picture of Wildcat}

Should be pretty self explanatory since that plane is not in AH, and I have been asking for one for quite some time now.

Since FA3 is already in open beta...

FA3 already beat AH to having the F4F, P-40, A-20, B-25..., so what are you really saying?
