Excellent screenshot, did you edit it with photo shop? I'd LOVE to know how to do that...

Anyway, I would also enjoy having personal plane skins, as long as they were of official squadrons, and not some pink/orange polka dotted scheme we'd ceretainly be seeing on the "just-got-a-new-fancy-computer-newto AH-long-live-the-La-7," contingent. I would be changing the P51B's in a heartbeat..to this

Same here. I was with AW ( "Corsr," and "" since 1995, and we heard pretty bad things about the AH community. We had no choice but to come to AH when AW went dark, and the community (and gameplay) here blows AW out of the water.

'nuff said. I never played WB, nor do I wish to. I'll stick with AH!

I dont edit any of the terrain screenies I post, there as I see them in the game. ( I actually make them alittle less intense by converting them to jpeg to post here )

All the terrains can look as good as that, but it does give the frame rates a small hit .(as soon as everyone has 1+ghz pc's and 64+mb grafic cards I bet were gonna see alot more of this)

If you havent seen the previews of CFS 3 well ... now theres a sim i cant wait to test fly .But I doubt it will run AH outta the skys because of its 8 player rooms over at msn's zone.

P.s, I forgot what terrain that was from ... ive got over 170 user made terrains, along with some of my own disasters.

Theystarted in the P-39's in North Africa, then were transferred to Italy and flew Jug-25's then were given C-ponies, they were later given the D's when the other squar=drons were all upgraded. They ended the war in D's. This is what col. Charles McGee told me back in february 98.

Same color scheme but different call numbers and a little personal artwork. I would not want to see pink and orange Me109s flying around, or red F4Us. I also would not want to see Japanese A/C in British markings and so forth.

Non historical squadrons would have to get a specific scheme and stick with that. As long as the skins were not abused it might work.

id like to see this sort of thing too.

compare wb3 26 people on 3pm est. Ah 143people smaller map. If you like flying around then by all means go to wb3 its pretty. But if you want a combat sime with live action. aces high is only place to be.

Fighter aces by VR1 cheap arcade game 9.95 wb3 3 sims for 24.95 but no player base and piss poor company. ah 1 sim lots of players and attack options, so far ask question or call support they answer phones., In wb3 call support but you never get call back. And support is only there fri and sat.

what turned me away from the other flight smis and to ah is

1 ah has a free 2 week trial then after that if you dont want to pay you can continue oplay in 8 person hth

2 ah actually has a well thought out website (i never could find the download or mb in the other sims web pages)

3. ah has a huge selection of planes and is always getting more

4. i can play ah with my mouse (no joystick)

anyway ah looks like its going to be here for good then when it goes down it will be remembered like some of the previous gameing greats

Has anyone here seen the new smoke and small explosions on planes when you hit them with bullets. WOW it's like the WWII gun cams. Except in color really exceptional. Then if they're on fire they seem to blow up after a little while. atleast it did it in the offline version i got unless it was some sort of delay.

Warbirds even has road now.

Just wish the terrain and the water were more like IL2 and clouds like AH.

the cockpits are definitely looking good there also.

numbers could be better also.

Flight Model is the same as AH there really is no difference that i can tell except for the speed of some planes may differ. Aileron and elevator trim is the same. The only real difference is that when you throttle down there the planes slow down more than they do in AH. In AH if you dive Your in danger of compressing and not being able to get out of dive in all planes. I know that in some plane this was a problem like the p38 and some others but i don't know if it was this way for all off them.

Wish they had the views of AH though. really like being able to look from side to side around the canopy bars.

When i get bored with AH i go offline and play Warbirds 2vs2 the AI is pretty good except they seem to hold alot of e LOL. Can't seem to get them to fall of like i'd like them to heehee.

I got the new CD with the offline missions. don't know if the regular download has them but they might. Haven't played Warbirds online in a while.

Read that there going to have a new update soon that might fix the water texture and add few other planes. Hope they would do a little more with the terrain than they have.

They just added two versions of the p39.

any ways the price and the # of ppl there keep me here. I like a targert rich environment.
