I would set it too. The maps were boring and the airfield numbering system ackward..  The ack was deadly beyond reality.

Hehe, I had to read that twice as I wasn't sure if you were talking about AH or WB's. That statement really could apply to both :).

Big difference between WB3 and AH is...

My computer can't run WB3.

When S3's switched from 2.77 to WBIII, I had to give my money to Hitech.  My P2-400 does fine in AH

There's little quirks that WB players don't like about AH, and visa versa.

Best thing to do is DL it and fly both for a month online, then decide what you like the best.

after AW tanked, i spent a few weeks at WB. FM seemed ok to this former RR flyer, graphics were awesome, customer support was responsive to my questions. but there was only like 10 people flying whenever i logged on.

so some marketing genius over there must have thought a good way to attract new customers was to raise prices!

Is it just me, or when you read the title of this topic, did you also hear the whistle of bombs dropping? :p

Actually, it was a three formation of Lancasters dropping 3-4000lb bombs then dumping their remaining 27000lbs of irons.

What can you really say when our Training Arena has more players than their main? I think it falls short on a lot of important gameplay elements that AH seems to do right.

It's got some nice features, but not as many as AH.
For me the big problems are the same ones that drove me out of WB2 in the first place - artificially mushy flight model and dumbed down gunnery.  They have improved the gunnery but the mush remains.

From what I've read both SimHQ and Combatsim get money from iEN if they get signup's from advertising the free weekends at both sites.

I hear a lot of comments about "mush" here.  As a former Warbirds pilot, yes, the controls did get a lot mushier with the addition of stick forces to the flight model.  In other words, it will take 1-3 seconds to go from full aileron deflection one way to the other at 300mph or so.  Is this accounted for in AH?
