Heh Rip, know that 'disease'. I got out of it when I started playing AH.

Dinnae need more games than AH, and AH lasted and lasted

Will be back in AH once I get the stupid access control/lightning control system up and running

Flight sims I definately got my moneys worth from:

Falcon 3.0
Aces of the Pacific
F-117 Stealth Fighter
JF2

Most the rest came and went with some interest, but they just weren't captivating to me. I have Falcon 4 now, but just can't get past the initial learnings to get into the game.

Dunno... but it seems that when I bought those games... the amount of information available on them was not as abundant as what is on the web now. These days, reviews are on-line prior to release and the entire game breakdown is on the net somewhere before the end of the first day of release. There are simply fewer suprises.

Kinda makes you wish like you could just pick up the phone, call your IT folks and say, hey can you drop off a copy of Falcon 5.0.

NO! Thats not our jurastiction dammit. Besides we never go down that floor or area, too much politics. Go get your own copy!

Hahaha. Just kidding.

Heh.. Well Rip lets hope this one slips past the vultures...

My IL2 view system complaints...

If I have to use a SNAP view system, IL2's is too slow
(rumoured to be adjustable in FB)
I'd prefer instant views which are more realistic from the brain's POV +)

eyes pivot on a point... with NOOO adjustability (AH spoiled me)

3 keys to adjust zoom levels, a toggle would suffice
and they do change head position somewhat as well making them more useful but!! key config makes em a pain

cockpit obstructions.. too obstructive..(that a word?)

I feel your 6 view is too restricted

and lastly.. If i had a third arm and hand this game might be great as is..

I prefer even ww2ol's view system to il2

You obviously subscribe to the theory that life is a game: whoever has got the most toys when he dies wins

Meitla, you have too many computers and stuff. You need a good systems administrator who types a million characters a second to help you sort all that stuff out. BTW: Do you have any rats? I wonder if the typing and all the ruckus would intimidate the rats?

Hahaha. Just kidding, lol.

I was deprived as a child, allright ?

All I had to play with were stones and sticks
