Il2

[Shooter]

I have been flying a bit of IL2 lately and I have enjoyed it-The best thing is I have yet to see any "dweeb calling"  "HO" whining or any other crap!  Been with AH since beta and Im tired of seeing newbies and old guys alike spending more time complaining and proving what poor sports they are then flying having fun and helping some of the newbies come up right-Shooter:)

Played that game myself the Demo actually, and the graphics i thought were marvoulous.  Bad thing was that my comp couldnt handle it all.  Warps all around.  

I guess the community kind of feeling.. Knowing everyone is what keeps me here

Well, with regards to the Il-2 community, I would take a look at the SimHQ message board dedicated to it.  You will see there is as much flaming, accusing and whining as there ever is here.

I personally like the AH community better, but that is because I am familiar with it.  I also like AH better, though Il-2 is a good sim itself.

Different strokes for different folks.

It is funny how one gets familiar with something and in turn finds faults with other products.  I just downloaded the IL2 demo and started to play it.  I instantly found myself saying, "Ok, the graphics are very nice, and the planes look well, however, what's with this view system?" and  "I don't recall being able to do *that* in a 109 in AH." and "What's with this flutter?" and "Ok, hearing those AI guys scream out 'One, check your six' in German/Russian was cool the first time, but now it is very annoying."

I wonder if the situation were reversed if I would be saying some of the same things about AH..."Wow these graphics are dated." and "Hey, howcome I can't do *that* in my 109?" and "Where is the AI?"

Oh well, I'm glad I downloaded the demo, and I might use it as a diversion on occasion, but I certainly don't see myself abandoning AH for it.  I just like AH better, I guess...

Wasint suggesting anyone quit AH, Just wanted to get some people thinking about all the squeaking and complaining-The Demo Version Of IL2 sucks compared to the full game with the updates-that solves the flutter problem as well-IL2 offline is a great way to practice as the AI is awesome and you can set up as many bad guys as you want-Im Still loyal to AH but would like to see an end to the weenie sportsmanship-it used to be rare to have a whiner and when we had one everyone would get on em about it-now it's the norm-Shooter

actually you can now make ah graphics just as good as il-2's (just use terrain editor to create the skin )
