Two things AH does better than anyone else
« on: November 13, 2002, 12:19:29 PM »
Well firstly I'd say there a lot of things AH does better but from playing a few other sims this week there are two things that stand out that all other flight sims should steal from AH:

View system: even without the Linda Blair thing  it's amazing how restrictive other sims seem. Configuration is easy and provides everything you need. Flying anything else I feel like I'm half blind after playing AH.

Built in, easy to use, stable VOX: no more RW, TeamSound and setting up VOX hosts or the stillborn Open Voice in IL2.

No doubt there. That is "the" one feature that has kept me from playing other sims for anytime longer than a few days.

Since when did having liberal 6 views in AH excited you guys so much, while WWII  pilots just simply had to develop actual tactics to guard realistic blindspots. Why is this such a simulation feature you feed upon? Or is it the gameplay you like?

Flying half blind irritates you guys so much, yet you promote the limited icon CT arena like it’s panacea of flightsim realism ? Why?

Because the limited icons combat this unlimited 6 view feature?

Since when did AH have a mouse scroll feature with TrackIR http://www.naturalpoint.com/?

Say you like it, but 'better' is a stretch.

-In the P-51D, with the bubble canopy, could you just turn your head and look back? Or did the head rest obscure a lot of the view?

-In the P-51D you could look back, yeah.

-It was good?

-Yeah, yeah.

-So the fact that you had a backrest there did not obstruct the view a lot?

-Yeah.

-But in the P-51B, if you turned back, could you see anything?

-In the B plane you could see nothing. Nothing.

-Could you see better in the P-51C than on the B?

-Much, much better.

-So the Spitfire kind of canopy helped a lot?

-Yes. You could turn your head and look back."

Yes AH view rule. Hard to imagine why otherwise excellent games have let HT own this catagory for so long....
I think the air to air gunnery is better then any other game as well.

Ease of views? Then I find TrackIR easy, how does AH compare? Even a mouse look is superior, without being cheesey gameplay.

And what got you so close to god to ahmen the post that backs me up?

Was it the P-51 D model and it's obvious acounts of good 6 view, or the B model account saying" -But in the P-51B, if you turned back, could you see anything?
-In the B plane you could see nothing. Nothing.

PomGo, HT owns the MMOG or whatever it's called because of excelling at flightsim gameplay, not simulation, and we are arguing how close they could close the gap within reason. It's just fun to dog on the guys that totally disregard the diffrence between what's simulation and not.

It's all a matter of opinion, there is no right or wrong.
