PYRO.....excuse me for being presumptuous

  I mean no disrespect, you and HITECH are near hero status in my old eyes.  There is no-one I would trust more to model true flight characteristics, and you have done a marvolous job.

  There is no "but" here.  The standard for greatness has been raised.  there will soon be a dozen or more on-line flight and combat sims.  I am no expert on writing games, but I am an expert on playing them.  Computer gaming has been a serious hobby since my "Dartmoth time Sharing" days, when printouts were on ticker-tape.

  Bring on the airplanes, work your magic with the flight models, but have a second "world" being worked on in the background....talk to the true experts on gameplay.

  Anyone else care to speculate on the combination of PYRO, HITECH and Sid Meier?

Only half kidding about that....if you could pull THAT off, you would be the undisputed kings for a good fith of the next century!

Pyro and I have spent lot's of hours playing sid's games.

  Sid would be proud, I'm sure

I'll attest to HT being a wicked CivNet player.

Howabout an airforce simulator?   Actually the Warbirds flight model is very docile compared to a real WWII era airplane. They're just very easy to fly. Pyro said himself once that anyone who tells you they're making things as realistic is possible doesn't know what they're talking about. Aces High will be optimized for gameplay, because it is a game. I trust HT and Pyro to make a great game, but as I've already heard that we won't have intricate engine controls and the like, this ain't no sim and neither is Warbirds.
