The 30 dollar unlimited offer...

[Brett Smith]

Hey, AHA... it's funny listening to you talk about dweebs <eg> Also, another question, since when did you start calling yourself Whistling Death? I've never seen ya with that handle...

As for AH, sounds good, I'll prolly give it a try, but I also want to wait on the other sim soon to be realeased, and AW: Vietnam and see what develops. THe pricing is halfway decent though.. good mix between Gamestorm and the absurd rates you have to pay for Warbirds

Veltro: I feel your pain, it's about the same over here in Germany. Internet access is still way too expensive especially for online players due to timed local calls. I just hope that the people "in charge" will realize one day that a fast connection to the web is not a luxury anymore.

Veltro,

Funny how nobody has even mentioned the Microsoft product thats just on the horizon.
FIghter Ace II...heres a blurb from their website..
 http://www.zone.com/fighterace/news/tbltnewsbetapeek.asp

Has many of the features of AH..and will be only 10 bucks a month unlimited..
maybe a place for the poor folks to go..

Desert fighters might have been worth looking into..if they didnt kill the project..

FIghterace was just a pure furball with terrible graphics..this looks like it might give AH some competition.

Usually bout 1000 logged into Fighterace on any given night..Im sure it will steal many AW and WB pilots.Like AH..we will just have to see

Most of the folks here don't consider anything by MS to be a true flight sim, more of an arcade game.  Oz sure is getting better than the last time he saw it ages ago, but ozreckons it not quite up to the realism standards of most folks here.

And Desert Fighters was kilt.

Kats I'd like to know where you play golf at if it is only costing you $30. I can't play for less than $300...I mean the plane alone is $100 an hour and all the duct tape to put the club on the wing is alot plus let's not forget all the lost golf balls.

I dont like the flat 30$ rate. Its OK the months I play a lot, but its not worth it in the long term. U want me to cancel my account every time I go on holiday, or is away for other reasons? Nahhhh...I dont like it...better to pay for the time u actually are online.

[Razorback]

I think the $30 price is great.  In fact, that is the amount I kept fighting for as a fair price for unlimited WB.  I applaud HTC for recognizing the current Internet gaming market structure as well as the need for a flat rate.  If this doesn't kill WB, I don't know what will.

I do believe AW will survive though, as its lesser realism arenas are often full and serve a market group not targeted by WB or AH (with any real force).

Kill iMOL, thank God Eidos CK is dead too.

Do I think 30$ US a month is alot for an online non-persistant game?

Yes

Do I think 30$ US a month is alot in comparison to the other online flight simulators?

No

Is this price justified?

No clue

If you really want to know, ask someone who is really experienced with paying lots of money for online flight sims.

I'm not one for flight simulators but I might try it out anyway.

Conclusion:
Well, my message was pointless but...  If you enjoy this game, (and you're not on welfare   that justifies the cost... right?

..and that is all..
Well, back to half-life & mankind!

[mememe]

Whats all the flack about 30 usd's ? ..heck ..cost more to take a date to the picture show...costs more for a descent dinner.....360 bucks for a year of fun ? I'll take that !  especially since my kids like this game...take them skiing for one day costs nearly 400 dollars...30 dollars...noooo prob !..they sit there for hours playing this....heck..i think i'll buy another computer just for them for this !

[Wizard]

Now that I have played for a few minutes I will now endorse the $30 minimum.  The screaming of the paratroopers convenced me that this is going to be a fun game.....

[nicko]

I'm joining. Bugger the exchange rate. Screw the credit card limit. There are many other things we spend money on everyday that are a complete waste of time.

Food for one. Utilities, rent and clothing are also severly over-rated.

I'm also pretty sure that if i can get the right letter from the doctor i can get some of this back on my health insurance. Or at least a tax deduction.

It's just a question of priorities.

[Tigger]

I don't believe what I'm reading here!

For about 4 years I've read the gripes about paying $2 and hour too costly for a flight sim. Along comes another sim that will be asking a set fee for unlimited flight, this is what many people have been asking for(not me however) and now many feel that $30 U.S. is too much! Now some want to see $6 to $9 for unlimited play.

Geeze why not just demand free playing time?
You can always take your money somewhere else right?

I'm sure AH and crew don't need to feed and dress their families, make house or car payments, or have any of the other expenses that the rest of us have to contend with.

Get real if you don't like the proposed cost don't play it when it goes pay, in the mean time the beta is being offered as free, fly it, help make it a better product, it's not costing you a thing.

And don't give me grief over the exchange rate, I buy music CD's "at street price" from CD Japan and each one I buy of my favorite singer ends up costing me around $50 U.S. about double what I pay for a CD produced stateside.
