Frankly, I think the 'multiple level' system is a failure. The same thing has been proven again and again in numerous games - such as FB.. Such great potential and yet, 80% of Hyperlobby rooms are practically arcade.

I think that was the lesson the Kesmoids started to learn with AW before the plug got yanked. It was planned for AW4 to get rid of the relaxed realism flight model and the multiple arenas and just have one main arena using the new flight model.

Here ya go Lazs...

I modified the trophy design I made for Hazed... adding some planes to it. We are talking about Drex, Levi and the BKs... Just wouldn't be right if it didn't include a big furball.

hey now.. that's a darn nice trophy... even used myu shift knob for the candle! All it needs is some fat blue planes.. It is nice to notice that the furballers dominated the competition.

That's my understanding also. Except it would have made for one very large RR arena. The new super, dooper complex FM had training wheels being welded on inspite of it's "Ultra-realism" tag by the AW-4 team. Not user selectable automations. Features neutered for, as I recall, the reasoning being that the AW4 team "knew" that players didn't want to tackle much of a learning curve nor have to deal with "tedious chores" and other "b.s. realisms."

From my understanding it would selectable user options similiar to WB's old EZ-mode and AH's stall limiter and combat trim. Even with the EZ mode (think it was a G-limiter in AW4, similiar to our stall limiter) enabled in AW4, the pilot that flew without such crutches would have the advantage since the EZ mode pilot wouldn't be able to get max performance of his plane by riding the edge of the envelope. Alas, we'll never know.

It was awfully nice of the furballers to defend the honor of AH. I'm sure you won't hear any criticism of "furballin'" for at least a few days. However, it's really not fair to leave the strat types out of the fun. Maybe somebody could run some gang bangin' or milk runnin' competitions?

Sorry Russian...

Something came up and the WB team had a bit of trouble finding a day/time that they could host it at. Rounds 3 & 4 are now going to be flown this Sunday night at 9pm EDT.

If anyone is interested in flying for the AH team, just lemme know here.

yowser.. the duel was ruined by the furballers.. if we had enlisted strat guys it would still be going on.
