I know how tiring it must be to hear the same old thing over and over maniac. Maybe you (and quite a few others) should try a different aproach?

Muck> I have some profiles but been a little lazy in getting the overlay's done and doing some final tweaking. Will try and sort it out soon.

Define Lazy....Muck!

C'mon Rev, get the lead out. I can't wait all week to hijack your profile. If you don't make with the production, I'm going to be forced to find someone else to rip off!:D

Ugh, just did some dinking around in TK. My first reaction was "This is what happens when someone "thinks" they can be HTC and start a sim from scratch.

Deleted.

Surely you know the story and impetus behind TW, Rip?

Ripsnort · « **Reply #141 on:** August 06, 2003, 07:35:30 PM »

Not sure I do...but, when I go into these things, I always give the benefit of the doubt to the developer. Disappointment is a word that fits best. I don't have an agenda, just been doing flight sims since 1984...this "ain't it"...yet....

Gadfly · « **Reply #142 on:** August 06, 2003, 07:39:55 PM »

Basically, as I understand it, Data was offered to a developer to correct an ingame FM. The answer was, in brief, "If you don't like it, go make your own damned flight sim". He did, and so far as I can tell, though it may not be a current eye-candy game, the FM does not seem to be lacking. Along the way, the volunteers managed to create what they were looking for, wether or not the masses like it remains to be seen.

Strange, my computer locked up while posting, but it appeared as a reply, anyway.

At any rate, the developers of TW have done something that 99.9999 percent of the whiners of any game will never do. He (they) built a game from scratch. Just a thought to keep in mind...

Ripsnort · « **Reply #144 on:** August 06, 2003, 07:48:49 PM »

Well, I'll give it a positive note....it has room to grow!

Mini D · « **Reply #145 on:** August 06, 2003, 07:49:13 PM »

And several of the former whiners from various flights sims are going to do something very few others do: See what its like to listen to whiners from the other side.

You're a little off-base regarding my stance on AW - it wasn't the software I used to tout, it was the community and its culture. At the time we were going round about that, I felt that community had more to offer....note, "at the time". I'll stipulate that the AH software was then better, and of course has progressed favorably since then. Further, I am extremely happy with the current state of the AH community. I still think it hasn't developed to the same level of excellence that AW had at its peak, but IMO it only needs more time to do so. Its definitely moving in the right directions.

As for T:K, its really disappointing for me to have to pan it. I love jets. F86 was my favorite ride of all in AW. I hope they get it worked out.

culero (would rather see HTC do some Korea and Viet Nam era jets)

If one goes to a flight sim looking for a comfy feeling in the community, then...you're lonely...

I'd suggest calling 1-900-callafatdrunkbastard...Mini sounds pretty good for a computer geek.

They will hear the whining, and personally the game is not for me, but that does not mean I will not give them kudos for doing what they have done.

Mini D · « **Reply #149 on:** August 06, 2003, 08:08:38 PM »

Gotta agree with that gadfly. Some of the things are very well done and those doing the work deserve to be commended for their effort.
