We waited months for THIS?!?
« on: October 15, 2003, 02:53:22 PM »
I can't believe it, it's like we've been cheated.  We've been giving our hard earned money for nothing new and we finally get something and it's horrible and buggy and they didn't fix the climb rate on the Ostwind, not to mention the fact that the new P51H does not show the correct color on the fuel gauge.  Chuck Yeager's Air Combat looked better than this and that was 10 FRIGGING YEARS AGO!!!  I QUIT AND AM GOING TO GO PLAY RIVER RAID FOR SOME REAL FLIGHT SIM ACTION!!!!!

Just priming the pump a little...it can't really be released if there ain't a good whine! :D

Shut up you lamer whiner.  They worked hard on this.  Natedog and Superfly now have carpal tunnel syndrome (not from using the mouse in Photoshop, but because they were working so long and hard that their personal lives can be summed up in the palm of their hand).

Pyro was seen to actually smile once this was done.  Now he won't anymore.  All because of your lamer whiner attitude.  If you don't like this, and it is obvious you don't, I, for one, am glad you are going to go play river raid.  Then the rest of us might actually be able to read the squad forum without fear.

Be gone, SOB, and I hope you are forced to move into a dry county that doesn't serve alcohol or wings!  I hope you get a tapeworm too!

Nothing will ever beat "Raid on Bungling Bay" on the C64 for pure flight sim perfection.

HT I cant speak for everybody But i think that SOB is in the minority.
Considering the small staff you have to work with and the small amount of time I am just glad to see the Beta out this soon.
Cheers.

IT IS REDIKULUS!  IT WON'T SPIT OUT MORE THAN 21 FPS ON MY STATE OF THE ART P3 1GHZ MONSTER MACHINE!  I CAN RUN 5 INSTANCES OF MINESWEEPER BEFORE I GET ANY CHOKING, WHY CAN'T I RUN ONE INSTANCE OF AH2 WITHOUT CHOKING?!?

You'd think the ostwind "rant" would have given it away...
