With a mighty pull on his new zircon re-in-forced fly rod Jayhawk sets the hook.

Yeah they look like crap to me. All flat, not even 3D, can't even have a proper fight in them.

Yeah... clouds from a distance have been great in games for years.  Let's see them up close.

Oh.. btw.. I really loved this one:

What the heck is that globe thing, the Universal Studios logo?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/eek.gif)  What are those bars by it?  Do you get a superpower up if they max out?  What's the one with the heart?  My guess is that's how much the bounty the Allies put on your LW hide.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I don't really know about the clouds, they look kinda good, but there is no depth to them.

You can lose people in AH clouds, can you do that in WB?  (I don't know, I haven't tried it.)  If the game had both it would be better.

How's that halftrack anyway?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

FYI bloom; it's WWII Online, not WarBirds III.

The two bars are something like the "energy" and "health" of the pilot, iirc. Run low on energy and you black out easier...

Middle bit is a 3d compass/globe do-hickey.

Ooops, I thought it looked a little like the WB3 screenies being posted around.

I can't honestly say that the graphics look any better than AH, but it is still a beta.

I can honestly say they look worse.

Hmmm... notice the control surfaces? Ya me neither  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Just wondering Jayhawk were you being sarcastic or do you actually think they're good clouds?

Vulcan; they model the Bf 109's slats visually - and deploying assymetrically too.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Clouds look like the ones in EAW to me...

This post is an example of why the communities are always at odds... go to someone's house and say "hey, got some pictures of the really cool new car- oh, that's right, it's mine, not yours!".

 Hmmm after a long night of checking and baiting the trout lines Jayhawk looks over his catch......hmmmm caught the same ole fish. One keeper and the rest carp.

  Oh well never fails to amaze me. There are 3 types of people in here. The Open minded/free thinking, the subjective/no opinion type and then...well the carp. It was a fun experiment and the results were predictable.


You may now return to your regularly scheduled pissing contest

You should not assume that people that ignore your type of threads still don't feel that trollers are scum.

What amazes me is that you feel this thread demonstrates that in any way.

You came in with an objective (quite obvious) and drew the exact conclusion that you wanted to draw.  What amazes me is that you probably feel you fit into the "Free thinking" category.

Lemming.

There is definately "volume" to those clouds. You fly through them with full effect.

 What is amazes me is how you seem to know what is best for everybody on this board. How you seem to reply to any post that proposes any change to this game to try to make it better with a negitive attitude. BTW I did not single you out nor did I start calling you any names. Lemming bah!!! I've been flying AW (Dos Genie)/ CK / WB and now AH before you even new what a computer was. I usually don't even think of posting but I have grown sick of all the bad karma here and need to vent. Thanks for being a good subject.


PS BTW DJV I know this belonged in the O Club but posted it in the general just to piss you off   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

That's how you are labeled when you are not afraid to state your oppinion on something.  I fail to see where I have ever said "Everybody agrees with me" or "the pilots of AH want this" or "Everybody needs to play how I say they should".  

Look through my replies and you'll see that whenever someone tries to dictate how the game should be played, I speak up.  Whenever someone tries to change the rules to meet their needs, I speak up.  I do this because I don't agree with that philosophy.

You'll also notice I have never threatened to quit, told anyone to quit or basically given any kind of ultimatem to anything.  I will state my oppinion.  You can take it or leave it.  For some reason, people like you have serious trouble with letting it go.

Also, look through my posts and find out how often I "troll".

You are a lemming.  Just like everyone that starts posting "isn't this other sim great" threads in the general forum.  You did it just to solicite a response... but you did it just because you saw the response so many other similar posts have received.  That makes you just another one of the crowd.

Wow, I did not know AW dated back to 1979... does it?  Or.. maybe you just think you've done it all and automatically know more than anybody else.  Sheesh.. who thinks they know better than everyone now?

So, you thought a troll in the general forum of a competitor's product in order to "catch the same old fish" would help to detract from the bad karma?  Please... explain that logic.

It always amazes me how many people are willing to do something just for the sake of provoking a reaction.  If you don't think there is a problem with that or that it is good for the community.. then I believe you to be dillusional.

There seems very little depth there to me. Which is a shame.

But I like the idea of pilot fatigue and the manual supercharger settings.

I don't like the crappy globe/compass thing - that is so superfluous.

I commend you for using the word superfluous in an apropriate manner.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

And I agree with you.

That's the problem.  People like you that continue to be "an ass" on the boards WILL cause others to bugger off.  Soon there will only be tulips like you left.

I call for HTC to cull the herd now before that happens.

Gryf

The green is stamina and the red is blood level. Both can affect
your performance as a trooper and in any vehicle. The green
stamina bar indicates how much energy you have at a given time.
As you get fatigued you will have a corresponding loss of strength
when doing tasks, like running or moving the control stick in an
airplane. When you loose blood you have a corresponding drop in
blood pressure and stamina so you are affected sooner by fatigue
and your G tolerance is not as high as normal.
