wat is the arment for this plane? ( looks like lazers :noid)
is it only a 1 time CON. plane? :confused:
-
i though a new surpirse would be like b29, or one of the other planes that we have been askin for. Rv8 shouldnt make the regular plane set because it wasnt in ww2 but at least hav it in the t/a to mess around wit. i heard it had 20mm vulcans on it(i heard im not sure). Somethin like the p80 shooting star would have been cool since it was beening flown during ww2 just not in combat. Whether i can play around wit it offline or in t/a great, i dont want it in m/a(its not a real ww2 plane) but i would like to see it again.
-
I don't want to see it again EVER. :furious

They look like 7.26 mini guns. Those are small, electircally powered gatling guns.

Correction, they are small, electrically powered gattling guns that fire 1000+ rounds per minute! :O
-
The RV-8 is a nice plane for sure, but I takes a man to fly the RV-8A.
:D

why is htc making a plane for one day when we dont have b29,p40n,ki43 etc. And still they havent fixed all the bugs. A c205 hits me once in the wing and takes half of it off. I had a dam hellcat. I have noticed that about it, it comes of toooooo easy. Then we have my favorite problem, the ruber bullets. The list goes on. I thinks its just retarded to make a plane(that isnt real) for one day when there is still alot to add. I bet all of u can name 5 planes and gvs that they should add to the game rite now.

Bet you complain about strippers.

It probably took them all of one day to make it. The skin wasn't exactly detailed and weathered and they obviously didn't have to go out and find any combat or performance data on the thing.

Only derated ones..mini-guns can do 6000 rpm.

Rino: That's what I'm sayin'! :)
By the way, how did it handle? Was it a spitfire clone? Any WEP? How fast?

I didn't fly one, but somebody typing on range (it's on my film, too; he could be wrong) was saying that it's WEP doubled the engine output and it climbed at 6,000 FPM. Other spots around the board say it turned inside a Zeke and did around 200 MPH in level, non-WEP flight.

That sounds about right from what I've heard. A real RV8 cruises at about 200, climbs about 2500 fpm and could certainly turn inside of Zeke. That's with a 200hp 4 cyl Lycoming engine, suppose if you give it "2xWEP" for 400hp you'd probably see the numbers everyone is quoting.

Why not concentrate on correcting known bugs in the game instead of turning non-combat planes that weren't even around during WWII into ConToys?
There have certainly been numerous requests for LEGITIMATE planes from WWII which aren't currently in AHII. Wouldn't it have been better - and just as much fun - to model some of those, then let the people at Con INTRODUCE them to the game? They would have the honor of being the first to fly the new models.
If non-WWII planes are allowed - and the other goofy things cons have produced in the past - and if the response is "lighten up and have fun" - then why not let us make and post ANY skins - you know - FUN ONES, too?
Why does one side of the mouth claim to maintain historical accuracy while the other side speaks like a clown?
Hey , I know - let's just start making up all sorts of crap; I mean the limits on historical planes have been lifted, so... Let's see flying doghouses called the Snoopy MkII, modified bats called the VH-8, flying bathtubs which can hold massive water bombs, small remote control fighters you can control from the ground to kill vulchers...
If we aren't going to stick to WWII planes, why stop with the RV8?
If AHII is going to be a somewhat historical WWII simulator, then STICK TO ACTUAL WWII PLANES!
And don't tell me to go somewhere else. When I started seeing a bunch of 1955-era planes flying about with gatling type guns, I logged.
If I want to play fantasy games, there are FAR better offerings out there than AHII.
I only live 40 miles from Dallas. Last night reminded me why I skipped the Con.

Yet another post of someone who doesn't relize just how short the of time that was needed to create such a simple plane really was.
-
See Rule #4, #7
-
whether it was short or not its still time taken away from other planes that should be done. Rubber bullets and other bugs(weak hellcat wings) need to be fixed, rv8 takes time away from it. Historical accuracy and just have fun, its hard to have both. I would like to have a custom paint on my mustang and corsair... thats not accurate, but ok rv8 lets have fun? If they spent 3 hours on rv8 thats 3 hours tooken away from other things like bugs or new planes(that were in ww2).
Instead of rv8 they should of did the p80, it was flyin during ww2 it just wasnt combat ready, that would have been fun. They should make rv8 an offline plane at least, then it wont be an entire waste of time.
Yea 600 bucks or so for a trip to just do to a small ah con is kinda dum, not like its in vegas, atlantic city or somethin. U could hang out at the con for alittle then go and do somethin else.

Bandit get over it . The model was probably always there in some fashion. It's HT personal AC ever think HT modeled it long ago for his own personal use?
As for historical accuracy it was for what 4 hours tops. I say let you have your own skin for the same time would that make you happy?
Guess what it's not all about YOU.
As for rubber bullets turn your Vsync on.
If you have a problem with hellcat ripping wings off .. send film and do the research to back up how many Gs with what load it could pull.
As for the going to the con. If I had not been out of work 9 months due to injury, I'd a been there. I had a few squad mates there I'd like to meet. From what I have read and heard everybody had a good time.
Quit whining HT throws these things for PR . Don't like it don't go to the con and don't fly the night of the con mission.

A c2 barely raked me, one hit on the wing and it broke n half, it wasnt under any g's, i have tryed to break this plane under g's and nothin happens. The f6f is one of those planes that was known for being rugged, if a la7 can pound on a fm2 and i can turn around and kill him f6f should have the same type of strenght.
If the con was a 2 3 hour drive ok, but its not. It should have been in a city where there more things to do, like miami. THere aint nothin to do but play AH and thats somethin u could do at home. Lets say i spent 1100 to 1500 bucks on a trip, i want to do more then play wit rv8. If u want to meet guys that play the game im pretty sure u can set up regional locations, it doesnt have to be an 1500 dollar trip, just a 2 hour drive.

Film lets see the proof. If no film its anecdotal and means nothing. Like I said film it send it in.

HTC is a small company with limited resources. Also I am thinking the con is best the way it is. Its a small gathering of enthusiasts. Meaning the style of it keeps the tards away.

Aces high can afford that commericial on the military channel i see a good 5 times a day they can get a good deal to hold a convention on the miami strip or some where in florida.
Its funny because when i record my flights nothin happens but when the tape isnt rollin ill down a hurr 2 la7s and 2 ju88 in a fm2. Next time i take out f6f ill roll film.

Miami huh? I take offence at that! If Miami was so great it would be in Texas. LOL I've been there, it's an "S" hole. Should be raised to the ground and covered in concrete.

Why is it I get the feeling that had some of these guys gone to the Con with the attitudes expressed here, they would have likely spent a portion of the evening in the hotel dumpster?
Gentlemen, the Con is a celebration of making friends and having fun. It is also a tradition to run the Evil Con Mission. Inasmuch as you had to be flying near the one base from which RV-8s were spawning, you had the entirety of the map remaining, where no RV-8s would be. A few years back, they introduced the Me 163 at the con. The Evil Con Mission was centered on flying 163s with tons of ammo and an hour of fuel. They howled about that one too.
Ya know, if they gave them solid gold toilets, these guys would still find a reason to pee on the seat.
My regards,
Widewing

No these would be the "whaaaaa ht let the con goers up rv8 tards". The entrance to the "Tard" club is that way------> . Your table is waiting.
Its hard to just get the cream of the crop hardcore flight sim guys witout geting dweebs.
LMAO its a game get it. Ht said it himself. Or do you want to do preflight checks ...warm ups...ect ect.
Aces high can afford that commericial on the military channel i see a good 5 times a day they can get a good deal to hold a convention on the miami strip or some where in florida.
Could it be this is the reason the con is the way it is? Might it be he can afford huge con and no TV time...Or small con and TV time. I'd still rather have the small con with the dedicated people.
Its funny because when i record my flights nothin happens but when the tape isnt rollin ill down a hurr 2 la7s and 2 ju88 in a fm2. Next time i take out f6f ill roll film.
Ya shame aint it. The record button is soooo difficult to find.

Gentlemen? You are giving them credit here. They have no sence of what the community is about much less tradition. While I am fairly new to AH, I am not new to MMOWW2 flight games. What they lack is empathy . If its not about them, it is at best nothing that concerns them. At worst, useless and should be removed.
Ya know, if they gave them solid gold toilets, these guys would still find a reason to pee on the seat.
Sadly they come from the same mentality as the .... Couldn't find there arse with both hands and a map. I pity them

Once again forgive me Widewing . But these types that want to pee on others fun because it conflicts with.... What they deem relevant .... Really aggravates me to no end.

Cept it wasnt modeled for the con. It was already around, but not public knowlege. It's a developers tool. Makes sense to me that the developers personal plane is modeled to QC the flight model. Not like its reasonable to expect to have a priceless warbird on hand to make comparisons with.

WW: The problem with going somewhere else on the map is that there WAS no one anywhere else on the map. I spent an hour flying around looking for a fight, but practically everyone was in the furball at the Con mission.

I went to the con had a blast will go back next year even if its in New York I dont care Some guys spend 1000.00 bucks in one day flying RC airplanes when they crash I can crash as many times as I want to and not out but 15.00's. If you ask anyone at the con they will say it was a good time. Oh and all the beer. People that complane about the con just are not dedicated. And the RV8 was a blast to fly It had twin Vulcan 30mm Cannons not a lazer. There was talks about it going into the TA but no guns I think not shure on the no gun thing.
Well all you sour pusses have a great day sorry yall didnt make it. If ya had ya wouldnt be complaning trust me.

Evidently, everybody else liked the con furball while you pouted. I also would have been at the con mission furball. It sounds like it would have been a blast and my ego wouldn't be brusied by a minigun armed RV-8 on a once a year lark for a couple of hours. I'd have been trying to Kill one.
why is htc making a plane for one day when we dont have b29,p40n,ki43 etc.

Vampiress sounds new (june 96) ... or at least this bbs account is. But yeah, since it posts here it should be able to figure out the search feature and check out the history of the community and not just the game. I don't have a lot of faith but I have some. Afterall, when I discovered AW in 96 (yeah yeah, I'm relatively a pup to some) I immediately edumacated myself about the community foist before I even flew the game offline, much less on. But then, I'm a rather exceptional kinda putz. Elvis lives. :D

Yeah, i know about evil con missions. If you read my post it is easy to see I allude to the other goofy crap that has been put into the air for such tomfoolery.
And yes, i DO "get it". A bunch of WWII aviation buffs who spend hours playing a WWII aviation game get together once a year to fly...non-WWII planes or worse for their grand mission.
WOO HOO!!!!
Kind of funny the mission you talk about the most each year is not even flown with WWII planes now isn't it?

Sheesh :D
Few things...
First of all, don't mind bkbandit. He's from NYC. We have to at least give him credit for being borderline literate (can you tell I'm from CT? :D )
Second, to those complaining that the con was small... YOU try organizing anything of any size. Sport tournament, fundraising dinner, party at a rented out club, AH2 convention, you name it, it's a pain in the butt, and the organizers deserve a little more credit and less cuts.
Third, it's one night a year for about four hours that you're "inconvenienced." As I've said in other threads, with any girl, you're looking at at least one week a month of the same. I'd think anyone who's ever had a date could deal with the con night aggravation by now.
Fourth, the con sounds like a blast... I will definately have to get there one year. I'd say the highlight of my flight sim "career" was meeting Del, Hoarach, Tower, Cav58 (briefly), and others at Corsairs Over CT last year... A good time and very nice to finally put at least a few faces to some names. Heck, it was fun and I even had to drive home after so I couldn't get sloshed. I can only imagine what meeting 70ish of you guys and getting completely hammered would be like :)
-
Man there is a lot of WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA:cry :cry :cry in here.
For the RV-8...look it up on the inernet. It's a very small sport plane. HiTech owns one, and thats what we flew. HIS PLANE!!! Same paint job, the cockpit was modeled off of his plane. It was armed with 2 20mm Vulcan Cannons with 3000 rds of ammo, good for about 30-40 seconds of firing time. The engine was rated at 200HP and doubled with WEP to 400HP. Top speed was around 200MPH and it would turn inside of a A6M no problem.
The CON was a blast!!!! Well worth the $700 I spent to make the 2 day drive with a fellow squadie out and back and spend 4 days in Dallas. For me this was my summer vacation and I loved every minute of it. Everyone I met at the CON and drank beer with and talked too. You guys are great:aok The CON is ALL about having a good time.
To the people crying about it, pony up the money for the next one and go see what it's all about. You wont be crying then unless it's due to laughter.
I will see everyone at the next CON.
