Simplified flight games  are rubbish, controls weird (rudder) , e-retention from X-wing and otherwise *poop*.

Realistic game mode , thats totally different kind of game. But there arenīt servers around, all idiots want to play simplified where tactics and planes do not matter. Just how you can fly with MOUSE!

If there were realistic game lobby with realistic settings then I would enjoy.

I was not impressed.

However, I may give it another go.  Maybe.

But since it is arcade it doesn't matter.  It is just graphics at that point.

This might be a good thing for HTC. Bringing more business here after they've got a taste for it over there.

Interesting. They have a pretty large selection of planes! Signed up and downloading right now. Reading over their forums.

Poor taste advertising an open beta for a competitor.

You sign up for an account and there is a 5gb download. Mine is just finishing now. Looks like most controls are supported.

Most of my old squad disappeared to fly this game. Most of them seem to have left as well. Likely the best advertising we have for AH is to let them play that game for a week. They'll be back with friends in tow.

Boo

Ditto Scotch.  A waste of perfectly good bandwidth downloading that was.  Delete!

I'm sure this will help AH a lot in this case :aok

I d/l'd it, tried it, didn't care for it, and deleted it. All in same day.

Still a lot of work to do on this one.  Also, a lot of info not out yet.  It is after all still a beta.

  That being said, it has a lot of potential and offers control of things like prop pitch, oil cooler and fuel mixture in simulator settings.

And yes, it works with a joystick (or multiple USB controllers).

But be warned, setting up hat views is a pain.
