This is exactly my sort of cup of tea but I think is so very different from Ah to not be an alternative.

Ok enough dcs on our boards
We know how it works.
-
I was about to warn you that animl does not tolerate talk of other games on this board. I see I was too late.

Playing ignorant again?
You forgot to tell him something he knows? Did you tell him to post it here instead of you two like normally happens?
I just came back from pretty planes forum. A shame there’s almost 600k bug reports.
Go talk about ither sims there on front page and watch your post removed in 5 min

Give it up animl. A poor defender you are when you threaten to quit every other week.

This is another of animl's tactics Yarbles. If the thread isn't about him or to his liking he'll do his best to get it closed.

OH MY :uhoh
I would say horses for courses. AH offers relatively immediate action DCS needs you to set at least an hour set aside to do anything worth doing.
When it comes to learning what is possible in your ride AH has it, for immersion its probably DCS.
Interestingly the reapers fly over a number of platforms which makes sense.
If I was forming a squad now and had the time I would make it a multi game squad over AH, iL2 and DCS.
The more I think about it the more I think I am going to fly AH, DCS and consider IL2. All good :aok
Plenty of people of our generation who want to fly ww2. (Also Star Wars is basically WW2) It should be available for free in the UK on the NHS to combat dementia. In the USA with a discount on your health insurance etc
Animal and AK iRON "lOVE AND UNITY IS THE ONLY WAY" :D
And finally if you want to learn ACM its def AH and $15.99 per month is very good value for so much work and works on an average PC. I wish it was still in development.
-
Thanks to showing alternatives, some other combat flight simulators could have good features. However, there is no need to post videos from other games here or promote them. I personally believe AH has the perfect balance between entertainment and good enough realism. :salute

I posted to show how different they are.
In DCS allot less action which is very typical.
If you get 2 or more fights in one hour you are busy :D
-
At 50 mins into the video they show some truly awful landings but what looked most odd was what looked like a 12,000' X 500' runway with white lines painted on it.

Those guys don't own this forum. Post what you want though the OClub is probably a better place for it.

You’re not welcome here at all by anyone. Every single time you mutts pull this you insult and disrespect the game, the bbs, and every player in it.
Me disrespecting YOU? HA!, not only are you the worst liar, you' haven't seen nothing yet. You got the powder puff slap.
I knew you would tell him to do it, and you wonder why no one welcomes you here. At you're age and these antics, you CLEARLY have some issue upstairs. You act like a 10 yr old. GET HELP

if you like your friends here, DO NOT listen to AKIron or Cpt.Trips, they love when they get someone to do what they don't want to be marred for doing so they don't get banned from here, or points against their profile. Like when they stand on the report button every time I post anything. You'd be their 6th sucker On the front page Skuzzy would have locked or deleted it. We all saw the 128 page DCS post they got some poor guy to post, and the poor guy got tarred and feathered while they did all their promoting for 128 pages. They set that poor guy up for a lashing,keeping their own hands clean. That's what they do. You're #6

I have spent allot of time in 2 on line affinity communities. WW2 flight sim games and Motorcycles.
Given the shared interest/passion I feel it is true if any of us met in real life we would get on famously :aok
I like to remember that.
Allot more in common than to differ about.
-
Animl likes to speak as if he is the official AH representative and speaks for everyone here. Pay him no mind.

You are a 70 yr old “man” who hangs on every chance to sabbatige a game population you have not played in many years. Who’s only purpose is to SKIM PLAYERS you are sickeningly obsessed. And you use others to do your dirty work. You are a very disturbed person. Mental mush. Living with you must be a living hell.
Evidently you have successfully avoided maturity at all cost.
NO ONE IS AS DISRESPECTFUL AS YOU. Your well known actions insult and disrespect this entire community. You are ignored by many for that very reason.
Why don’t you do your iwn dirty work, coward. Oh thats right, you don’t want to get banned so you can continue your mental disturbance.
You're trying to make Yarbles take your heat and we are all aware of that. Yarbles is better than that and you
Its you setting Yarbles up. You obviously do not respect him. I do.

Those landings truly were awful. They look like some of mine. :rofl
That is Manston field, Kent, England.

Yarbles, ignore animl. He is convinced someone left him in charge. :rofl
-
I do.
Thankyou :aok
I will take all the respect I can get :D
My only criticism of AH that matters is that I wish it was still under development.
The up side of that though is you do not have to spend a fortune on hardware to run it.
I realise every possible avenue to move forward has probably been explored. Perhaps we should form a Lottery cyndicate and if we win about $15 million dollars put it into the game and up date it. That would be the dream.
-
Yarbles, ignore animl. He is convinced someone left him in charge.
I think the whole community would second that sentiment. :old:
-
IRON
we are here to save our game, not yours.
We don’t care that you don’t like that reality.
You game has some serious issues and we are not your bandaid
-
Chaps, seriously:
Maybe I take too many happy pills but is this negativity really necessary.
I think we are all basically on the same page ?
Thanks for the Manston Pic BTW.
I think AH around 2010 will be the highlight of my gaming life. My unscratchable itch seems to be why is there nothing like that now :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch:
If anyone knows how or where to find it again please do tell.
Most important ingrediant was 100's of players on one server with incredibly accurate models across land air and sea. Re Animal's comment below DCS has nothing like that.
-
Let the community speak
My guess they prefer it scrolls away
My vote is it’s locked and goes away
Its a scum vehicle going fir 128 pages on the front page.
I HOPE DCS DUMPS LIKE A WET RAG DOLL. KARMA

Exactly. Animl has to stick his nose in everything and try to ruin any discussions he isn't a part of.

I want to play AH in about 2010 again. I think we all do.
-
I also want to say despite all the long running who ha everyone wants to support ah and new players or old returnees.
I completely get why Animal does not want people advertising other sims on here. I am not trying to take people from ah but am interested what people say about them. My perspective is the experiences are very different.

Certainly the years up to the GFC were really something to have been a part of.

Ca. 1944: (https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nnxwpm7as91hcsju7llfo/Maston1944.png?rlkey=c5cfamxaka7yg3ov5q9mswrnj&st=yhtsnpcn&raw=1)
I guess the idea was as the main fighter command base guarding the Eastern approach to London they needed to be able to launch boat loads of spits fast to give them time to climb to alt to intercept bombers!

When we compare AH attrition rates in B of B to the real deal I think "The Few" brave as they were wanted to blow some ammo and get home asap. The Battle of Britain AH would have lasted about 3 days but still with an allied victory.

Aces high is the best balance between realism and arcade!! It’s not slow and overwhelmingly hard to control your plane or engine like in DCS or IL2, but not so arcade-like and fake like war thunder. I would be happy if the tanks were updated to model a little more like WoT, but that’s the only thing I can complain about here
-

I think 2010 AH could easily be back, it’s just a matter of advertising and getting a team together again to push updates. You can easily compete against something like war thunder with the simple prospect of no micro transactions to get those uber better planes, just no one knows about the game

"best balance" is of course personal preference. Personally I never wanted a balance.

Except for the blood and pain. I'm okay with just simulating that.

Again is not just graphics snd game play
DCS is dripping if bugs everywhere that will not get fixed. AGAIN DS idot us selling unsupported products as a clean working game which is barely a game. Its a sim
Thanks HT, any other obstacles?

I hear this so much that I feel I have to comment as I have extensive eperince in WT and IL2 GB and want to make sure people are getting accurate info.
Warthunder SIM battles is more like IL2 or DCS then AH3.
There is a mode caled "Arcade" battles but there is also "Realistic" and "Simulator" modes.
Arcade is as it is named.
Realistic is closet to AH3 with icons and all with the exception of additonal task like engine temp management.
Simulator battles is very close to IL2 in that there are no icons until under 1k in the air and no icon on ground vehicles at all. There is no AWACS, there is no auto trim, engine/temp management is required.

Amazingly as old as WT is it still has painfully obvious bugs that you would think would be fixed. Two that I have recently seen (both in VR) are:
1:flaps on one of the F4u versions rotate in a way that they would drag on the ground in real life.
2: the cones on the afterburners actually move around the engine when you move your head in VR

Some jave far more free time to fly. I stay pretty busy with other things these days.

Always amazing to me to see players with over 100 hours, especially today. Most I ever did was like 80 one summer during high school vacation and even that felt like a lot...

Is that time actually in the air or counting hours just logged in sitting in the tower while the pilot eats dinner and watches a little TV?
-

In the air or tank. Sitting in the tower doesn't count towards time, so yeah it's even longer if you factor in that.
-
100 hours is a long time? Per tour? Per ?

This is totally ignoring the fact that those who do know about AH and try this game out don't subscribe. The conversion rate is abysmally low. Advertisement costs money and is pointless if the generated subs do not recoup that money.
See the Steam launch - we had thousands of new players signing up for a trial, everybody of us was excited about that success (inluding HiTech) - and then they just went away.
So it's not "just advertise it!" - or do you think HTC would have ever stopped advertising if it still worked?
-
100 hours is a long time? Per tour? Per ?
Each tour, only about 3% of the recorded pilots have 100 hours or more of 'time in sortie'.
For the record, my personal 'best' (or worst, depending on how you look at it) was 235 hours... and of course that did not include time in tower watching the map or planning the sorties (which would add at least 25 to 40 percent). When I was a regular, I was approximately spending 130 hours per tour "in sortie", of course you would again have to add planning time, time spent as a trainer in the TA, doing stats stuff and helping players on the BBS and such...
