I agree Eagler but if I can find a lighter shade to make it less dark then that should help matters greatly.

The ack is rediculously high and the plane set is about what you find in the MA so I'll see ya's next week as well.  here's a clue 1943 to early 44 planesets seem to be very popular with the majority of folks. no one likes eating bait.

carry on.

 So you cant handle a P51D,P38L vs G-2,G-10,D-9 set up now? The ack was set at MA norms,if thats rediculous why do you fly the MA?

The G10 and the Dora are easily the planes I use least because all they are good for is running from a fight, you will usually find me running to a fight.  the 109G2 is absent from the plane set we have the very capable 110G2 but while I can hold my own in most 1 v 1 engagements in it it doesn't fare too well against multiple opponents.  

with regard to the ack issue,  the game play in the MA is significantly different from game play in the CT for two reasons, people and distance.  in the MA there are many people and if some player runs to ack one can fairly easily find a fight in the same sector thereby obtaining one's "fix" that is not typically the case in the CT.  with regard to distance TK posted another thread on the topic if your attention span will allow read it, he is spot on.

 just post if I can help you clear up any questions or lingering doubts.  I know you don't play much any more and that puts you  out of touch with the goings on in the arena.

Storch I have been working on getting it adjusted all morning so far. I have things working better and have now rebuilt my computer....something I really didn't need to spend the money on this weekend but it had to be done since this one is my wifes business machine as well.

Anyway I was leaving the G2 in the setup but changed it to the G6 and because the 262, Temepst and Tiger were perked the last time they were in the arena they are still perked. With the last minute change I forgot to talk to Skuzzy about getting them changed and now I think its for the best.

As for the puffy AAA I am adjusting that as well. I flew in there a few minutes ago to see what the range was and its ridiculous but severly inaccurate. I flew at 5k feet at under 200mph and never got hit once. Also I dove into an airbase and on the third time through the guns I got hit three times running the length of the base with no jinking to avoid any gunfire. So I think that is a little better than what it was last week. If you have anything else please let me know.

if the G6 or the G2 is enabled that should be sufficient.  I don't suspect you'll see many people in the jet.  my preferrence would be the G2.  I suppose I would have enabled the 205 and the 190A8 as well but it isn't up to me is it?  enabling the P38J, P40E and the P51B wouldn't be a bad idea either.  but then that wouldn't be 1945 would it?

 Because I am unable to play AH due to Savvis doesnt put "out of touch" with anything. Ive played longer than you so trust me, I get the game.  Who's fault is it you cant put up a fight anyway?

Just my opinion, but I'd get rid of the 262 and the Tempest.

262 is just a pain in the arse at the best of times, and Tempest is really only there to counter it.

Maybe enable the G2 for the Axis drivers. I understand it has a soft seat that helps keep the chafing to a minimum from the  leather thong:D .

Nice to see the F4U in the mix here though:)
It's gonna create some fun fights.

yep, removing these two planes can only help

why do the germans need the g2 again? it is lopsided enough without it..
