Don't worry Nash I think most of us would never look at one person and claim him/her was the mold for a country.

HS is at best a moronic hothead who can't help but shoot his mouth off. Unfortunatly WB suffers for it.

P.S. I always thought Eagler was my leader!

So let me get this right just because someone voiced their opinion your ready to tar and feather the company they work for...interesting. All communities have disagreements, I play AH, WB, GPL, N4 whatever, politics play no roll in my decisions on what game to play.

HS has a right to say what he wants and you have the right to disagree, but some of you always have to take it to the prettythanghole level.
Well to each their own.

I recognize that in the post clinton era, people may have forgotten what an apology looks like. Here is an example to remind you. " I was wrong. I am sorry"

As far as IEN is concerned. It is a common practice to dismiss an employee whos stupidity threatens the financial stability of the corporation.

First off, it was not my "final" comment.
In fact the following monday my comments where clarified to everyone understanding.

However if you wished to not use our product based on opinions of comments unclarified, or the political views of anyone on the developement team, thats your choice.

Just please post follow up messages, not just a quote that supports your point of view, that is an abuse of free speech, and insults the people that gave us such rights.

F86 ruled the skies of WBIII tonight, although I got one in an A6m3 and a Yak3(they are lucky there was no Val available).

tried WB3

still feels mushy

gunnery still seems a bit odd. I was in a 109F4 and laced the entire wingroot of a P51 with the 20mm, with no effect.

it just doesn't feel right! they have my favorite plane (109E) but what good is it?

ah well, that was about 10 minutes of entertainment. back to the G-10 and the fun of the MA

Bummer for me, eh?

I guess it all come down to everyone's right to put their foot in their mouth.

I believe the original topic was Warbirds III and its free 1 week trial...

When it was free for an entire month I played it for all of 10 minutes. Everytime they release a new version, I install it and fly it for the 20 seconds it takes to see that it still looks like crap on my Voodoo 5500 with clouds that are jittery and have visible tile borders (like X-planes version 6 demo, but unlike every other new game I have tried that has come out before or since WB3, which all look fantastic including IL2, Operation Flashpoint, SAR3, Hitman, etc.), then uninstall it. Of course WB3 lost me from the start when iEN revealed that WB3 is essentially WB2 with a new graphics engine. There were only 2 reasons I had WB2 on my computer: offline AI for target practice and head-to-head on LAN. Since HTC added LAN capability, neither is installed on my computer.

I could care less what HS says, I am more interested in what he has done and will do in terms of programming. So far, WB3 has fallen far short of his boasts for me. I don't find its graphics revolutionary or even good (some of the planes look like caricatures of the real ones) nor its modeling to be any more realistic than WB2 since it essentially is the WB2 flight models. I can't see how WB3 will ever really be competitive with Aces High as long as HTC continues to develop and refine the game at the present pace.
