Flawed observation but then again, that is just my opinion.
Where in this thread did anyone say the AH FM was no good?

To me the biggest drawback is that you need a box to play it. I don't do boxed anymore.

Biggest flaw of IL-2 is not being able to move head around in the cockpit(only  head on stick type views).

Unfortunaly i cant play Aces High at the moment.
So i played alot on the Hyper Lobby .

The views suk big time and over there, i only like to fly the P38 too.
In most fights i can pretty hold my own in a pure 1 on 1 bus its suks too keep a good SA since flying with no tags means. U have to almost collide with ur opponent to recoqnize the plane. I also loose the sight on planes when the very close this is not real i cannot imagine that planes that move blur in to the background when they are a few feet away from u.

I think AH is superiour compared to IL2. the feeling its a lot better.

further is suks having to shoot the crap out of german planes before they die being easily shot with a few pings from the gerry planes.

The flight model is great, feels like actually flying a real plane much more than Aces High. The accuracy of the performances is where AH shines compared to the IL2 series.

Find an online war with no icon/full difficulty settings, and IL2 trully shines and will left you savor each successfull landing, maybe even with a kill or two.:cool:

I found the FM to be so-so. But the gunnery was challengingly nice, and the graphics good. The view system was not to my taste.
Since I was already an AH veteran, I was quite amazed about the results of the FM and Gunnery model were, - in my first fight I ended up one vs 5 situation and got out without a scratch, while everyone else had a hole or two. I have not seen much of that in AH!

I was alone on my team. I was USSR and got swamped by 109's.

BTW, I was happy with the clouds, I could use them for getting out of harm's way, and the rest was AH evasive skills, hich at the time were a necessity due to the old AH lazer-gun modelling :D

To speed up the view, it's probably setting up your view in snap mode rather than pan mode in the keymaping. Removing the subtitles, I think you need to edit one of the .cfg files by hand.

One good thing in the Il-2 is that it's practically free after initial invesment.

Otherwise it's eye candy and there really is lot of planes to choose. Flight modeling is IMHO better in AH (lateral inertia is particularly strange in the Il-2).

Don't like the view, then get Track IR.

I agree though, that as it comes the view just plane sucks.

Change sides Bug and you will make the same complaint.

Be sure and there has been much whining about this.
