The choice of a simpler flight model should make it possible for more people to get interested just like RR did with AW.

back in the days WB took the same path. There was a free ( or cheaper, i don't remember anymore ) version to attract new players. It never really pulled in too many new players as far as I could tell.

I doubt that WOP as meant as bait for AH. It is a new and separate business model. We're SOL if it starts making more money then AH :)

So the website for WOP that shows aircraft taking off from a CV is just not accurate?  I guess that will be changed soon.

Don't you remember what was printed on boxed games boxes in the 70s and 80s? It had nothing in common with the in-game graphics whatsoever. That only changed recently (like in the 90s), when actual screenshots were being printed.

ROFLMFAO     ummm yeah it changed many years ago because CUSTOMERS expected to get what they were shown.  I do not think that is unreasonable.

Shouldn't there just be a bikini-clad woman on the cover?

She could be lounging under a palm tree on a Pacific island -- and you see her for 1 second as you auger in.  Truth In Advertising.   :D

Yup.  IIRC, RR was always more popular than FR.

Aircraft have to come from somewhere... . It doesn't need to be edited, it's the context in which you are placing that video that is misleading.

Probably changed about the time players could start leaving reviews online for other players to see.
:cool:

And the 90's aren't that recent, old guy.  :D

Looks like we can copy/paste our settings over from AH3?

correct me if I am wrong

All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

Tested dropping my "login.cfg" into the settings folder and it logged me in. Basic settings look like they key from the other settings files. Right now we seem to be limited to what Hitech wants us to look at since I cannot change the resolution or FOV. A few guys are already sitting enqueue waiting for a match up launch.
