I wholeheartedly agree, AH is better!

 

[AKSeaWulfe]

How is the WB flight model better? If anything, aren't WB and AH virtually the same in respects to the flight model?

Pre-1.04 I would definitely say the FM difference between WB and AH was great enough to say that one was wrong.

Since then WB and AH have had virtually the same FM, so how does this make WB's better?

I don't see how HT would have certain things included in WB and forget how to model them when he built AH?

 What is that supposed to be? Honestly? And what are the creators credentials? It's an anonymous and ambiguous htmml page. <shrug>

SeaWulfe the FMs are far from the same. In WBs any model of the Fw-190 is regarded as a flying dumptruck. Here you can actually turn pretty sharply in one, albeit not for a long time. In WBs you can't do anything very sudden, here you can. This is why I like AH over WBs; AH is more realistic. Here I can pull an actual snap-roll, hammerhead, not to mention flip-stall any plane. And you know something else? I love that flip-stall!

Don't know why, but AH indeedly has not
roll and pitch and yaw inertia. That's bad.

Westy, this is big site, simple try use a menu in the bottom of the page. I'm not anonimous.

I think the FMs are just different. I can`t say which is more realistic as I`ve never piloted for real (and am not likely to, either!) Odd that the AH and WB Ju88s exhibit opposite-handed torque, and everything in AH feels a tad more "brittle" to me, but I have no idea if thats more or less realistic. I`ve heard thaat even the "full realism" FM in WB has smoothing code - I`ve also heard a person who is actually a pilot say that the only plane he`d flown in either game that felt close to real to him was the Me262 in WB (I must get him to try the Ar234 in AH), whilst others think one or t`other is better or spot on, but not the other.

(Shrugs) - what do I knwo? I can only assume that they`re both about as good as they can be - for now. I enjoy flying both of them, although I only fly AH offline.  AH is getting closer to being an attractive alternative to WB for me, though, but as yet lacks the early war planes it`d need to stand a chance of peeling me away from WB. On the other hand, there`s WBIII on the horizon (yeah, I know - IEN and all that..
:-} ) and WW2OL in a few months as well. I`m happy - I have choices, and they`re all improving by the day (well, 2 out of 3 ain`t bad..  -and the other improves by the month(s)...)

All together now, can you say 'compression'?

Introduced in AH 1.06 for the first time.

BTW Pyro, might be a good idea to delete this thread.  PG Monster's link mentioned above is a walking advertisement for FreeHost

Agree with Jekyll.
Interesting subject but FreeHost is a NoNo.

Okay, but do you know how many version we had to wait for compression in WB when it was just starting out?

I'm willing to bet HT was looking for a better way he could simulate it this time around.

The plane's still locked up pre 1.06 at high speeds.
