I heard most people overthere fly with their keyboards so I'm assuming thier FM's suck bad..is that right? Is it worth flying overthere at all?

Flying there is like a space sim

That's what I heard. Keyboard to fly and you have to hold down the "throttle" key down all the time or your engine cuts out.

Sounds like WWIIOL. Planes are not what make the game.

LOL, yeah, I wouldn't consider it much of a flight sim. It's basically an FPS and a fun one at that. You can drive toejam, float toejam, and fly toejam, but there's no reason to fly with anything other than a mouse. I tried using a joystick once (you can set up different controls for different modes - infantry, vehicle/ship, flight), but it made no difference.

I have that damn game...never ran on my machine.

I've heard a few people mention that if you are even average here-you can completely dominate overthere....

It's not even a comparison. If you're looking for a fun flight sim, BF1942 ain't it.

I only use airplanes to fly behind nme lines and bail out. You can't fly 10 seconds before your off the map. If it claims to be part flightsim, it's the worst flightsim ever.

How does that relate to WW2OL?

v1.2 introduced joystick support. I use my throttle, rudder and stick X-36 set-up.

It's not meant to be a serious anything - it's just a pick up and play type of game, and it does exactly what it says on the tin. There's a tonne of freedom to do what you like.

I've got the Road to Rome addon, which introduces new maps, Mosquito, BF110 etc. I think it's excellent.

I thought Hardcase had been 'removed'?

BF1942 is an FPS with vehicles, it's a fun game but don't look for realistic plane or tank handling it's an FPS game and was never intended to be a simulation. the mosquito they added wasnice but it's the bubble nosed Mk IV and yet had forward firing cannon

I've always heard that comprehension is the key to reading. I wish you would try....

Sounds like WWIIOL. Planes are not what make the game.

I will try to type slowly: The above statement means that WW2OL has strengths other than the flight part. Team playing, tanking, infantry, the whole ground scenario. Planes alone certainly doesn't make WW2OL worthy. OK? No one criticized your precious game.
