Update:
Screwed around with my graphics config and got it to run much better e.g. 2xAA and detail textures at 1280x 1024. Also found out that if an a/c did not have a trim axis in real life (such as it is) then they don't have it in TR (e.g. a lot of Japanese fighters only had rudder trim). Taking in time to calibrate and scale the stick does a lot for you here: otherwise youy end up having to putting on full stick deflation just to stay straight). Still not sure if this adds anything to the game.

Deal with it!

It takes at minimum a couple of hours of stick tweaking, help file reading, testing, repeat, repeat to even get close to it being really flyable.

Sounds like Brand-W during my last 6 months there...

OK

Got through on Meta server, DL'd Rabual. Now it gives me an error message every time it tries to load the terrain.

Try rebooting MT. Same thing happened to me.

Its not terribly bad...I have a few issues with the game so far but it seems to work fairly well.

The map thing is a bit odd...you aren't shown precisely where you are...so finding the fight, and yourself, is a fairly decent challenge

Also, for some reason, my throttle is stuck wide open...wont respnd to my throttle controller (X45) or the keyboard commands. I'll have to mess with it some more

Cloud layers are nice looking tho

No autopilot really shows me how poor my X45 is doing...its a lot of work to stay level...sigh...damn stick.

Too much of an up hill battle so far. I've been through beta's before and enjoy helping out but..... I'm willing to wait it out for T:K. My initial impressions are essentially the same as the man who posted about curiosity (same guy that also thought AW was the cats meow!) If HE thinks T:K suxxors then that really says bad things for T:R.

If you like mention WWIIO you dont have the time to type the L on the end before the lock comes...

My guess is that it was posted by someone that plays AH, nobody is really flaming anyone, it is not ripping on AH, and it doesn't read like a commercial for Targetware.

Then again, I could be wrong.

Well, the problem is that when someone posts anything about ww2ol, he is immideately ambushed and flamed by several of our patrolling fanbois. So a post about ww2ol automatically leads to flaming, and it is never the ww2ol guys who start it.

Something to think about...

Id say its pretty damn obvious that Diablo and JB73 and Rutilant and chaos68 were the ones who started flaming in that thread... all AH players...

Something to think about is that the reaction varies on who and how the presenting is done. Someone coming in and selling their wares vs a member of the community talking about another game. I don't really expect you to get it either Hortlund. I also don't expect you to understand the reaction to a game that many people here had a VERY bad experience with vs one that nobody has any experience with.

The reaction many AH players have given to WWIIO topics in the AH forumns have been a direct result of revisionist, product shilling posts made over the last couple of years by Hardcase/Zeroace and to a lesser extent Fishu. That's in addition to the distaste for CRS/WWIIO by those who got burned by the intitial sell and thier crap all along the way since.

Of course people should be able to post thier thoughts and opinions over on the WWIIO boards but they can't unless they spend the $$$ for an account to do so.

Don't let yourself get dragged off topic, people know why a number of players have bad feelings for WW2OL and rightly or wrongly they expressed those views, this topic was suppossed to be about Targetware's sim unless of course you'd like Hardcase to get his way and have this thread locked too?
